^^ heres a post from reddit (not sure how true it is)

In case people need to be reminded, Blatter was always against the Qatar World Cup bid and every time he opens his mouth about it it is to indirectly trash it. Qatar was basically a power play by Platini and his faction in the FIFA ExCo to get Qatar the cup in exchange for massive investments in European club football, as well as of course payoffs directly to the ExCo members. It was a slap in the face that Qatar got the bid over the desire of Blatter, similar to when Germany won the bid in 2006 over his favored South Africa. Last time Blatter basically got the FIFA Congress to pass a rotation system that would essentially shove the South African WC down the ExCo's throat. (Remember, the ExCo is a small 25 man committee, whereas the Congress is a 200+ member voting body.)

Now he's in a political battle versus Platini for control of FIFA with elections coming up. These comments are all meant to undermine Platini and his bid for FIFA presidency. Let's stop pretending Blatter is some all powerful dictator of FIFA. He's more like the marginally most powerful oligarch within an oligarchy.

Platini taking bribes from Qatar for investment in European club football? Sounds like Fair play to me:troll:

@Liu Kang I was watching that vid were Sirigu and Verratti were roasting Zlatan's French, was it that bad? These guys aren't even French and they're dikkheads about it so are French people even more OD? :lupe:
