"FIFA President Sepp Blatter stated that changes to the organization of the World Cup matches are being considered - teams would have to shoot a penalty shootout after a draw in the group stage match. According to him, this would reduce the desire of defensive teams to play for a draw. "If there is no clear winner after 90 minutes, we would immediately move on to a penalty shootout," Blatter told the German magazine "Focus." This way we would get rid of draws in the group stage." In addition, there is a possibility of reintroducing the "golden goal" rule during extra time. It was used in the 1998 World Cup, but disappeared four years later."
