Goal-line technology is being developed to help the already boring game of soccer become essentially more agonizing to watch...no cheap goals or off sided breakaways any more!! Hawk-Eye is the company behind the creation and has already begun implementing it into the English Premier League games. Some of these types of technologies are taking two dimensional images and turning them into three dimensional representations that can detect goals, offsides, and even handballs with the multiple slow motion cameras included in some of the technology packages. They are essentially adapting to what many American sports have moved toward over the last ten years or so. Not all fans are on board with this, nor are all team owners and personnel, feeling this could slow down the tempo and flow of the games.
