Blatter's turf war

FIFA president Sepp Blatter says a decision will be taken in October which could see World Cup qualifying games played on artificial turf.

He made the statement as the Copa America drew to an end.

Said Blatter: “CONCACAF has been playing games on artificial pitches with a lot of success and without problems.
"Nowadays, artificial turf has practically the same structure as the natural variety."
