Who had Tuesday in the sweep?

I love this:

Blatter told Swiss TV on Friday: “Why would I step down? That would mean I recognise that I did wrong."

I suspect its to do with the allegations today to do with South Africa and Blatter denying it then the AP producing a letter stating that they did receive 10m from SA

There's also been rumours of a break-in. Alledgedly they've stolen the winners of the next two world cups.

Resignation swiftly followed by the news that he is now under investigation also.

Not surprising. The journalist who's been pursuing this for ages tweeted the other day that the FBI had acted on documents and information he'd supplied, and that others, "including Blatter", were also in the firing line. TBH, I'd expected Blatter to be arrogant enough to stay until he was actually arrested, but after reading that it seemed clear that he certainly will be before too long.

Next up: F1?

I am sure that Blatter's nephew will keep the hospitality contract from FIFA worth millions as it was nothing to do with his uncle that this contract was awarded.

Generally I hate the American justice system for its overseas reach. However I hope that Blatter is extradited. Preferably to Guantanamo Bay.
