had quite literally changed the way we see the world.

one day, scientists would figure out how to put him back
together again.

the event. She revealed that she was apprehensive about

59. 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 Germany.
