- 32. Q. In association football , X is a questionable goal,
usually involving uncertainty as to whether or not a ball crossed
the goal line. X can be awarded without the ball ever crossing the
goal- line and, conversely, the term can be applied when the ball
crosses the goal-line unseen by the referee. In an attempt to
combat this issue, new rules allowing goal-line technology were
passed by IFAB in 2012 and used in the FIFA World Cup. Perhaps the
most famous incident relating X is the Wembley Goal scored by
England striker Geoff Hurst in the 1966 FIFA WC Final against West
