Blatter is indeed a moron for saying that. It's akin to the ostrich burying its head in sand and hoping nobody'd see it. Seriously, that's a very narrow minded view which he has there.

I dont think it's ever gonna work. The english game didnt reach where it is today overnight. It took a lot of passion (from players, teams and the audience) to reach it's levels.

Instead of crying about it, they should be concentrating on what they did right and try to do it right themselves. It may not be instantaneous, but then nothing is.

Seriously, i don't even feel like reacting further to this stupidity. And he's supposed to head the beautiful game. What a beautiful thought, not!
