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.

They should definitely do everything they can to make sure the technology is as accurate as possible. If a player has actually scored, the team should have the right to earn the point. As you said, the technology should be tested in the most similar conditions to the actual game as possible.
