This has been a long time coming, although it will be longer before it actually comes... microchips in a soccer ball to decide goal-line plays. Good to hear this is coming; not so good to hear how elementary the implementation is. One microchip in a ball that size?!? Whose brilliant idea was that? Gotta have at least six (two per dimension) or the problem of "does it actually cross w/o the chip crossing" becomes amplified unnecessarily.
But seriously, hockey had this figured out like 10 years ago. Tennis is using buzzers to decide line calls. Soccer, meanwhile, is the most contentiously-refereed sport on the planet, with the simplest number of actual rules to detect electronically. We're really more than a few years away from having this technology???
