...5 red cards for Sepp Blatter..
(An open letter to the FIFA)
Mr Blatter, I herewith show you four (5) red cards for being unable to run an organisation that obviously has become too big for you and too corrupt for the world stage.
You have turned the world game into a crying game.
For that you should be
from further managerial activities involving the former beautiful game.
This is my 15th world cup. I am old enough to remember the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland. I have watched as many games as possible and enjoyed most of them...
Then came South Africa.
One red card for allowing those trumpets
Due to the incredibly enoying noise made by thousands of plastic trumpets I can only watch a game when the TV is on mute. I refuse to put up with this kind of noise-pollution called "support for the teams". As a matter the trumpets kill any form of support. The trumpet-generated noise is so deafening that it silences the real supporters of a team. Everything that makes a good football game is missing: there are no battle cries, no songs, no whistles, no boos, no cheers... Which team is being supported by the trumpets remains unclear since the noise is a constant one - regardless which fan-block is happily leading or in desperate need of a moral boost through vocal support. There is no atmosphere, no character. The games have lost their individuality due to those idiotic trumpets.
No-one can tell me that this perma-stress causing noise level does not impact on the performance of players and referees and their assistents.
Why these trumpets were not after the first round, after the first hundred thousand complaints - only you, Mr Blatter and the mighty FIFA will know...
Second card for not streamlining your referees
Consistancy? No, absolutely not.
Instead there are discusting discrepancies between decisions.
Player are beeing send off for ridiculous rubbish (Kaka, Klose, Kewell, Cahill) while others get away toll free for worse tackles or truly deliberate hand-play. Thus the outcome of games is being manipulated by unjustified penalties and real penalties that are not awarded, by players and players that are scared to tackle due to yellow cards.
The fact that soccer is a contact sport has been long forgotten by the do-gooders and cotton-ballers domineering the FIFA.
Why the FIFA (again) fails to streamline her referees will remain Mr Blatter's well kept secret ...
Third card for fiddeling around
The more players have received a yellow card the easier manipulations become. Plenty of yellow cards make sure that players could miss the next game - should there be need for that. A false move, a bit of acting by an opposing player and you are out, fined and for perhaps the most important game in your life. In 2002 the World-Cup was held in South Korea/Japan. During this tournament Spain and Italy were literally sacrificed by the FIFA in favour of South Korea. There were rumors that the FIFA wanted to show the world that little countries can make it to the semi-finals which was supposed to be a global boost for the world game. Especially Italy was hard done by and furiously complained to the FIFA. FIFA owed Italy a favour. In 2006 - in the last minute before penalty-shoot-out - FIFA made it up to the Italians by rewarding them an unjust penalty against a surprisingly well performing Australia.
What we are witnessing in Africa is not unlike 2002. The African nations are meant to do well. Just look at Kaka's red card against the Ivory coast. Does anyone believe an African player would have been red-carded for absolutely doing nothing at all? Or Harry Kewells red-card-offence against Ghana. The Ghanese striker blew the ball towards the goal and hit Harry between the chest and the upper arm. There was nothing one could have done - bad luck for the African nation. Something like that happens many times during a football-season and is not an offence.
Why are ther no 10 or 20 minute-bans on the sinner's bench as in ice-hockey for example. Why is forever the most important tournament in the world rigged - because of minor offences like talking back to referees, ordinary tackles, wrong off-side, penalty and hand-ball decisions, Mr Blatter? The referees could watch the replays on their mobile telephones... - and come to fair conclusions.
With all this humbug going on the best team will never become champion.
The fourth red card for the balls
New balls should be introduced half a year before the cup and not just before. Shouldn't players have time to get used to new fabrics and new ball- behaviours. Why is the world cup tournament the stage for experimentation? Who does the thinking in the FIFA? It must be you, mr Blatter.
And the last red card is for corrupting the media
Why "SOCCER" is not allowed to make use of Video recordings - as Tennis and Rugby for example ... that too is another one of your secrets, Mr Blatter. However, the answer to FIFA's blatant denial of TV-evidence in these digital times can only be - the lack of manipulative possibilities involved as a result. Everyone on the planet knows the truth - exept the one person acting as the judge....?!! Not Kaka but the Ivorian mimik would have been send off had the referee seen the replay. Hey Sepp, you gotta be kidding the world!! Ask the Irish and Thiery Henry! Obviously the "world game" is less about fairness and more about control. "Too much money is involved", say I and many others. "Rubbish" say you, Sepp Blatter, and your self- rigtheous boy's club called FIFA.
Evidence for the media being used by the FIFA to cover up wrong-doings can be watched daily on TV.
I give you an example, Mr Blatter, just in case you didn't watch the news: Harry Kewell's red card offence was here in Australia first called "unjustified", then "controversial" and then miraculously renamed as "deliberate hand ball". The picture that went with the comment shown a ball in front of Harry's lower arm, as if that was were the ball had hit the arm when in deed that picture must have shown the ball several meters before it touched the unlucky player. And the sports reporters somehow seem to avoid getting stuck into the red card offence - instead they numb people's brains with empty phrases like "there is still
a chance" or praise "the Aussie spirit". It is always the same...!
Well covered up, Mr Blatter. Is it to keep the fans in unfairly treated countries happy? For example: keep Aussies interested in soccer? Aussies have a fine sense for being screwed, you know. I assume more kids will take up Rugby again after South Africa...
Sincerely
Not exactly a fan of yours
PS: As far as I am concerned: I ban myself from the world game. You can take your trumpets, your refs and the non-important replays on the telly and stick'em where the sun don't shine.
