I hope Blatter is amongst the arrested, now FBI please trawl his PC see if anything else pops up.
Reportedly he is not.They may need some of the others to sing first.
They know the game is up and will do all they can to make sure the man at the top takes most of the blame.
It's can-of-worms time, and just two days before Splatters reelection. What a strange coincidence.

Well, with half his cronies in the clink they'll surely have to postpone the election? I'd be surprised if UEFA at the very least don't put forward a vote of no confidence.
Blatter will postpone the election if the people arrested were going to vote for him that's for sure.looks like extradition is the FBI's prime aim
