A message for soccer

In South Africa-Argentina, two tries were confirmed after reviewing the actions by TV; in other sports it happens the same

While soccer, in Korea and Japan lived the World-wide one on the controversy, the one of the unusual failures, the one of so many not confirmed, from South Africa, rugby, as it happens in other sports, it sent a message to them to the pop ones of the FIFA. In Pretoria, two tries were confirmed after reviewing the plays by TV. The comparison respect to which it happens in East, then, was inevitable. And it threw the question: if rugby, basquetbol (NBA) or the baseball appeals to the technological advances, how much will have to hope the most popular sport of the world to apply a similar system?

But we return to rugby. As it said, through videoref (a referee which it consults all the televising repetitions from a theater box), the referee Jamiel Tanday - of loose work it confirmed two tries: one of Dean Hall, of South Africa, and another one of Pedro Sporleder, the Pumas. In rugby, for two years the International Board - organization that governs the sport uses the videos like aid in the test-matches, after which the system was proven successfully in Super the 12.

Immediately, World-wide one of soccer thinks that this, to which it has left two parties to dispute, could have suffered a totally different fate if the referees had counted with the possibility of consulting the shootings. Of this form, to mention only a case, Spain it would have won to him to Korea 1 to 0 and the goal of Morientes incorrectly had not been annulled by the Ghandour referee. The Egyptian received erroneously that the ball left the field when Joaquin sent the center that the man of Real Madrid shaked one's head to the network. But history was the other way around: Korea won by penitentiaries and reached the semifinal…

Nevertheless, far it is of the mind of the FIFA taking advantage of the tecnonología to eradicate doubts. President Joseph Blatter denied this possibility in forceful form recently. He is more: in some stages he ordered himself to extinguish the system of televisación by giant screen because the reiteration of controverted failures could alter to the spectators, who saw in the repetitions how the sanctions were unfortunate.

In the world, there are different situations in which the recordings play an important role. In NBA, the owners of the tax exemptions are evaluating the possibility of taking the testimony from the TV to solve some doubtful decisions of the referees. The intention of the organization is to turn judge to the television before some controversial play, but only in the last two minutes of the party. Basquetbol university already implemented the use of the TV for the last action of an even party.

"Although humanly it is understandable, it is not possible to be allowed that an equipment gains or loses a party because of an incorrect decision; much less when we have to our reach solutions to make the things well ", it was the clear one and it makes specific reflection on the subject of David Stern, the man more hard of NBA.

For two years, the ice hockey has been stopping the party and checks the repetition of the TV before the doubt by an invasion of the semicircle of the arquero or another crucial action of goal.

The american football makes available of the referee a television set and a closed cabin, on the brink of madness the field, to review any action. In addition, in a theater box of the tribune are three judges who analyze the actions by television and have direct connection with the referee of field by means of one chicharra , that alerts of any erroneous decision or clarifies a controverted play.

And something more. In beisbol six stages exist where cameras of optical persecution were placed which they accurately follow the trajectory of the ball millimetric and determines if the action is good or null. In the next season other six stages will include the same system. In the baseball already they are convinced at least that in few years more human referees will not be needed.

In our pole, when both field judges do not agree themselves in a failure consult with the third man, who often watches in his monitor the repetition of the play before informing his opinion. Also, several of the sanctions applied by the Argentina Association of Pole are based on televising images. In counterpart, the AFA, like the organization mother FIFA, does not accept the shootings like test.

The debate just begins…
