A year ago, when the World Cup started in Brazil, there was a lot of talk about the deployment of camera referees, but the most speculation was about German technology Goal-line technology. It is a technology of placing cameras that precisely capture the goal line and if there is a questionable moment, i.e. it is not known whether the ball has crossed the goal line or not, this technology is put into play and if the ball was completely behind the line, the referee's watch vibrates to signal a goal. At that time, the FIFA board of directors was divided into two halves. The one that is in favor of Goal-line technology and the other side that claims that these technologies will only ruin football. Did the cameras ruin the game?ance hockey? No, hockey has become much more fair-play game than ever before.
But we have other cases where wearables are really improving football. For example, the German company Adidas is putting technology into its football boots miCoach, when the sensor in the boot collects data such as your steps, the power of the shot and the like, and then you can view them easily via a mobile application. It can be seen that Adidas wants to make football a smarter sport and this is backed up for example by its latest piece of technology, which Adidas simply called miCoach Smart Ball. You probably already know what it is from the name. The ball gives you information about your kicks and flight speed, etc. You can then simply view all the data in the aforementioned application. He also bets on the ball Apple, because he started selling it on his official website apple.com. If you are interested in it, it can be yours for almost five and a half thousand crowns.
These are all just snippets of how modern wearables can change such a widespread sport as football. It's a step in the right direction for me. What is your opinion?
I would like more to introduce technologies that can help the game and show whether there was a goal or not, whether it was offside or whether someone is simulating... the rest of what you wrote would be just a bonus, but it should start somewhere elsewhere. But there would have to be an interest in football
Thanks for the opinion, I personally feel that football is not improving and moving forward due to FIFA not wanting to implement cameras. At one point we hear how FIFA is experimenting with cameras, but then I look at the Champions League and see something that we don't even have... Not to mention the mistakes of the referees at the World Cup :/
