What an unbelievable ____hole.

My translation:
Sepp Blatter, FIFA president, talked about using video replay on RMC radio. He still doesn't want it and asks the French to stop whining.
On RMC radio, FIFA president Sepp Blatter talked about using video replay. He repeated he was not in favor of using this method . "To stop the game, I don't think that's the ideal solution."
However, he was in favor of "the chip in the ball to tell if the ball has crossed the goal line." A solution already tested in September by FIFA in the under 17 championshop in Peru, but that according to him is "still not 100% ready." "We will introduce it this fall," he added without going into details.
Finally, he talked about the refused goal that France scored on Vieira's header against South Korea Sunday night: "This game is based on human error, everyone makes mistakes. Since video replay isn't used for this World Cup, there's nothing left to do but to accept a decision or non-decision by the referee. France whines, but when you dominate in such a manner the first half, you're not allowed to let this game fall into the hands of your opponent. This should be said and you shouldn't look for errors in a referee or an assistant referee. There's a country that can be frustrated and that still must go home: Cote d'Ivoire who had a penalty shot stolen from them.
What's funny is that what the FIFA President is saying would actually be considered flaming on these forums.
