Boring Boring Blatter

Sepp Blatter is to football what Adolf Hitler was to world peace. He is a boring old cunt interested only in greed, power and money. His ideas on seedings are total nonsense and destroy football as a spectacle. Seeding only servs to perpetuate dynasties of footballing dominence and gives little chance to emerging nations to taste the sweet flavour of victory in major championships. The draw for the World Cup 2010 is the most boring I have ever witnessed. Just look at it, every group is totally predictable, there are no surprises whatsoever.
Compare this to the draw for the 3rd round of the FA Cup. A much smaller competition in terms of stature yet it is revered around the word as the greatest cup competition on earth. And why? Because its got an open random draw. Anyone can be drawn against anyone, no club is out whinging like the French were cos they didn't get seeded. The draw is made and the teams just get on with it.
How fantastic is it for a small non-league club to get drawn away to one of the major superclubs like Manyoo or liverpool, and even more fantastic if they come away with a draw or even a win.
Yo cannot buy that type of possibility, you cannot manufacture it, it is just there, its called chance, and chance is such a big part of the game of football, to take chance out of the equation is to choke the life blood out of the world cup competition. Is it any wonder the Cup never travels outside of the the few nations that have already managed to win it. True, France did win it for the first time in 1998, but they got such a helping hand along the way in terms of seedings and also being hosts.

Anyway, talk on the interweb lately has centered on the idea of scrapping seedings altogether and simply having an open random draw when it comes to the final 32. Maybe it should be open all the way, the purist would say so. To help with this idea i have dvised a simple little webpage the carries out a random draw for the 2010 world cup. The results are staggering, the possibilities endless and it is my personal belief theat this would be a much fairer way of deciding who plays who in the world cup finals of 2010 and future world cups.
If the fallout from the Theirry Henry handgoal incident has taught the world anything it is that seeding teams (the original sin) only results in misery and acrimony for real fans of football all over the world while lining the pockets of already mage-rich multinational companies like coca-cola and addidas who really couldn't care less who wins the world cup as long as it means extra profits for themselves.
