Actually being a soccer ref for many years and playing the sport. (I was a goalie) The whole ball has to cross over the line unlike footbal where just the ball neads to break the plane. If part of the ball is on the line then, no goal. It can be difficult to catch so they implemented some new tech for this.

What I would like to get is the radio frequency that the coaches on the field talk to the coaches in the box. Similar to NASCAR where radio comunications between pits, drivers and spotters are always available. Would be a fun game time experience.
