Sepp Blatter should focus on putting a more technologically advanced game where he puts up goal line technology.
He said "But in the first few matches of the group stage in South Africa, we witnessed some teams that went out to avoid defeat, that were playing for a draw from the outset." To be fair, those teams played to win, and qualify and it was essential for them to get points during a draw. The games played out well, perhaps it has escaped your notice, dear Mr. Blatter, that the only times when it DID not do so well where during those times when blatant mishaps were MISSED by your referees. Why don't you focus on that instead?!
"We have to try to find a way to encourage free-flowing football in tournaments like the World Cup, with teams playing to win."-Blatter
They did play to win, I think it was obvious that they wanted it, who wouldn't? You see, the only hindrance to that is the way the game kept on stopping or being stopped by atrocious red and yellow cards for questionable faults, the missed goals and when your referees turned a blind eye to obvious penalties. WTH Blatter? This issue has been on the rise since those incidents but you keep skirting around them! You say you want to re-introduce the Golden Goal for free flowing football, I say you learn to priortize and get to a more pressing issue than that. get Goal Line technology, get any technology that would assist your referees in the game!
