Sorry to have missed this delectable thread when it was still fresh! Blatter really is an old dog but one has to chuckle at his attempt to turn an otherwise respectable sport into subject matter for a Playstation Women's Beach Soccer video game...
On Brandi Chastain and the uproar, much has been written, but I never understood why people were being so hypocritical in expressing their shock (I'm referring to Americans mostly). In a sporting context, women in sports bras is quite normal. After a hot & sweaty game of soccer the first thing you want to do is take your shirt off, whether you are a man or a woman. And the stuff little kids wear on the streets these days makes all that hoopla with Chastain seem truly like oh so last century. I suppose that's progress.
I'm just glad I don't have to be blinfolded.
