Watching the Milan-Juventus clash of the titans match. Milan just scored a goal that wasn't granted. Clearly, on replay, the ball crossed the line but not according to the line judge and referee.
It's a tired old debate with soccer. I don't understand sports that don't embrace technology to help them make the right call. We're not talking about subjective calls here, we're talking about taking a second to consult a lousy camera or even using a chip in the ball to make the FRICKEN RIGHT CALL.
Reminds me of the last important incident back at the World Cup in 2010 when England scored against Germany but was missed.
For me, sports that refuse to consult technology on the most basic of calls are in denial and delusional. There's no excuse for it.
The NFL of course, like usual, get it right. The struck the right balance between the human element and technology.
For their part, the NHL so-so but it can do more. MLB can use a hand. The NBA doesn't really need it.
