FIFA Congress Meets to Decide President In Wake Of Corruption Scandal

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has opened the Congress that will decide on his fate, but faces increasing opposition in the wake of the corruption scandal.
Speaking before Blatter’s opening remarks, England FA chairman Greg Dyke told Sky Sports News that his country would support a boycott of the 2018 World Cup if other European nations agreed.
Dyke said: “There would be no point pulling England out if everyone else stays in. It would have no impact. It would just be forgotten.
“But if you could pull UEFA out, that might have an impact. If Blatter gets re-elected, then that should be discussed.
“I thought the evidence the Americans produced was devastating and I don’t think Blatter can survive that. He might survive this weekend but I don’t think he can survive in the long-term.
“During his period in charge, the level of corruption has been unacceptable. It’s just frightening.”
Inside the Congress, Blatter appealed for “Fair Play” but afterwards the hall was disrupted by two people reported to be Pro-Palestine protesters. Blatter called: “Security please!” and they were removed.
Palestine wants to hold a vote to expel Israel because of its treatment of Palestinian footballers.
