Staggering that they still intend to proceed with the election on friday and say it will not affect the world cups in 2018 and 2022.

half the people at the top table will be missing. I would love to have seen their bloated faces when they were pulled from the top floor hotel suites at 7 a.m.

The man is very thick skinned and obstinate, so don't be surprised to see him survive and get re-elected.

Blatter has more lives than a teflon ***** (steady!!!).

FIFA are a disgrace, nothing will change. There is nobody to police them, they do what they want. Others will just step up into the gap and it'll carry on as before.

Dead right Ramondo nothing will change Blatter is a law unto himself. The problem is no one will stand up against him for some reason. He will be re elected on Friday, is there anyone standing against him? As he has already said, since the arrests the world cups in Russia and Quatar will go ahead, up yours. So he obviously could care less if it is proved, in a court of law, that corruption was involved.

Anyone with any moral fibre at all would resign now after these arrests to his collegues.

But as I said for some reason no one will stand against him and pull out of the world cups until he goes.
