FIFA president Sepp Blatter on Monday ruled out the use of video evidence to deal with controversial refereeing decisions.
The issue came out again recently after France claimed that Patrick Vieira had had a good goal ruled out when his 32nd minute effort seemingly crossed the line in the 1-1 draw with South Korea in their World Cup Group G in Leipzig on Sunday.
"I don't think that stopping the match (to make a decision) to be the ideal solution," Blatter told French radio station RMC.
However, Blatter favours the "smartball" which contains a micro-chip and was trialled at the world under-17 championship in Peru last year.
