Football's judgment human body, FIFA, has already decided that goal-line technology will undoubtedly be used at next year's World Cup in Brazil, which, in and of itself, was an indirect nod for different games to follow suit. Today, one of the globe's biggest leagues introduced it also may apply the recently approved technology in its matches, with the Premier League letting it be known that the 2013-2014 year is set to be the first to adopt the new system. Speaking of which, the Football Association went with Hawk-Eye, an engineering currently contained in professional sports like golf and cricket -- one that gives seven fast-frame fps around the two objectives and uses software to easily review if the ball indeed crossed the line. For the football (soccer) faithful, it is been along time coming, therefore here's hoping this makes the overall game less vulnerable to problems. After all, Howard Webb and Mike Dean need all they help they can get. [Image credit, Premier League]
