Take your time with this, and cast your vote, you may be surprised to hear that in the region of 2.1 billion people worldwide have got this correct, and only 2 people got it so very wrong.
Have fun, and later I bring you How far offside was Carlos Tevez against Mexico

The UK has nothing to do with it. Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini have voted against it for FIFA and UEFA respectively, nothing to do with English or any other football nation. We want technology used, we have for decades.
Fifa's excuse is mistakes are all part of the game. Not when they cost your team both massively financially and morally they are not

At the 124th Annual General meeting of the International Football Association Board (IFAB) in Zurich on 6 March 2010, which, as is the case with every FIFA World Cup™ year, was chaired by myself on behalf of FIFA, the IFAB decided not to implement technology in football.
FIFA supports this decision, based on the following points:
Here is what Fifa President Sepp Blatter says:
The simplicity and universality of the game of association football is one of the reasons for its success. Men, women, children, amateurs and professionals all play the same game all over the world.
The human aspect: no matter which technology is applied, at the end of the day a decision will have to be taken by a human being. This being the case, why remove the responsibility from the referee to give it to someone else? It is often the case that, even after a slow-motion replay, ten different experts will have ten different opinions on what the decision should have been.
Fans love to debate any given incident in a game. It is part of the human nature of our sport.
FIFA’s goal is to improve the quality of refereeing, making referees more professional and better prepared, and to assist referees as much as possible. This is also the reason why refereeing experiments (such as with additional referees or the role of the fourth official) will continue to be analysed, to see how referees can be supported.
The financial aspect: the application of modern technologies can be very costly, and therefore not applicable on a global level. Many matches, even at the highest level, are not even televised. For example, we have close to 900 preliminary matches for the FIFA World Cup™, and the same rules need to be applied in all matches of the same competition. The rules need to be the same for all association football matches worldwide.
The experiments conducted by companies on technology in football are also expensive. The decision of the IFAB, after careful consideration and examination of studies conducted in recent years, to give a clear answer on technology in football is also positive in this regard as these companies will now not spend significant amounts of money on projects which in the end will not be implemented.
The extended use of technology: the question has already been raised: if the IFAB had approved goal-line technology, what would prevent the approval of technology for other aspects of the game? Every decision in every area of the pitch would soon be questioned.
The nature of the game: association football is a dynamic game that cannot be stopped in order to review a decision. If play were to be stopped to take a decision, it would break up the rhythm of the game and possibly deny a team the opportunity to score a goal. It would also not make sense to stop play every two minutes to review a decision, as this would go against the natural dynamism of the game."

I say fair enough, but the game does not need to stop every 2 minutes, they are blowing it out of preportion.
A team should be given the chance to appeal once in every half of each game, so 2 times in a match if they wish to, game stops briefly, by referee just like for an injury. Monitor at side of pitch like in american football, he checks it, decides. Game on. Take 30 seconds tops. Problem solved.
