FIFA president Sepp Blatter has revealed that goal-line technology will be introduced for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The 75-year-old ignored repeated calls for technology to be brought in following the controversy at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, when England midfielder Frank Lampard saw an effort ruled out against Germany despite the ball having clearly crossed the line.
