Blatter

An open letter to Sepp Blatter

Dear Mr Blatter,

With respect to your position as president of Fifa, football's world governing body, I wish to express my anger at your refusal to introduce a simple piece of technology that would end the misery that has tainted this World Cup.

What happened at England's second-round match against Germany in Bloemfontein last night was a disgrace.

I was there, I paid $200 for my ticket, and I met countless other fans who felt the same.

When Germany went two goals up in the second half, it was going to take an extraordinary comeback for our beloved Three Lions to have any chance.

Yet you ensured I couldn't see that comeback.

Because I was in the toilets at the time.

Now wouldn't it have been so simple to install TV screens above each urinal, and on each cubicle door?

That way, after storming from my seat after Germany's second goal, I could have witnessed Matthew Upson's header immediately afterwards that made it 2-1.
