Brazil's 2014 football World Cup will use technology to prevent "phantom goals" making it onto the score sheet, FIFA president Sepp Blatter said in comments published on Monday.

"Brazil 2014 will have technology to avoid phantom goals," non-goals that get awarded in error, the head of world football's governing body was quoted as saying by Spanish sports newspaper El Mundo Deportivo.

FIFA "has two good systems that meet all the demands we set: reliability, immediacy and not being difficult to use," he added, in a brief online extract of the interview which is published in full on Tuesday.
