This sensor detected a Croatian player touching a ball that no camera on Earth saw him touch: GOAL DISALLOWED.
The same sensor felt nothing when the ball visibly smashed into a camera cable and handed England a goal.
It detects hairs but not steel cables.
Impressive technology.
@TheAthleticFC Expanding until he can get China and India in.... 3 billion fans... Cha-ching! $$$€€€
cos that's the only thing that matters to @FIFAcom
Why is Argentina the only team to get an evening slot for their match against Switzerland (them too) while the other teams have to slug it out when heat & humidity are their worst...
Jyst saying...

When Ringo Starr was sidelined with tonsillitis in 1964, drummer Jimmie Nicol stepped in to play with The Beatles for eight concerts. For 10 unforgettable days, he lived the life of a global superstar before quietly returning home. Pictured here, Nicol sits alone at Melbourne Airport on June 15, 1964, waiting for the flight that would take him back to his ordinary life.
In June 1964, London session drummer Jimmie Nicol was living a relatively ordinary life when he received an extraordinary phone call. With Ringo Starr hospitalized with acute tonsillitis just before the Beatles’ world tour, Nicol was asked to fill in with only a day’s notice. After hastily learning the band’s setlist, he joined John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison for eight concerts across Denmark, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and Australia, finding himself at the center of Beatlemania almost overnight.
This photograph, taken at Melbourne Airport on June 15, 1964, captures the end of that remarkable journey. After Ringo recovered and rejoined the band in Australia, Nicol quietly boarded a flight home alone, returning to the anonymity he had known just ten days earlier. Although he continued working as a musician, he never again experienced the worldwide fame that came with briefly becoming “the fifth Beatle.” The image has since become one of rock history’s most iconic photographs, reminding us how quickly fame can appear—and just as quickly fade away.
This @FIFAWorldCup just keeps on giving... Controversy after controversy, corruption upon corruption, injustice upon injustice and favouritism upon favouritism, compounded with the most idiotic lies conceivable...
Just b/c they know they can...
The latest edition => #argegy
@henrywinter "wonderful tournament" ?!
Which one are you watching, b/c the one the rest of us are watching is inferior, football-wise... But the sideshow is gripping...

@FabrizioRomano Like I've said...
One thing I've learnt from experience... If you have to keep saying that you're independent, you're really not...
@FIFAWorldCup@FIFAcom
@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz@FIFAWorldCup Soooo, he committed a red card offence... And they say if he commits another red card offence, they'll make him serve the initial ban. Not two, just the one...
Make it make sense...
Rotten to the core... Only for the privileged... @FIFAWorldCup
@FabrizioRomano@MelissaMOrtiz Damn, this @FIFAWorldCup gets more and more pathetic as it goes on... Like a bad sitcom...
Double standards, triple standards.
No standards
Unbelievable!
