1966's 'Ghost goal' haunts England

In 1966 world cup, England and Germany-then called West Germany-met in the finals at Wembley. Upto to fulltime, the score was 2-2 and the teams went into extra time. Then Germany netted in in the extra time, the ball went in and bounced back-the same way it happened to England in 2010 world cup. It's a case of technology and deja vu. Since 1966, this Germany goal-nick named the 'ghost goal'- has always been a debate topic when it comes to using goal line technology which FIFA president Sepp Blatter has been hesistant to adopt.
