Cue the Goal-Line Technology Debate April 15, 2012, 3:51 pm Goal or no goal? Travesty or justice? Chelsea advanced to the F.A. Cup final Sunday at Wembley with a one-sided, 5-1, win against London rivals Tottenham. It will be a Red vs. Blue final as Chelsea face Liverpool, a 2-1 winner against its local rival, Everton, on Saturday, also in London. But yet again we have been dealt a goal line controversy after Referee Martin Atkinson awarded a goal to Juan Mata that gave Chelsea a 2-0 lead in the 50th minute. The goal comes in the video below at about the 1-minute mark: After the match, the Chelsea captain John Terry conceded that the ball had not completely crossed the goal line, if in fact the ball had ever sniffed the goal line. "I thought Mata's strike hit me and didn't go over (the line), but the linesman's seen it and given it," Terry told BBC radio. I honestly don't think it went over the line but the linesman gave it and there's nothing we can do about that. Spurs are one of the best sides in the league. It was a great performance and a great result. The incident is only the latest in a series of controversial goal-line decisions, including the nongoal in England's World Cup second-round match against Germany in South Africa in 2010. Up until recently FIFA and UEFA has been steadfast in their opposition to goal-line technology, a stance that has eased in recent months as the International Football Association Board has sanctioned renewed tests of the available systems. With Sunday's F.A. Cup semifinal seen around the world, can FIFA, whose motto is "Our Game Is Fair Play" now hope to forestall the use of the available technology. Could it? Should it? The answers seems to be obvious.
