World Cup Match Ball Goes High-Tech #shorts

The 2022 FIFA World Cup kicked off in Qatar featuring new so-called “connected ball technology.” The official match ball made by Adidas is called Al Rihla, which means ‘The Journey” in Arabic. And it’s loaded with sensors that transmit data 500 times per second. The ball can track every touch, and officials will use it to help inform offside calls as well. #worldcup2022 #tech #fifa

Football is getting more and more technology but the decisions made by officials are so poor

Imagine connecting your football to the Wi-Fi 💀

[emdagon]

I can feel her pain saying “illegal winning goal” 😂

[redskins]

Even with VAR, they are making bad decisions.

[jassingh]

Australian: calls it soccer

Europeans: “Americans man”

[CHAKAZULU]

I've never heard "human referee" that casually

[armani]

"More accurate than ever before." 😂

[Kapcerballs]

And they still manage to make the history's worst possible calls out there.

What do you call a game played with your foot🦶 and a ball⚽??
The whole world: Football
Americans: Soccer
🤦🤦

And yet in Brazil vs Croatia they didn't do a thing when the guy from Croatia literally played volleyball to defend their goal ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I'm curious how some sensors would help with detecting a hands fault. Just the Replay would help in that regard.

Referee: Ima gonna end the whole career of lautaro martinez🤣🤣

[Joakron_]

Ball: "Ooh.. yes. I definetly felt that it was a hand touching me."

[NSC-Modz]

In future you can call back the ball to you with alexa 😂

[ravan]

Meanwhile Japan: I'm going to end this ball's whole career 💀

[MrGates]

Maybe not illegal winning goal, but definitely a no call pk twice that cost Uruguay the match, is frustrating when the ref still has so much power that they can refuse to use VAR and get away with it

[syko]

"The referee should be able to make more accurate calls than ever before"

Aged well.

[gerardoluna]

English always bring up Maradona because he scored another goal that game that was legal and legendary 😉

[cristianescobal]

“But what you won’t see, is a illegal goal” even after the illegal goals made by wrong ref calls

[ibbyultrainstnct]

All this technology
Ronaldo: it touched my hair, i promise
