Problems with goal-line technology system in French league

ZURICH (AP) FIFA says it has been informed of glitches in the 2014 World Cup goal-line technology system during games in France.
Soccer’s governing body says it has yet to decide whether GoalControl will be used in Russia at a second World Cup.
FIFA’s statement followed the French league warning GoalControl in a meeting Tuesday the contract could be terminated at the end of the season.
The French league says it wants improvements after expressing ”dissatisfaction with the failures” in several matches.
Goal-line technology entered soccer after a goal was wrongly disallowed at the 2010 World Cup. FIFA is focused on fast-tracking the next phase of technology – video assistant referees – for the 2018 World Cup.
GLT and VAR systems were provided by Hawk-Eye at this year’s Confederations Cup.
