for the 66 "goal" in the final that is using old cameras and replays etc they now have modern technology including sensors in the ball and on the goal line and also cameras in the goal posts etc that can help see this better.. as i said this was tested in Peru but as DanielF pointed out the results were inconclusive..
the problem here is that rules make no mention of whether someone is trying to slide in and win the ball or doing a deliberate foul.. which is why there is so much diving going on
it still seems strange to me that in a game with as much money as football and as fast as football only has 1 linesman per half and one ref.. why not have 4 linesmen ?
during a match there are only two times when TV should be used.. did the ball cross the goal line ? also ATM players who get treatment, fall to the ground etc have to go off the pitch and come back on.. while they are off the pitch the fourth official should review the foul on TV and if it was clear he dived then he should stay off the pitch for 10 mins
although sometimes it is hard to tell if a foul as been committed or a player dived once we get away from the diving culture players will be more honest and won't dive all the time
also this is from "The Laws of the Game" from the FIFA web site
