I can see why many people (especially English) are interested in cameras in and around the goals in soccer (aka the real football). It would certainly help a lot of referees out, earn more money to one club/country or player and make soccer more fair.
But soccer isn't fair. Soccer isn't about correct decisions, if it were we'd see a lot more penalty kicks in every match. Soccer is about human decisions and human feelings. If you want fairness and video technology, go play FIFA Soccer 2010 or American Football instead.
Soccer is a drama based on human feelings and quick decisions. That is the charm of watching soccer. If a team get their goal falsely overruled it changes the game instantly. Giving it even more excitement, thrill and tensions. If the game has to be stopped because someone claims the ball was in the net, we'll have these tedious American circumstances where the game is stopped to check something on a screen. This ruins the players concentration, the flow of the game and the overall viewing experience.
I have a better idea. In profesional handball the ball has a small chip that activates a vibrator in the referee's wrist watch, when the ball has passed the goal line. It's similar to the technology in the assistant referee's flag in soccer. They activate a vibrator around the referee's arm when they push a button on the flag.
I think that solution is much better than an extra referee behind each goal or video technology mounted on goals.
To the English who feel cheated by the referees I can only agree. The assistant referee should have seen the goal!
I'm sure Mexico are a bit upset about Tevez's off-side goal too. This is just as bad as not seeing a goal. Would you want the referee to stop the game everytime that happens too?
(I'm a soccer referee and assistant referee myself, so I know a little about soccer)
Book has been our friend since long time ago and apparently, we are not just satisfied by reading…We can to sleep on them, sit on them, cook with them, grow plant out of them. You might wonder I am going crazy, aren't you? Then stop wondering, just check today's post, we have some really creative and unusual idea out of our normal book.
1. Book Pot [link]
Got some books piling up in the corner just collecting dust? Turn them into flower pots! The honbachi, or book pot, was designed by graphic design agency Tokyo Pistol. I love how the moisture corrodes the pages and the book takes on a life of its own!
2. Turn a book into a seat [link]
From the idea that objects should adapt to people, and not the other way around, is born "take a seat". This folder stool uses the existing storage space that everyone dispose.

Made from solid oak boards and steel hinges, "Take a seat" provides a steady and comfortable casual stool.

4. Spicy Hot Book [link]
This wonderful book actually contains sheets that are embedded with spices. Traditionally we chop and store the flavorings in jars, but this is kinda like the soap-strip! Tear it and use it.

The moisture and heat ensure that the spices mix in well.

7. Bookworms Go Green [link]
The Live Book is a small planter wearing sheep's clothing – that is to say a book. It's a great way to jazz up that old book shelf and lets face it. Most of us rarely read our collection of books more than once. If anything, it becomes a display piece and so why not add a little green to it. The removable vase has a simple drainage system and actually opens up into a real book.

Carry your books in style and with a sense of humor with this pretty protective book cover that's shaped like a teacup.
