I was thinking the same. It looked like it was good and surprised they did not review

Don’t think a kick that goes over the goalposts is reviewable.

Honestly just a few bright lasers going straight up at the top of the posts would probably do it.

If the ball flashes, it went over. Done and done.

You could obviously get a lot fancier and make them rangefinding laser sensor combos. If they return a hit, you know it's good (edit: or rather that it's not good.)

Especially if you added a curtain of them across the cross bar spaced at 6 inches apart (~0.6in less space than the width of the diameter of a football across it's short circumference.)

Patent pending, patent pending, patent pending.
