McDonalds and Coca Cola release statements wanting Blatter to step down immediately.

So have Visa and Budweiser.

So there's a sponsor revolt potentially in progress - what many have said would get SB out - and he's still staying put. At this rate its going to take something properly extreme to get him out before February, and I bet he still won't go then.

Which means John Oliver drank a Bud Light Lime in vain. For shame.

An assassination would do the trick.

... more than likely.

Guess we may have to settle for suspension, assuming they're actually bold enough to go through with the provisional ban.

Unusual triple post, but anyway....

FIFA have just suspended Blatter, Platini & Valcke for 90 days, subject to appeal.

Blatter:

In 2010, we had a discussion of the World Cup and then we went to a double decision. For the World Cups, it was agreed that we go to Russia because it's never been in Russia, eastern Europe, and for 2022, we go back to America. And so we will have the World Cup in the two biggest political powers.

And everything was good until the moment when [French president Nicolas] Sarkozy came in a meeting with the crown prince of Qatar, who is now the ruler of Qatar. And at a lunch afterwards with Mr Platini, he said it would be good to go to Qatar. And this has changed all pattern.

It would have been nice to tell the other countries who were spending millions on their bids that the World Cup was going to Russia and Qatar anyway. Unbelievable.

People "ITK" saying UEFA is well run; Platini probably been naive in his dealings with FIFA and Blatter.

This, it's good something is being done and the two corrupt bastards are getting banned but there's more of them at it. Plus why only 8 years, surely something like this actually could account for a jail sentence?

So after the second round of voting, Gianni Infantino surpassed the magical mark of 104 to be elected Fifa president. Here are the full results from the second round

Gianni Infantino - 115 votes
Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa - 88 votes
Prince Ali bin al-Hussein - 4 votes
Jerome Champagne - 0 votes

So rather than Michael Platini, we get Michael Platini's right hand man. And even then still, probably the least bad of all the candidates.
