With the score 2-1 in the 38th minute, Lampard's volleyed effort cannoned off the bar and clearly crossed the line but the Uruguayan officials failed to give the goal which would have brought the score back to 2-2 and given England a massive boost for the second half.; Lampard then also hit the crossbar from a free kick early in the second half before Germany went on to score their third and forth goals.

The incident is bound to open up fresh discussion about goal line technology, Millions of fans watching the game across the world will have seen the ball clearly cross the line.

In march this year FIFA ruled out goal-line technology and effectively ended any chance of video replays coming into the game; FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke said: 'The door is closed. The decision was not to go ahead with technology at all.'

Boos could be heard around the ground out at half-time, as ironically FIFA chief Sepp Blatter, one of the most vocal defenders of keeping the technology out, sat watching in the stands.

A number of viable methods have been put forward in recent years, from the addition of an extra official behind the goal line, the use of extra officials was used during last season's Europa League which was seen as an undoubted success despite the lack of a crucial moment or match changing decision.

Many will know that in other main stream sports, tennis, cricket and even rugby, questionable decisions are re-examined so that correct decision is seen to be made, for the moment though it seems, not in football.
