Goal Line Technology Should not be used in football( international) no matter how important the game

I greatly apologize my opponent and audience for missing the third round. I will make it up in this last one. *Rebuttal* ==That is not true. Refs do use technology such as ear mics. It is the players that everyone is watching not the refs. One of the refs most important jobs is making the game fair. Goal line technology would only improve soccer.== Sorry for the confusion, there is technology put into soccer. However, it is necessary. Something like ear mics or walkie-talkies are essential for the game to move on because one needs to communicate to another. But is goal line technology really necessary? No. However, UEFA is testing an idea that hasn't had any complaints: adding two more referees into the game and posting them at each goalpost to see more clearly whether the goal has been made or not. Problem solved? Yes. Easily done? Yes. Any problems? No. ==Why should the sport depend on the human judgment and error of the referees? It depends on the judgment and error of each individual player and coach, but I do not see how referees making mistakes makes it more entertaining.== "Players, coaches and referees all make mistakes. It's part of the game. It's what I would call the 'first match.' What you see after the fact on video simply doesn't come into it; that's the 'second match,' if you like. Video evidence is useful for disciplinary sanctions, but that's all. As we've always emphasised at FIFA, football's human element must be retained. It mirrors life itself and we have to protect it." ( http://bleacherreport.com... ) This is said by FIFA's general secretary. Con says the game depends on the judgment and error of each individual player and coach, but FIFA's secretary says the same only with referees added to the list. "The FIFA president, Sepp Blatter, disagrees with technology testing because he believes human error is part of the game and goal line technology should be prohibited." ( http://kpyne1.wordpress.com... ) This is said by FIFA's president. Apparently, the most important people in the game of futbol agrees about the fact on not integrating unnecessary technology. ==On the contrary that is completely wrong. Every single time a referee makes a bad mistake both fans, players, and managers make a huge fuss about it. My opponents statement is not at all true that their mistakes make football a better game.== This has been refuted by my rebuttal in the previous one. ==American football has much more technology than soccer, and is it still a sport? I do not see how adding technology will turn soccer into a business. It doesn't really make sense to me.== Is American football a business? yes it is. ( http://detroit.cbslocal.com... ) ==You will easily find that when referees make bad mistakes no one is at all forgiving. Have you ever seen Arsene Wenger or Alex Ferguson blast away at the refs after making even simple mistakes? And that's only managers that I mentioned the fans are even more ruthless.== I have indeed. Especially the one with Ferguson...such a beautiful goal!! Anyways, the answer to this problem isn't technology, it's adding more referees. Don't you agree that if there was one extra referee standing right behind the goal, history would've been the same as when technology was put in the game? Concluding statement 1 I have a question to ask the audience, what is so different about futbol from the rest of the sports? It is free flowing and with minimal pauses. Okay, so there are occasional fouls and penalties causing the delay of the game but the majority of the 90 minutes is all playing excluding the long intermission in the middle. Look at swimming, 3 laps more or less and it's done. Look at american football, only an average of 11 minutes of playing!! and that's in the highest level football. ( http://online.wsj.com... ) Look at basketball, one team runs to one side, shot, make, *pause*, other team runs to one side, shot, make, *pause*. I don't even need to say anything about baseball. There is no game more uninterrupted than soccer. Adding goal line technology will only slow down this free flowing game. Look at a corner kick or a free kick kicked by someone like David Beckham. Balls curve, especially when they're kicked by the most prestigious players in the world. Many times, the ball is extremely close to getting into the goal, almost close enough that sometimes, I believe it is a goal. But does that mean every time, there must be a devastating pause in the game just to find out if it should be validated? Concluding statement 2 Goal line technology involves machines. Even if we think that we are very deep into advancements in technology, we are, unfortunately not. Computers crash all the time, cars still break down, almost all devices run on batteries...There is no telling whether or not the goal line technologies inputed into the game can glitch causing a huge confusion and delay within the game frustrating everyone watching. What if the device breaks down? It might not happen very often but neither does a bad call from a referee. Concluding statement 3 According to ( http://answers.learninginfo.org... ), soccer is so popular due to the fact that it is extremely simple and easy to play. It only requires 2 teams and 1 ball thus allowing every country to play. Goal line technology is extremely expensive. Soccer crazy countries such as Brasil will not be able to host games in their country due to the fact that FIFA has decided to engrave an extremely unnecessary and ridiculously expensive item into a popular sport. Not every country is wealthy and adding something like this will only segregate poorer countries from the rich. Final statement. Ladies and gentlemen, adding this technology is completely unnecessary. UEFA is testing a great method of using 5 referees instead of 3 and it is working. There hasn't been a single complaint about how bad the referees were. It is a lot more cheaper and will definitely cause less confusion and delay within the game. Throughout this debate, I have offered a solution much cheaper and less complex and made reasons as to why technology should not be included in this sport. Vote pro! Thank you audience and my opponent for the opportunity to debate such a wonderful topic thank you.
