The Premier League has voted to introduce goal-line technology from the 2013-14 season. British-based Hawk-Eye has been awarded the contract to provide the system. Hawk-Eye uses seven cameras per goal to detect the ball and claims its system is "millimetre accurate, ensuring no broadcast replays could disprove the decision".
Nice, that is great news. Now we can hope for a rule that allows a team to review one decision with video material. So many offside goals the past few days in the Champions League..
I doubt it will even dent finances of the 20 clubs and the Premier League combined. From what I read on goal.com, it'll cost the clubs around £85,000 a year to run plus a one-off installation cost in the region of £50,000. My question, what happens to the system installed at the stadiums of relegated teams? Because until the Football League jump on-board, it'll be useless.
I think whatever happened, we were in for four great games. I think Madrid will be in the final with Bayern. Barcelona have relied on their home form in the previous two ties and I can't see Bayern rolling over easily at the Nou Camp.
The 2nd match at Camp Nou will be epic I'm sure.
Yep, I'm also betting on a Bayern-Madrid final, but I wouldn't bet on the possible winner of that match. I mean, Bayern plays MILES better than Madrid in all aspects, but Mourinho does really know how to pump his players for the finals.
