That writer is in a bad mood.
Can't say I disagree with him though... some changes should be made.
And Blatter is a bit of a simpleton.

Blatter is a little more than a simpleton, he is an asshole, whom like much of the FIFA top brass are so openly corrupt it is laughable. I do beleive it is time for Blatter to go.
I do agree with the writer's comments.

^This whole idea of soccer being stuck in the dark ages was only re-enforced when yesterday it came out that no top players in england were willing to appear in an FA sponsored video against homophobia in football. They were afraid of being mocked by fans and fellow players.


Sad

The Toronto Sun is a terrible paper.

He actually took the time out to address that racist, ethnocentric Joey Clams?

The guy is a total cancer on MLS Talk...shouldn't have given him the glory, that's what other commentors are for.

Do you really think if Blatter goes FIFA will change the way they operate?

Guys ,FIFA is biggest and richest Sport association in the world,that machinery is not moving fast that's for sure.

Any decision made must take in consideration that there are many leagues around the world that can not implement that rule,one like electronic help,I would like to see how that would be implemented in every stadium around the world.

The way the soccer rules are it's what makes soccer only international universal game and personally I'm fine with that.

Last thing I want is damn commercials during the "official review" or "challenge" called by coach.

Sad indedd, but the fact that the FA have made the video in the first place is a sign of progress.

what's with tfc tv...brutal coverage.
it seems the only guys they interview are brennan and peterson.
the lack of info coming out of camp is a joke.

I have to agree with Denime, Blatter is just a part of this bureaucratic machine. Havelange was part of some very shady deals during his 20 years in power and his people still have influence around FIFA.

Bang on. Havelange was the man who made FIFA what it is. Blatter is his protege. If/when Blatter goes, someone like Jack Warner will likely take his place.

You think Blatter's a piece of work? You ain't seen nothing yet.

FA Video for Homophobia:

-If the players are scared to make a video why not use the fans instead.

RPB:

- Maybe TFC should make it known that they are anti-Homophobia that would put us and MLS over the BPL.:rolleyes:
