In early July 2012 FIFA sanctioned the use of goal-line technology, subject to rules specified by the [[International Football Association Board]] (IFAB), who had officially approved its use by amending the [[Laws of the Game (association football)|Laws of the Game]] to permit (but not require) its use.<ref>{{cite news |last=Bailey |first=Graeme |url=http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7870900/goal-line-technology-approved |title=Goal-line technology approved |publisher=[[Sky Sports]] |date=6 July 2012 |access-date=6 July 2018 |archive-date=7 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180707011231/http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7870900/goal-line-technology-approved |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://football-technology.fifa.com/en/media-tiles/about-goal-line-technology/ |title=About Goal-line Technology |publisher=FIFA |access-date=6 July 2018 |archive-date=12 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612140841/https://football-technology.fifa.com/en/media-tiles/about-goal-line-technology/ |url-status=live }}</ref> This followed a high-profile incident during a second-round game in the [[2010 FIFA World Cup]] between England and Germany, where a shot by Englishman [[Frank Lampard]], which would have levelled the scores at 2–2 in a match that ultimately ended in a 4–1 German victory, crossed the line but was not seen to do so by the match officials, which led FIFA officials to declare that they would re-examine the use of [[goal-line technology]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Coomber |first=Michael |url=httphttps://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/fifaworldcup/news/story/2010/06/29/sp-fifa-boss-to-consider-video-replay-1.html964232 |title=FIFA boss to consider video replay |publisher=[[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation]] |date=29 June 2010 |access-date=22 December 2010 |archive-date=11 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511131031/http://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/fifaworldcup/news/story/2010/06/29/sp-fifa-video.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
