Résumé ou Introduction
"Was it over the line?" – maybe one of the most import questions ever in England’s football history. Few if any goal has been discussed more often. At 2-2 in extra time in the 1966 final against West Germany, with eleven minutes of extra time gone, Geoff Hurst shot from fairly close in and the ball hit the underside of the cross bar, bounced down - apparently near the line - and was cleared. The referee awarded a goal after speaking to the linesman. Did the third goal cross the line? It is impossible to know for certain. The final whistle blew. England had won the World Cup at Wembley for the first time (EFL Reading, 2004). Obviously this decision of the referee brought the World cup to England .
In politics, where decision have to be made every time, there are sometimes situations of uncertainty. Not always can a decision be made from the comfortable situation that everything is 100 per cent clear and the foreseeable benefit can convince even the hardest doubter.
One of these situations for the United Kingdom nowadays is the question if they should join the EMU.
