European: Another Blatter rant

Sepp Blatter wants to reduce the size of the premiership, ahead of the 2006 world cup. but says The FA dont want too

"We have said that all leagues have to adapt their calendar for 2005-06 so they play their last match on May 14," said Blatter to The Guardian.

"Only one national association says that is not possible - England, of course. Even while we're in the process of trying to find a solution, they just say it's impossible.

"With such an attitude you can never help the state of football. But I am still confident I will win this battle."
