FIFA recently announced that it will start using goal-line technology in major international competitions, including the World Cup, so that goals can be better decided upon if they only slightly cross the goal line. This is a great step forward for FIFA, making sure that goals are called as goals. But they could definitely make this decision better and have the goals announced with some awesome lighting and sound.
They could go the hockey route and put a spinning light behind the goal, and a giant air horn, that both go off the moment the ball crosses the line.
Another idea would be to take the basketball route, and have the goal frame light up red when a goal is made, just like basketball backboards do when the shot clock runs out or game ends.
Or perhaps, they could take some inspiration from the video game NBA Jam. I'm referring to the moment when a player makes several shots in a row and the game yells "He's on fire!". I'm not suggesting a flaming soccer ball, but simply a net that bursts into flames the moment a goal is sensed by the new technology!
Surely this would also increase the number of Americans watching.
