Sepp Blatter is an idiot

Sepp Blatter is an idiot

In a recent Australian television interview, Sepp Blatter, the president of FIFA, "apologized" to Australian fans for their last minute defeat to Italy at the World Cup.

"The Socceroos should have gone into the quarter-finals in place of Italy... you go into extra time and you are 11 against 10. But that is presumptuous."

Amazingly, this statement (which contradicts itself) has been picked up by many fans of the "Sheilaroos," who are now claiming that Australia would have won the World Cup if it wasnt for refereeing errors.

(Why does no one ever blame Lucas Neill for the Australian exit at the World Cup, why did he go to ground so early?)

Now FIFA have had to issue a statement clarifying Blatters comments, "The Italian team proved that, despite serious pressures at home, they stuck together as a team and delivered exceptional football... The Italian team proved that superior skills, team work and individual determination are the ingredients that lead to World Cup glory... With my statement I simply wanted to pay credit to the Socceroos as well because they played a great match and their lack of experience did not permit them to go to extra time."

At the World Cup itself Blatter criticized Valentin Ivanov, the referee of the Portugal-Holland match, saying "I think there could have been a yellow card for the referee."

A week later Blatter said he regretted his words and promised to officially apologize to Ivanov.

Blatter has been dogged by allegations of corruption and sexism whilst he has been FIFA president; currently he epitomizes everything that is bad about the modern game.

Following the Carling Cup games last week, Paul Merson, on a Sky phone-in, claimed that Manchester United should be worried about their young players who are not as good as the youth players at Arsenal. The program received an exceptional amount of feedback leaving Merson struggling for words.

Ironically, Merson in a recent interview with Four Four Two (not online) commented that "Ill hopefully be doing a lot more TV work � I love it. It�s better than having 3,000 fans behind you calling you a w****r, like you do as a manager".

Former France great Youri Djorkaeff has retired, he said the World Cup in 1998 win was his biggest achievement, "There was something magical about the team."

Probably the best goal he scored in his career can be seen here.
