Fifa ponders goal-line technology
Fifa says it will wait until March to decide whether to use an electronically chipped football at the World Cup finals in Germany next summer.
Fifa believes the technology will help referees to decide if the ball has crossed the goal-line.
Geoff Hurst's second goal against West Germany in the 1966 World Cup final famously bounced down on the line and was awarded as a goal by the linesman.
Fifa spokesman Markus Siegler said it will meet in March to discuss the ball.
It has already been tested in the Under-17 World Championship in Peru in September and is expected to be used in the forthcoming World Club Championship.
Liverpool's Luis Garcia scored a controversial winning goal in last season's 1-0 Champions League semi-final win over Chelsea, with television replays unable to prove whether the ball had crossed the line.
