Qatar World Cup to use semi-automated offside technology
Wow!? 1984 Style tracking of everything/everybody.

QUOTE
In addition to a sensor in the middle of the ball, which sends data 500 times a second to determine the exact kick-point, 12 dedicated multi-tracking cameras that are "100% synchronised" will be mounted on the roof of each stadium to track the ball and 29 points on each player, sending data 50 times per second to calculate their exact position on the pitch.

Any player in an offside position will trigger an alert in the video assistant referee booth that can be relayed to the on-pitch referee.

The system was trialled at last year's Arab Cup and Club World Cup, where it was estimated to have reduced the time taken to make offside VAR decisions from 70 to 25 seconds.

"We are very positive. It is ready," said Fifa's head of refereeing Pierluigi Collina.

Think of the tracking on the crowds....
Soulless fake humans are already AI.
They get triggered by particular words, symbols etc. They can't really bother about the meaning. They just look for the trigger words. Their language & comprehension skills are 0.

Football it is too hard to score goals

there should be no offside except in the penalty area.

i don't mind that, if they can recreate the entire game using CGI that would be great ... also tracking fans in their seats eh?

Is it the same as 'simple' VAR? It seems different. Pre-crime to save time!
