Goal-line technology possible

England's Premier League and any others who want to introduce goalline technology got the go-ahead to do so from FIFA president Sepp Blatter on Wednesday, as long as the law-making International Football Association Board (IFAB) approves it next March.

Blatter opposed goalline technology for years and ended the debate on its future in March 2010, only to re-open it after Frank Lampard of England had a legitimate goal ruled out against Germany in the World Cup finals last year.

Blatter apologized for the officials' error a few days later, saying it was an unforgivable mistake and that goal changed his mind on the debate.
