FIFA president Sepp Blatter apologises over disallowed England goal and concedes it's time to talk about technology



FIFA president Sepp Blatter has apologised to the Football Association over England's disallowed goal in the disastrous match against Germany.

Blatter, who has been vocal in his dislike of goal-line technology in the past, said today that FIFA will discuss bringing in such equipment in a meeting planned for next month.
