Tuscan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 At least he has some credentials outside of sports. Three years outside sports in the corporate world isn't a lot, but to know he can be an important figure in a place where corruption *shouldn't* be part of the equation, hopefully speaks that this guy might not be part of the dirty boys club of FIFA Execs. Please inform if this is logical, or if he's yet another old guard boy being hand-picked for a spot to ensure the sentries stay in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently in Qatar there is 1 licenced liqour store, and consumption is tghtly controlled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ref Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Blatter announced that in Brazil 2014 there will be cameras on the goals to watch for the ball going over the line. The cameras will then send an audio signal to the referee that the ball has crossed the line. This new technology will avoid more referee and assistant referee errors and give justice to teams scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
