Anyone got a link to the report proper? Or, failing that, a summary of it? I'd imagine it would make interesting reading.

Yeah, you realise this type of document would be fairly official and rather broad considering the 280 odd pages not exactly readily available...
This is as much a summary as you'll get for any article or piece on it

I do realise that it's rather broad, which is why I asked where I could find a summary. Given that the article posted is specifically about the All Whites - it's not really what I am looking for. I found it highly unlikely that it is the only article in the world regarding the report.

I'm not sure if you're trying to get your post count up or just trying to be obnoxious, but what exactly did your post contribute?

Simply stating that the document or summary of said document would be scarce if any, and the only reason you may see it is if the Football Federations decide to boast and feed out some of the info... More or less I was saying don't bother looking, if there is anything out there, Joffa will be on it! Lol, the dudes an article guru...

Don't be pathetic, post count? I am no kid who goes out to inflame and infect, get over it

Now read this.

FIFA considers getting rid of drawn games in next World Cup

A lot of football fans around the world thought that the introduction of three points for a win years ago would cut down on the number of draws, but that hasn’t exactly been the case. For instance, at the recent World Cup in South Africa 14 out of the 48 group games ended up in draws, which is about 30 per cent. In some cases, a draw was convenient for both teams, such as the game between Brazil and Portugal as it meant both teams advanced to the next round.

Playing for a draw won’t get you anywhere fast as New Zealand soon found out. They were the only unbeaten team in this summer’s World Cup as they drew all three games, but didn’t advance. Well, according to FIFA president, the usually inept Sepp Blatter, there has been talk of changing the format for the 2014 tournament in Brazil.

Blatter finally made some sense to soccer betting supporters when he said that too many teams play not to lose, instead of playing to win, and that negative way of thinking isn’t helping the sport at all, especially with fans who are sitting on the fence when it comes to football.

Blatter stated that teams playing for a draw usually produce boring games and FIFA is considering bringing back the golden goal extra time format or having penalty shootouts to decide tie games in the next World Cup 2014. The golden goal is basically a sudden-death format where the first goal in extra time wins the game.

At the moment, penalty kicks are used to decide World Cup games once the knockout stage begins, but they’re only used if the game is still level after a full 30 minutes of extra time are played. The golden goal rule was used for a brief time years ago, but FIFA scrapped it the 1990s.

However, Blatter now says the golden goal could be reintroduced at the World Cup during group matches, but he didn’t say if it would also be used in the knockout stages. However, it would be a bit ridiculous to have different overtime rules for the group and knockout games. But, this is FIFA we’re talking about, so nothing should come as a shock.
