BLATTER WANTS PENALTY SHOOT-OUTS DROPPED
-
Sepp Blatter has declared that World Cup finals should no longer be decided by penalty shoot-outs.
The FIFA President described this summer's shoot-out which saw Italy crowned World Cup victors over France as a "tragedy" and indicated that, in future, drawn finals would be replayed.
"When it comes to the World Cup final it is passion, and when it goes to extra time it is a drama. But when it comes to penalty kicks it is a tragedy. Football is a team sport and penalties is not a team, it is the individual," Blatter told a Swiss Chamber of Commerce event in Zurich.
Blatter also suggested that deducting players from both teams in extra-team would be a superior alternative to penalty shoot-outs.
"Maybe to replay the match if it's the final, you can't do that through the tournament because of lack of time. Maybe to take players away and play golden goal." -
