There is goal line technology:

This tells the referee if the ball is in or out. No referee goes against the assistance of VAR on these calls. VAR buzzes them and tells the ref if it’s a goal or not.
Human element is removed on these calls.
In football - if they implemented this, the ball would tell you if it crossed the line or not - and you would not need refs to look at 30 different camera angles to determine if it crossed or not.
The difference would be that they would need to be able to tell the system when the knee was down. So it’s a little difference when there is no “down by contact” component in soccer - if it’s in, it’s in, if it’s not, it’s not
