ZURICH (AP) - FIFA referees instructor Jorge Larrionda says goal-line technology can help at the 2014 World Cup, after issues at the 2010 tournament prompted its introduction.
Larrionda was the referee when England lost to Germany after his match officials failed to see that Frank Lampard's first-half shot crossed the line in South Africa.
Now employed by FIFA to train elite referees, Larrionda says "what we felt at the time was very tough" but adds it had a positive effect.
The mistake persuaded FIFA President Sepp Blatter to push for the approval of goal-line technology before the 2014 tournament in Brazil.
Larrionda says "it's for the global benefit of the sport."
The Uruguayan is helping prepare 52 World Cup referee candidates at a weeklong seminar that opens an 18-month training program.
