Introduction
The sport I choose is soccer. I choose soccer because I think there are a lot of systems that work well in improving the game. The two systems I choose are goal line technology and GPS.

It’s very quick and doesn’t waste any time on the pitch, all the referee has to do is look at his watch and it will let him know if it’s a goal or not.
