"there is always a winner at every other game"
I'm sure rugby fans, basketball fans, hockey fans etc would be surprised to learn that little fact.
Moron - well that's my opinion of him.

Which i believe Blatter brought up in that article saying he doesn't want video technology introduced, because football is all about referees mistakes apparently for him.

When they do come up with good subjects, they never develop them. We still don't see any technolgy for the refs for off the line clearences or penalty shouts and this has been going on for a couple of years now.

Im inclined to think it still does, to some extent. I think if the scores are tied at the end of 90 minutes, they play extra time for something like 5 minutes to see if there is a goal and thus a winner. Chris Powell explained this on Soccer AM near the start of the season after he left us for a MLS team, dont remember which.
As for Blatter, i think that is another daft idea, and is on par with his comments on womens football, which were ludicrous. I will be pleased if he is soon relieved of his duties of making a mess of football.

No-man should have this much power in the game of football - the power to change the basic idea of drawn games!

That's probably for the best. I swear he always opens his mouth before engaging his brain.
I had visions of things opposite to Foreman. Imagine you were four from bottom, last game of the season against Man Utd. You need at least a draw to guarantee not being relegated. Score early on and keep Utd out until, bham, Utd score in the 96th minute.(:D) It would be heartbreaking to then take this to penalties and lose.

Roll-on 2007!!!
Imagine a league season where only 3 points could be won or lost...
For teams at the top, the gap could be that-much-bigger. And the same applies to the teams struggling at the other end; with smaller, weaker squads unable and inexperienced to match 'The Best' when it comes down to the pressure of a final show-down after 90 minutes.
My God, I think I'd rather go and watch Cricket if this happens - there's certainly be life within each year- long game (or however stupidly-long they last...)!
The best idea they've had was to bring-in the 'Silver Goal' ruling. Yet, for another act of stupidity, they felt they needed to remove this and the Golden one from the rule-book altogether! :P

It would be a novelty for a while, then it would just get stale, and take away the excitement in important matches.
Eventually we'll have a game with no draws, quarters, cheerleaders (maybe not a bad thing), 6 points for a goal, 4 for a corner, 2 for a free-kick which will appeal to the Americans but nobody else.
Out of interest, how did he manages to get voted in for a 2nd term anyway?

The guy has totally lost the plot. Okay, it may make the game more exciting to watch with both teams trying hard for a win, but it would totally ruin the league.
What would happen if Arsenal were winning the Premiership with one game left knowing that a draw would clinch them the Premiership, only to find out that the match has to go to penalties and they end up losing the penalty shootout and losing the Premiership title.
It's crazy.
Leave the points system as it is now, look how exciting the Premiership looks with teams battling for 4th place.
