He's held up in this "Fortress Fifa" stronghold, I think this is a UN job, I'm talking no-fly zone, night time bombing raids, the use of Apache helicopters and bunker busters hi tek bombs.Even then i doubt he would resign.Reminds you of someone else.
I think we need to kick every single one of them out then bring in former player from each country to work together let say for example and use 75 ex players who are retired and not coaching. and to keep corruption down everyone only get 250,000 a year max salary. This means no lawyers, no businessman, etc. Maybe Each country FA can have an election for ex player to stand on behalf of their country.Italy - Paulo MaldiniFrance - Zinezine ZidaneSpain - Fernando HierroEngland - David Beckham (When he hang up his boots)Portual - Luis FigoSweden - Henrik LarrssonArgentina - Diego MaradonaBrazil = PelePeru - Nobert SolanoScotland - Pat NevinWales - Dean Saundersetc

He told us more about the settlement between Randy and MON than he did about the current scandals facing FIFA.How many times did he use the phrase "football family"?It was comical. He really thinks he's the head of the mafia.

I see the FA want FIFA to postpone the election - and for an independent body to recommend improvements to the governance of the organisation. Given the FA's record did Bernstein manage to keep a straight face when he said this?
Comic genius Julio Grondona (Argentina) said:"But with the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left."

2.29pm: The Spanish chairman of the Fifa legal committee, Ángel María Villar Llona, has just received a rapturous applause after denouncing criticisms of Fifa and acclaiming President Blatter. "The problem of some comments in the paper came from some people who may have lost in the World Cup elections," fumed Villar Llona. "Well, we have certain professionals in information who are protected by the sacred right of information but are attacking head-on the rights of others - mainly the football leaders. It's enough. They associated us with crimes we have not committed, they insult, they attack our freedom. It's enough." He then demands that Blatter's greatness be acknowledged: "Let's talk about the main issues ... for the last 12 years this gentleman [gestures towards Blatter] has done them. He is a great president and I respect him."2.36pm: As if to retort to the Scandinavian call for an independent inquiry, Villar Llona scoffs at the notion of anyone from outside "the football family" helping to solve any problems Fifa may have. "You are fathers," he tells the delegates. "Would you let people from the outside into your family to sort out problems?"
