STRICTER sanctions must come in and a new mentality fostered to end "brutal" tackling, a senior FIFA executive committee member said on Thursday.
Belgian Michel D'Hooghe, who is also chairman of FIFA's medical committee, said he knew of players who had intentionally gone out to injure their opponents and that world soccer's governing body should let everyone know this cannot continue. "I have made myself a compilation of hard tackles with dramatic consequences over the last two or three years in the most important competitions in the world," D'Hooghe said. "I do not dare to present it, it would take away your appetite. It is terrible. This must go out (of the game)."
