FIFA president Sepp Blatter insisted that "Football is not in a crisis, only some difficulties."

Although the 75-year-old man was peremptory in tone and even carrying kinda indignation when answered question about FIFA's current problems, it cannot cover the fact of mess in the organization.

On schedule, the 61st FIFA Congress was held yesterday, June 1, and the new FIFA president should be voted out on the meeting.

However, just days before the event, the only rival candidate for Blatter' re-election to emerge - Mohamed Bin Hammam, president of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) - pulled out having been suspended by Fifa's own ethics committee over allegations that financial incentives were offered to Caribbean Football Union members.

Fifa vice-president Jack Warner, himself also suspended on similar grounds, subsequently revealed an e-mail in which another high-ranking Fifa official, secretary general Jerome Valcke, suggested Bin Hammam had "bought" the 2022 World Cup finals for Qatar.

Sepp Blatter


Now Blatter has become the only candidate for the election, and his fourth term of presidency seems asure (actually, Blatter had won his another term of FIFA presidency on June 1st.). Since things have gone this far, world's focus has already not on the election any more, but the political conflicts and corruption behind the fascinating and pure football game itself.

In the rounds of battles between Blatter, Hammam and Warner, corrupt scandals were exposed one after another and involved many influential "Godfather-level tycoons" in FIFA, of course including the three leading actors.

In final, current president Sepp Blatter "won" the battles and was cleared to be innocent, while Hammam and Warner would face various charges, but world's public and medias figured out their own comments in minds - today's FIFA is just another name for corruption.

In return the fact of corruption and the unsatisfactory results, world's medias are starting an opinion war agains FIFA now:

The Sun --- It will be a shame if Blatter reelected as the FIFA president.

Daily Mail --- What a revue it would be if Blatter won his another presidency.

Mirrior puts a picture with wad that is claimed as the bribery money on its website to accuse FIFA's voilation of rights.

Frankfurter Rundschau compares FIFA to the "Mafia," and what happened in the organization is just like the real-time version of Godfather.

Facing with accusations, Blatter seems to be calm. He insists that any problems can be solved in-house and with him in charge.

"The Fifa ship is in troubled waters but this ship must be brought back on the right track," he added.

"I am the captain of the ship. It is therefore my duty and responsibility to see to it that we get back on track.

"Reforms will be made and not just touch-ups but radical decisions. We have made mistakes, but we will draw our conclusions.

"We have been hit and I personally have been slapped. I don't want that ever again.

"We must stop once and for all, all these ugly criticisms, allegations, insinuations of cheating left, right and centre."

NY Times published an article and says "unlike the International Olympic Committee, whose 100-plus delegates vote on important matters like the awarding of the Winter and Summer Games, FIFA’s power is concentrated in a 24-member executive committee, all of them men. "

"FIFA also can decertify any country’s soccer federation if it perceives interference from a national government. Critics say this leaves politicians reluctant to intervene, fearful of facing public wrath if a country’s soccer team is suddenly declared ineligible to compete. "

“I cannot think of any institution in the world that is more safely situated for this kind of corrupt behavior than FIFA,” said Andrei Markovits, a professor of political science at the University of Michigan who has written widely about soccer. “It is a closed society, a complete, literally perfect oligarchy. And it presides over a product that is completely independent of its actions. Even if these guys were child molesters and mass murderers, people aren’t going to stop watching soccer.”

Given such autonomy and lack of accountability within FIFA, Markovits said, “These officials would literally have to be inhuman and angels not to be corrupt.”

“Shy of that, these guys with total power can live on with merry corruption,” Markovits said.
