Does this man even understand football?

Sepp Blatter has done it again. This time he has suggested that draws should be eradicated from football (that's soccer people). First it was the introduction of hotpants for women (That wasn't quite what I envisaged when he famously said: "The future of football is feminine.") now it's getting rid of one of the most noble aspects of the great game, the hard fought point. A point for a struggler against a top team is a good result. Something to be celebrated. An equalising goal in the last seconds against your local rivals can be almost as sweet as a six-nil thrashing. The bastards think they have the game won and then their three points is slashed to one! The excitement of it all! Draws to stay! That goes for the NRL too - get rid of the golden point and we'd all be happy.
