Blatter rules out introduction of ‘penalty goals’

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has rejected any possibility of ‘penalty goals’ being brought in following Luis Suarez’s handball that denied Ghana a World Cup semi-final place.

Blatter did say however that any law changes being considered as a result of the Uruguay striker’s actions would be discussed at the International FA Board in October.

Apart from ‘penalty goals’ there have also been calls for tougher disciplinary action for deliberate handballs.
