    The fact that Blatter has been re-elected shows just how bad the corruption has gotten under him.

    He should resign immediately.

    Lets just hope UEFA and the others that spoke out against Blatter now have the cojones to actually take some damaging action against him and FIFA

    All the qualifying euro national associations for the next World Cup should send their under 16s to the tournament and have a proper tournament amongst themselves.
    Or let the minnows like the Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, San Marino and Scotland qualify.

    I guarantee Blatter will be arrested or called in for questioning by the FBI at some stage . There is absolutely no way he won't be.

    How two major events like this can happen within a matter of days is astonishing.

    Shame on all of those countries who voted for him - they are no better.

    If he had any shame, he would do a Robert Maxwell.

    It's probably a case of Blatter having more dirt on all the delegates who voted for him - the ones he has been helping out with mansions and luxury cars using money that should be for football purposes - money that has largely been provided by UEFA, those most against Blatter. It's an absolute farce. I really hope Platini follows through with his threat and leads UEFA to a new global footballing authority. There will need to be safeguards so nations run by corrupt despots with no footballing history don't have the same power as democratic nations that actually do care about the sport.

    Are we the only people that can see this for what it is. He either knew about it and was complicit, or didn't know about it and is therefore incompetent. There's absolutely no half way house here. You cannot be a ruler of a global organisation if you are either of the above. Today he chose incompetent.

    It's ok, he's going to clear up corruption.

    In other news, Hitler is going to try to sort out that nasty business with the Jews, and Tony Soprano is going to bring down that mafia thing.

    An extraordinary coincidence that the week Gary Lineker (of all people) hosts Have I got news for You, the main story is (genuinely) about football!

    Is the voting secret, or can we find out who voted for him?

    Seriously what's the fuss!! Football is far better now than ever before. Third world countries are prospering and the rich are getting richer. UEFA are just whinges.

    Self-preservation at its finest. When the ship is sinking you cling to the only guy who can launch the lifeboat, even though he's also the jerk who hit the reef .... and a sorry ship of fools it is too.

    It's just rotten to the core, the People arrested/questioned so far is just the tip of the iceberg (IMO), the only was they can save their sorry skins is by keeping Blatter in control but I do agree with Greg Dyke, Blatter is finished.

    I agree with you @Fiiish but Platini can't even control his own nation, as France voted for Blatter!
