Ref! Ref! Ref!

Referee versus reality. In 1966, when Geoff Hurst's shot was seen as a goal, modern goal-line technology was not available. But even today some FIFA officials prefer the "human factor" of making mistakes.

The International Football Association Board says Champions League games will have two extra assistant referees next year. The system was tried in last season's Europa League and will be used in Europe's elite club competition for the next two years. The experiment will allow FIFA to make a decision in 2012 about the future of refereeing.
The use of goal-line technology will be discussed at the International Football Association Board's next meeting in October. FIFA president Sepp Blatter has long been a bitter opponent of using technology to help referees make decisions, but the outcry over infamous mistakes such as Frank Lampard's disallowed goal in England's World Cup loss to Germany seem to be causing a rethinking of the official position.
FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke told BBC Sport that the Lampard incident, where the ball clearly bounced over the line had been "a bad day" for the South African tournament organisers. He also said the 2010 World Cup would be the last "under the current refereeing system."
