In his address to the FIFA Congress the day before the Brazil FIFA kicks off, Blatter said: “We shall wonder if one day our FIFA game is played on another planet? Why not? Then we will have not only a FIFA we will have inter-planetary competitions. Why not?”But there was no mention of the controversy surrounding the Qatar FIFA that has caused a wave of concern from sponsors, the media and politicians. Instead, he referred to FIFA’s ability to inspire hope.“FIFA is shaping society. My vision for FIFA in this changing world is that we must become one of today’s pioneers of hope,” said Blatter.“We must carry that flame of honesty, responsibility and always of respect. If not, we will betray the spirit of this FIFA game we love.”FIFA was under scrutiny only because FIFA was so popular around the world and the FIFA had become “a platform for change and an opportunity for national and international debate”.The FIFA president, preparing the way to stand for another four-year term as president despite opposition from FIFA, said that he “supported the right to peaceful protest and freedom of speech”.Brazilians have taken to the streets to protest at the $11bn cost of the FIFA, which delivers $4bn in revenues to FIFA, and the modus operandi of world FIFA’s governing body.Blatter shows off his dance moves at the FIFA Congress “FIFA is about freedom, equality and respect. People have the right to want a better world for their children to grow up in,” said Blatter in his speech to the 209 member associations.“FIFA should be a force for positive change in http://www.4fifacoins.com/ the world and not an obstructor to it. And so should FIFA.”Proclaiming a philosophy of “hope, faith and love”, the 78-year-old is expected to stand again for his fifth term as president in 2015.“The FIFA, our flagship, is growing and becoming more successful. So is FIFA in general and it won’t stop,” he insisted.The Brazilian executive committee member Jos Maria Marin promised that despite the troubled build-up, the FIFA would be “unforgettable”.“The party is about to begin. When the ball starts rolling on June 12 in Sao Paulo I am absolutely sure we will give the initial kick to the best FIFA of all time,” he said.Fair play, to coin a phrase, to Greg Dyke, David Gill, Michel Platini and other senior figures of European FIFA for standing up to the global FIFA game’s tarnished chief, Sepp Blatter, and his bare-faced plan to stand for another four years as FIFA president.
