Platini rejects goal-line move

VENICE, Italy - UEFA president Michel Platini spoke of his preference for human eyes over technology during European soccer's governing body's executive committee meeting on Thursday.

Earlier this week, FIFA president Sepp Blatter gave his backing to goal-line technology but Platini remained steadfast in his opposition to the idea, claiming UEFA's solution of putting two extra officials behind the goal was preferable to going down the route of electronic aids.

Blatter, however, said extra officials were too costly for poorer countries.
