Well I think it will be a very fantastic decision, looking back at the partiality in officiating that the offside rule has caused. Sometimes, referees deliberate mistake excellent goals for offsides and offside goals for goals thereby causing chaos in the pitch of play.

If FIFA can just quickly implement the abolishment of offside rule in football, the game will become straight-forward in that whenever the leather is seen inside the goal post we can conclude it is a goal and there will not be two or other ways about it. It will build up defenders to be conscious of their position per time and there won't be partiality again in the game. Teams will play the game with confidence and caution and not win by cheating or bribing referees. And if any team bribes a referee and they can't put the leather in the net, that will be a summary and shameful loss unlike when the offside rule makes it possible to cheat.

For example, in the semi-final encounter of the 2008 African Cup of Nations - Nigeria Vs. Cote d'voire, Didier Drogba scored from an offside position and the referee pointed to the centre line indicating it was a goal. If the offside rule was not in place, everybody would have taken it to be an excellent goal. What I am saying is that the abolishment of the offside rule will prepare every team for a massive attacking and defensive game to convert all possible chances to goals from any position and also defend the game from all positions.

Conclusively, It is a good plan by Sepp Blatter. I advise he should also look into the penalty, red card and yellow card rules.[/color][/color]
