Nice rolling coverage here in the Telegraph of the ongoing FIFA epic relating to Morocco winning the vote for the 2010 World Cup: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/fifa/11657595/Fifa-corruption-Morocco-2010-World-Cup-vote-live.html There's an allegation reported here http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/7/fifa-email-connects-sepp-blatter-to-10m-newspaper-/ that Blatter was aware of the alleged bribe for South Africa to host that competition. I'm of the opinion that Blatter only resigned because this was never going to blow over, and he was always going to be in the spotlight over the term of his tenure. He couldn't get elected then as usual slam the doors on the world and do whatever he has been doing behind closed doors.

Political Fraility, seeing as how he's out of prison now.
