He wants to make a rematch if the final in the world cup ends in a tie, instead of deciding it in penalties from now on.

thats a stupid decision..

[Suprah]

Sepp Blatter and his outrageous ideas

When you cant decide a game after 120 minutes then penalties seem the obvious choice you know, I am not against penalty kicks and to me such a thought is rather silly.

He's just saying that because he was so upset Italy won the world cup.

[ali_asghar]

I wouldnt mind. Penalties are kind of a dumb way to finish a hard fought game.

[Haj Mahmoud]

ide rather have the winner be based on whoich team is better rather than luck so i agree with Blatter

[CULOOCHE]

good idea

[Amin_]

I kinda agree with Blatter on this. Deciding the biggest sportevent with some luck-game is actually kinda ridiculous. The teams have fought for 7 games to be there, and their faith is being decided with some lucky penalty kicks.

I wouldn't organize a whole rematch tho, I'd just play on til someone scores. Eventually the better and most fit/in form team (that means the team that has worked the hardest) will win after those 120 minutes.

i say u just keep going, golden goal, but have like free subs after 120 mins

[Aryaan21]

Keep the penalties, its not luck, it depends on nerves and goalkeeping quality.

[Demis-11]

im sure there are members on this board who would make a better president than blatter, i disagree, penalties are part of the game, u cant overexhaust a player, after 120min its unhealthy and dangerous

I know what he means. although I like it the way it is right now, I see penalties as pure luck. especially when they decide finals.

but rematches are just a stupid idea. it would decrease the woth of a final greatly.

to me the only alternative to penalty kicks would be the sudden-death rule. just let them play as long as someone wins

[Shahin K]

if he's so against penalties he should't scratch Golden goal!

[PersianMadrid7]

when he says "rematch" he means 48 hours later in the same stadium.

I don't like Blatter, he's made alot of bad decisions and is obviously corrupt in some ways, but this idea is fair to the finalists I think.

So he wanted the 2006 World Cup final to be replayed on a Tuesday?
