2022 World Cup... gonna ruin the European Season

Thats still not the first angle everybody saw on tv, it looked off and was clear daylight.

@Yiddo The football governing bodies have implemented an automated system that is proved to be very accurate, and is trusted and approved by teams, assosiations, referees etc. It's the system that is used in situations where the referees are unable to make a call based on what they can see, or what current TV tech is able to.
But you still think you are right, and the said system got it wrong. Quite astonishing. What some TV picture might show is totally irrelevant, as it is probably not aligned with the goal line. It's also irrelevant because it is not the approved system for determining if the ball is out or not.

The video posted by @JerusalemMan is a great example of how a change in viewing angle, even just a few 10th of a degree, will make a massive difference. If you are not 100% aligned with the line, there is no way you can make a call either way. The goal line tech is calibrated to be 100% aligned, and will thus be able to make the right call.

Do they use that goal line tech or other automated systems in these situations?

Took quite some time for them to make the decision. Didn't seem like an automated thing like goal line tech at least.

Bit perhaps the "where is the ball at any given time" tech takes longer to use than goal line tech?

Are people genuinely saying they can't tell the curvature of the ball is over the line in that image? Time for specsavers chaps

Like any set of rules as long as they are consistent and applied fairly to every team that should be the end of the matter.
If the ball is in or out is a binary decision, with the technology available it should be an almost instant decision, should it take longer than that questions are going to be asked, and not about the technology but about the human interpretation of the decision.
If there is no technology then it is so close i find it very difficult to blame the officials for this call, it really is to close to call.
