The Arsenal FC and Holland international football player spoke through his club's official website on the reforms that need to be implemented in the beautiful game.
After the Premier League revealed that goal-line technoglogy could be introduced as early as next season.
"I would like to add a camera on the goal-line. I think it would be a good idea to have a Hawk-eye, like in tennis. Every team should have one option in each half to use the Hawk-eye to see if the ball is over the line or not. Frank Lampard had a goal disallowed at the World Cup that was at a very crucial point. It was clearly a goal and when things like that happen, it’s very frustrating," added the Gunners marksman.
The Dutch forward, then gave us a more conventional idea of how technology could improve the game.
"I would have [technology] for the offside rule but I’m not sure what, because it’s ruled by a human and humans do make mistakes. Sometimes you are lucky and sometimes you are not. I remember scoring a goal against Chelsea when I was one metre offside but last season I had two goals disallowed that were onside. In the end, I think it will be 50/50 with your luck and you have to deal with that," he told arsenal.com
In conclusion, I think that FIFA should make use of a touch-match-referee (TMO). and If the ICC and IRB can make use a camera official in developing nations, then I don't see why the richest sport in the world cannot make use of technology. This is the richest sport in the world.
