My original plan was to create a TV commercial to be
displayed during important games. The reason I needed to do a video is because
it is hard to show a moving object in a picture. I could not download the
videos I needed to create the TV commercial, so instead I decided to create a
storyboard of the commercial. The problem and solution in my essay was
addressed to the FIFA organization. I proposed making goal-line technology required
in every official game that was played. In this TV commercial I want to address
the entire football fans because they can create pressure to the organization
to implement my solution. The TV commercial storyboard uses the most famous
ghost goal during the 2010 World Cup. Everyone remember the pain that England
suffered from this decision. Everyone also remembers how the FIFA president
reacted to the referee actions. This will enable the fans to outrage against
the football organization and ask for the goal-line technology to be
implemented to every official match there is. FIFA is a democratic organization
and often responds to fans requests. This is the reason I want to inform and
remember the problems there is when there is no technology on the field
assisting the referee. Everyone knows that humans are prone to errors. But fans
also know that there are solutions available to reduce human errors. Football fans
can start showing their interest towards goal-line technology to be implemented
in every official game. Fans also have the right to know that FIFA has the
financial power to implement this technology in every game. FIFA wins millions
of US dollars in every World Cup that is held. Fans need to request that the
money generated from these events is used to help the sport prospect in a fair
manner. This TV commercial should start during the 2013 Confederations Cup this
summer. This will give enough time for the fans to react and push the FIFA
organization to adopt it to every official tournament there is by 2014.

Goal Line Technology
FIFA will officially use Goal Line Technology during theFIFA Confederations Cup 2013. FIFA has approved the official GLT provider: GoalControl GmBH. This system uses 14 high-speed cameras located around the field. The use of this technology is not to replace the role of the referee during to match, but to assist him while the decision making process that should be made in less than one second. This means that the referee will still have the maximum decision on the pitch. The problem with this technology is that during the testing face they did not do it with a full stadium. As a personal experience, every time I go to the stadium technology doesn’t work do to the vast amount of people in one designated area. My recommendation to fix this problem is to always test the systems 10 minutes before each game. This gives enough time before the game to successfully conduct a test when the stadium is full. The other recommendation I will give before this technology becomes part of the soccer world is to test it in all weather conditions and in all type of stadiums. Soccer is played in every type of weather and this can affect the decision. Also, each stadium is different. They range from the amount of people they hold to the height of the stadium where the cameras will be located.
