The Official FIFA World Cup 2014 Theme Song
The FIFA World Cup 2014 is set to begin on June 12, but for more than a year, its location in Brazil has caused a lot of controversy. I guess the football officials are hoping to divert some of that negative attention away from the event via pop culture projects, such as this music video. It features Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, and Claudia Leitte, singing a remix of the official FIFA World Cup 2014 song, “We Are One (Ole Ola).”I have to admit, it’s pretty freakin’ catchy. It’s a perfect combination of Brazilian culture, shots of international soccer players, and booty-dropping. Suddenly I forget all about the corruption, the half-finished construction plans, and the general chaos that is bound to ensue once the games officially begin. [By
Goal-Line Technology Will Be Used For First Time At World Cup 2014. As was requested by the IFAB as a condition for its implementation goal-line technology is straightforward: it is a technical means of instantly determining whether or not the whole of the ball has crossed the goal-line, not more and not less. The IFAB required that goal-line technology was not to interfere with the game. As a consequence the requirements were set up determining that only the match officials are to receive a signal to indicated whether or not the ball has crossed the line. The information is transmitted within one second which ensures immediate response from the referee. Due to this design there are no stoppages or other forms of interference in the game. The match officials are the only ones to receive the signal on their watches. Unless there is a conscious choice by the competition organiser to show a reply, the information is only available to the referee and helps in challenging situations.
