FIFA World Cup 2014 introduced a new technology to the world named 'GOAL CONTROL' which helps referee's to take accurate goal decisions.This technology was developed by a German tech startup company.The designers says that this technology is unhackable and 100% accurate.
The most important part of this technology is 14 high speed camera's placed all around the ground which will capture 500 images per second and helps to create 3-D positioning of the ball. Another important part of this technology is a powerful image processing computer, which process and analyze the images captured by those high speed camera's.The computer, by analyzing those images,tracks the movement of all objects in the ground and filters out everything except football movement.
If the ball passes the goal line ,a signal is send to referee's watch displaying a message "GOAL" with a vibration.All these happens within 1 second when ball passes the line.It cost's around $260,000 to install this technology per stadium and $3,900 per match to operate this technology.

In World Cup 2010,England's midfielder Frank Lampard's goal against Germany was disallowed by referee.That was a turning point of the match which led to Germany's victory.This incident caused widespread protest all over the world and that made FIFA president Sepp Blatter to use some kind of technology which helps referee's to take accurate decisions.This paved the way of development of Goal Control technology.
