FIFA president Sepp Blatter on Friday deflected blame from himself over recent corruption scandals that have undermined the governing body of world football as he called the elections for president of the organisation a “sideshow”. The 79-year-old Blatter recently announced what was interpreted as his resignation on June 2 and FIFA are set to hold an Executive Committee meeting on July 20 which will lay down the timetable to determine who will lead the body forward.
