Intelligent football

Here is the all new intelligent ball. This ball has some special characteristics. This will intimate the referee, if the ball has crossed the line or not. This ball contains a chip in it. This chip monitors the ball's movement and transmits data to the antennas fitted into the light masts and other object around the pitch. The antennas are linked to high speed fiber optic rings, which route the data to cluster of Linux-based servers. Here the data will be processed and analyzed. The chip itself is suspended in the ball, such that it can observe hard kicks and acceleration efforts. This chip also provides additional informations like, number of times the ball is kicked, distance covered and other such statistics. Similar chips are manufactured to be inserted in a player's shin guard so that his performance can be monitored. This technique will be implemented in the club world cup that is taking place now. The referee will have a watch like device that indicate the ball's status such as, goal, out-of-bounds, etc. to the referee.
