No extra officials for World Cup

Fifa has decided against introducing extra linesmen at the 2010 World Cup.

But president Sepp Blatter revealed that an inquiry would be carried out into the benefits of video technology and extra officials.

World football’s governing body had been tipped to fast-track a decision on goal-line officials in the wake of the furore over Thierry Henry’s handball.

Henry handled twice before setting up France’s winner against the Republic of Ireland in their World Cup play-off.

Henry, meanwhile, will be investigated by Fifa’s disciplinary committee.

The Fifa president said the executive committee had discussed the idea of introducing goal-line officials at the World Cup having introduced them for this season’s Europa League.

He continued: "The committee was of the opinion that we are at a crossroads: where shall we go with refereeing in the future?

But the committee concluded that they wanted a full inquiry into both options, extra officials and the use of video technology, before making any decision about the future.

FIFA are bringing in a rule clubs can only have eight players out on loan. That’ll hit the likes of Chelsea and juventus big time. It’ll also mean could players are available on the cheap.

The guardian podcast on fifa yesterday is fairly mad. You’d have thought they’d have cleaned things up a bit.
