 FIFA's weekly e-magazine (PDF) contains a short feature on Sepp Blatter. Here are some choice quotes, skip to page 25 to read along: "When ’Seppli’ was born on 10 March 1936, FIFA had 56 member associations, including Switzerland and therefore also FC Visp. It was at that provincial club that Blatter began his football career, rising from youth player to feared top-flight striker, reportedly earning the nickname of ’the Uwe Seeler of Upper Valais’." "The ball may still be round but there have been numerous changes since the era of Sepp Herberger. Blatter travels a great deal more, visiting Samoa, the Cook Islands, Nepal, Dijibouti, Montserrat and Dominica. The laws of the game are obeyed by everyone, be they Zulus, Shiites, Muslims, Jews, Kurds, Creoles or any other race - and they are also, reluctantly, followed by Blatter’s numerous detractors. Football is a simple game that only becomes complicated once you attempt to explain the active and passive offside rules to your wife." "Blatter’s father refused to allow him to play ice hockey, claiming the game was too rough and Blatter later took that advice on board when President of FIFA: instead of using the coarse ice hockey term of ’sudden death’ to describe the deciding goal in extra time, Blatter opted for the more humane ’Golden Goal’." "Although Blatter possesses a remarkable natural stamina on his feet, in a similar way to the immovable Matterhorn, he was in favour of abolishing standing room only football for safety reasons" "Thanks to the World Cup and television deals, the football industry earns millions across the globe. Blatter was a living example of globalisation before it became an economic catchphrase."

TheBigAristotle posted:"Football is a simple game that only becomes complicated once you attempt to explain the active and passive offside rules to your wife." lol "The only thing Valais has still to produce is a Pope, unless you describe Blatter as a kind of football Pope." "The smart Valais native, a colonel in the Swiss army, multilingual, eloquent, quick-witted, savvy, jovial and by no means introverted, accomplished many feats that seemed impossible." "Blatter was a living example of globalisation before it became an economic catchphrase. Sometimes numbers can lie though: according to statisticians a man with his head in a sauna and his feet in a fridge would have an average body temperature." I didn't know FIFA had a weekly e-zine, but it loving owns.

Offside is offside. Calling it passive or active just adds a layer of complexity that's unnecessary imo

If this is the report I'm thinking of, when it was nearly complete FIFA decided that they didn't want to finish it and scrapped the project having spent millions.

The final decision is due in september I think which will apparently be made public, so no prizes for guessing how that will come out.
