The pressure was increasing continuously and eventually he had to give in to some extent. FIFA boss, Sepp Blatter, officially apologized to Mexico and England for the obvious errors that were made by some of the referees during World Cup soccer matches, which included the dismissal of evident goals.

Unlike past appearances, where Blatter vehemently objected to any notion of introducing video and replay technology – similar to the “Hawk Eye” that has become a state of the art tool on the Tennis ATP tour – he finally gave in to re-opening the discussion.

During a press briefing he announced the addition of the introduction of supporting technology to the July agenda of the International FA Board. This is a result of the recent incidents at the ongoing 2010 Soccer World Cup.

However, he also stated that the mistakes made would not mean the end of football. Well, he might be right on that, but the truth of the matter is, it actually was the end for two competitors because they were deprived of the realistic chance to further advance in the tournament.
