This story came out on March 2
nd from London when Manchester
United's goalkeeper, Ben Foster used an
iPod to help bring his team to victory in shootouts. The details of this story states that the keeper recorded penalty kicks of the opposing team from previous games to strategies which direction the players were likely to shoot towards. And sure enough when it came up to the first shooter he shot the same direction he had gone previously and that was the way Foster went and saved the goal.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has strayed away from using any type of video playback to determine if the ball successfully crosses the goalline. But after review of the laws of the game there was no mention of it and has been stated is not against the laws and no action will be done to the keeper.
This brings up the question that anyone will do anything now to try and get ahead whether its recording the signs and plays of the opposing team or using an iPod to beat your opponent.
