Cheap technology alternative- fiberglass rod extensions like the bicycle flags were on in the 10 speed heyday.

This is similar to what I was thinking. Put a little screw-in slot in the top of each goal post, then screw in a 30-foot tall aluminum rod, or just have a 30-foot telescoping antenna, like a much longer version of what I used to have on my old portable TV. If the ball touches it at all, no good. Best part is, you could even check it on re-play--you wouldn't need to move the officials to under the goal posts, since the ball will be dead if it goes that far, anyways. The score is checked by an official who views it in a booth, like in ice hockey.

Sad thing is, you could probably get the district court of East Texas to uphold your complaint against a company if you patented it and they went and made it.
