In general, I'm really starting to think that Blatter should resign. His ideas are no better than a 10 year old at best and he's getting paid to say it. Which is just sad.

On the issue at hand. Its daft. 9 times out of 10, these types of injuries are without malice and intent. How is a court going to determine whether a tackle was intentional?

Specifically regarding the Eduardo injury, since this is what Blatter is rambling on about. The injury was severe, Taylor stated it was without malice and you could tell right after the injury that his reactions backed up his words.

I feel terrible for Eduardo and I really hope that he has a speedy recovery and continues his footballing at a high level.

I'm thinking severe fines and lengthy bans. As long as footballers are reminded that there living might be reduced if they intentionally go out and try to injure other players. That will be more than enough.

How about a wages transfer? If you injure a player and it is deemed intentional. From the time the player is out with the injury until the time the player returns. The offending player has to pay out 60% of there weekly wages.
