Whilst we may not have acted as gracious losers it is rather hypocritical of Sepp Blatter to bandy such accusations when FIFA spat their dummy out when British journalists questioned their honesty and started changing votes or so we are led to believe.
   One telling phrase from the above article:

He added: "Football has become a political matter. Heads of state court me. Football has become a monster, but it's a positive monster."

Agreeing that football is a monster we will leave aside whether it is positive or not and focus on the "Heads of state court me". He has the cheek to accuse us of arrogance and then revel in the fact that princes, presidents and prime ministers are willing to play the sycophant to a sport administrator. Yes it's a positive monster for him as it makes him feel like King of the World: Bow down Oh humble Russia and Qatar before the one God who unites us all while I shower you with the riches you deserve to host a football tournament.
