For Brazil 2014. (probably)

Snoods will be banned this summer and 5 Officials for Euro 2012

Has Blatter had a brainstorm?

Nah! - he just knows he's got to come up with a few tricks because his position's under threat.

Too late for some, though..... see the 'over the line' call on this!!

Pretty much spot on. I really hope he doesn't stay on. Him and Platini at UEFA have been atrocious in my opinion, serious corruption going on behind the scenes at FIFA (Russia's bid may have won fairly but Qatar? seriously), and Platini has his head so far up the top teams in Europe that he is creating super Euro teams on his own. I have no doubt he would rather see Real or Barca in the final than Spurs, and has anyone seen the price of a standard (or cheapest as its more often known) ticket at the champions league final. £150 plus £30 per ticket admin! I paid £40 at Manchester in 2003!

an easy call on that one which took what? 5 seconds. Maybe 10 seconds tops. Although it might not make a huge difference in that game it could have been crucial to winning the league or survival. FIFA's argument is that they want grass roots football to be on a par with Professionally football. Now I don't know the last time Sep was down watching Sunday league footy but I'm pretty sure if he did most the time he wouldn't see 2 linesmen let alone 2 linesmen and um...2 goal area men (there must be a more catchy name for them) plus an additional person to babysit the managers. Its pretty hypocritical. Anyway good luck to Mohamed Bin Hammam.
