Manchester United star, Ryan Giggs, along with Olympic Gold medal sprinter, Darren Campbell, had recently launched Reebok's new AF1 football range, which will put an end to arguments at kick abouts up and down the country over whether a goal should stand.

The much awaited invention, which will help to prove if the ball has hit the jumper or actually crossed the line, features New Advanced Sports Aerodynamics technology (N.A.S.A.), The Mirror reports. So, how does the whole think work? Well, the kit AF1 has no rocket science involved in its making. A chip inside the AF1 ball and a sensor inside the jumper will be an end to the problem. Once the ball crosses over the jumper, the chip sets off a sensor, which apparently lights up a panel on the front.

Then you have the game rules which takes care of the remaining part. If the light flashes, the goal will be disallowed because the ball has scientifically proven to to have passed over the jumper, effectively hitting a post, thus fooling no one. "It's so accurate and easy to use. I feel honoured to have been able to test the first of its kind. I'll definitely have one of these for home the kids will love it," Giggs said.

Reebok's Germany-based sports marketing executive April Fuhle said: "This technology, which has been in development for 10 years, will change the face of kick abouts all over the world." Seems, the football fanatic has finally got some thing new, and different, to experiment with.
