Referees usually prefer to remain anonymous when they are officiating big matches. That isn't always easy at major tournaments like this year's European Championship, where the spotlight tends to shine even brighter on the men in black and their decisions on the field. Any device meant to save refs from scorn would be a bonus for most, but UEFA and FIFA are against using goal-line technology to aid their officials.(AP Photo, File)
