FIFA has been under the microscope in the past 10 days as lab results expose imminent flaws within the now-rotten association.
FIFA has been a joke for the past 10 days with news after news coming in, exposing their flaws in comparison to school societies which are better managed to be frank. It has been an absolute mayhem in World Football and on a week that we got to see the beautiful side of football at Wembley, Sepp Blatter as co certainly provided the ugly side of it.
And he came up with a blatant statement during a bizarre press conference saying that football is not in a crisis. It is not? Perhaps if he can switch on the TV and radio’s to see what’s going on, then maybe he would understand that FIFA is undergoing serious problems and indeed it’s in a major crisis.
That moment when Lord Triesman revealed the high-profile bribery demands involving the likes of Jack Warner and Mohamed Hammam, we all knew it was going to be detrimental towards the image and reputation of FIFA on the global scene. But the best part of Blatter is that he has been blind to every single crisis faced by FIFA since he took over in 1998.
It is pretty excruciating to think that Blatter has been overseeing an institution tarnished by too much malpractice over the year with huge amounts money and cash being transmitted all around the world, increasing the already superior allegations on FIFA executives.
Frankly speaking, cracks have begin to formed inside the walls of an association or even foundation that has literally driven football into its darkest period ever when it comes to corruption.
With all these chaotic scenes going on, Blatter’s mere statement that “football is not in a crisis” simply sounds like the last words from a dictator losing his influence. However, he is now set to continue as president of FIFA after the English Football Association's attempt to delay the proceedings failed by 172 votes to 17.
While Blatter has appeared with heart-softening statements about getting FIFA back on the right track, it remains to be seen whether he can cope with all the pressure and focus surrounding the international football association.
He also pledged to hand voting decisions to every member nation after witnessing controversy tear apart the voting system for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids. Once again, only time will reflect on the success of those impeccable ideas.
In the meantime, a new change is definitely needed within the corrupted organization. The 24-men executives, nine of whom, at last count, are under suspicion of impropriety have to be treated with a proper judicial process.
I mean, Nicholas Nicolas Leoz's request of naming the FA Cup under his name in exchange for a vote is simply unthinkable. A change will not be easy and will be time-consuming. Nevertheless, what else can be the perfect decision to represent FIFA's motto: For the Good of the Game?
