World Cup 2010 Blog: Sepp Speaks, England ‘Bad Losers’

The Blatherer has spoken, and he’s hurt. Deeply hurt.

Accusations that FIFA is corrupt are, he says, unfounded, despite their foundation. And the vitriol being spit from England is a shame for the ‘motherland of fairplay ideas’, whatever that means.

So as this high school drama production continues, he thinks the real problem is that England, at least some of those involved, are ‘bad losers’.

There will be no quarter given to FIFA next time they roll through London, that’s for damn sure. I smell a mutiny afoot.

His Seppness:

"To be honest, I was surprised by all the English complaining after the defeat. England, of all people, the motherland of fairplay ideas," Blatter told Swiss weekly magazine Weltwoche in an interview released ahead of publication on Thursday.

"Now some of them are showing themselves to be bad losers," he said. "You can't come afterwards and say so and so promised to vote for England. The results are known. The outcome came out clearly."

"I really sense in some reactions a bit of the arrogance of the western world of Christian background. Some simply can't bear it if others get a chance for a change," he said.

"What can be wrong if we start football in regions where this sport demonstrates a potential which goes far beyond sport?" he said.

This may or may not be the one case in his life that Sepp is right, if incomplete; nearly everyone involved with the 2018 & 2022 bids have been whining incessantly, not just England.

Of course….
