The use of technology in soccer: Is it neccessary?

There was a controversy in the match between England vs Germany in the World Cup 2010. It happened in the 39th minute when Frank Lampard's shot hit the post and the ball bounced back on the ground. Frank Lampard smiled and raised his hands to celebrate the goal. However, the referee decided that there was no goal although from the video replay, it was clear that the ball has crossed the goal line when it bounced back. Based on this controversial decision, some people suggest the use of technology, in this case a camera, to decide whether a crucial moment like this is a goal or not. I personally agree with this idea and the reasons are as follows:

First, by using a technology, the referee will reap the benefit from it which means he can get a great help from the technology. When there is an important decision he has to make, he can look at the video replay for a few seconds before making a decision. He has to look at what really happened and then he can make a decision afterwards. So, it is clear that the referee is the person who will get the benefit from it.

Next, this technology will improve accuracy and minimize human error. Sometimes, referee as a human can also make a wrong decision when there is an incident on the pitch. The function of the video replay is to show what has really happened a few moments before. So, based on that, the referee can make accurate decisions during the match.

Finally, hopefully both teams are satisfied with the referee's decisions. During the video replay, the match will be stopped for a few seconds, so the officials of both teams can also watch what has really happened. All details in the incident will be shown so that the referee's decision will be fair ones. When the match ends, there will be no controversy anymore since both teams are quite satisfied with all referee's decisions.

In brief, I do agree with the idea of using technology in a soccer match because it will help the referee himself, improve accuracy and satisfy both teams during and after the match.
