I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football - the fans, the players, the clubs, the people who live, breathe and love football.
Sepp BlatterWhat I am most proud of is the legacy of hope that FIFA and football leaves around the world. It makes all of the efforts and energy I pour into this job worth it.
Sepp BlatterWe cannot allow the reputation of football and FIFA to be dragged through the mud any longer.
Sepp BlatterI think it is high time that Europe starts to understand that we do not rule the world anymore, and that some former European imperial powers can no longer impress their will on to others in far away places, and we must accept that football has moved away from being a European and South American sport: it has become the World Sport that billions of fans are excitedly following every week, everywhere in the world.
Sepp BlatterWhy is it good for football to take the excitement away from fans by overcharging them for tickets to see their team?
Sepp BlatterLet the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball. They could, for example, have tighter shorts. Female players are pretty, if you excuse me for saying so, and they already have some different rules to men - such as playing with a lighter ball. That decision was taken to create a more female aesthetic, so why not do it in fashion?
