Grant Wahl, the new FIFA Prez?

Nordecke · February 17, 2011

Grant Wahl is seriously going to run against Sepp for his seat..

After careful consideration, I have an announcement to make: I'm running for the presidency of FIFA in the election to be held on June 1. And no, I'm not kidding. Have you seen who else is running? That's right: Sepp Blatter, the 74-year-old Swiss strongman atop the world's most popular sport, is campaigning for his fourth term. Blatter's most prominent rival, Qatar's Mohamed Bin Hammam, may run as well, but he's just another FIFA insider in an election that desperately needs an outsider.

I hope he does.

Parallels between Sepp Blatter and Mubarak.

And look what happened there.

Plus Blatter is corrupt.

I like what he say's here:

So, yeah, that Nobel Peace Prize that Blatter has been angling for may not be on its way. Me, I don't need any *Nobels, but as FIFA president I'll push for the changes Blatter has been unwilling to endorse. Instant replay? I'll make sure there's a video-review process for close calls on the goal line. (Remember Frank Lampard's *unawarded World Cup goal for England last summer?) Referees? I'll make sure the World Cup has the best whistle-*blowers -- with no limits per country -- and require them to meet with pool reporters after every game to explain controversial calls. Stupid yellow cards? I'll make sure players no longer see yellow for removing their jerseys after scoring a goal. Think about it: Spain's Andrés Iniesta got the same punishment for celebrating the game-winning goal in the World Cup final that Dutch thug Nigel de Jong received for karate kicking an opponent in the chest.
