In connection with US corruption charges, breaking news on BBC.
More details to follow apparently
More news on NY Times website.
Arrests have been made of several on FIFA Executive committee.
Eduard Li of Costa Rica is one.
Others implicated though not necessarily arrested include Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands, Eduardo Figueredo from Uruguay and Jack Warner of Trinidad and Tobago.
Blatter seemingly not involved at this stage,but should make Friday's election interesting

About time.
It will only take one of that mob to crack...then its an orange suit for the main man
Blatter will be untouched and is probably behind it. Would anyone put it past him?
Hopefully this puts an end to the world cup in Qatar too!
Once the American courts are involved they won't be able to buy their way out of this one. Gotcha !!!
Hopefully, this will be the start of the end for FIFA. Football needs to be knocked down a peg or ten, hopefully this will be the start.
*Shocker*
Football is corrupt? Who knew?
After the initial annoyance of the Qatar world cup the idea of a winter world cup is growing on me, added to that the league will have to be extended so likely we'll get to watch football over here in the warmer weather a bit more.
I'm so glad Wales have been boycotting FIFA all these years by refusing to qualify for their tournaments.
That'll teach them.
Last year Blatter said he was saddened that people were accusing FIFA of fixing the Qatar vote. He blamed it on discrimination and racism that people would even question it.
The man is probably one of the most hated people on the planet and where is he right now?
He's had a really chesty cough and is having problems with catarrh.
There doesn't seem to be any surprise with this news
That's pretty good. I'd say he's just a massive bell end.Last year Blatter said he was saddened that people were accusing FIFA of fixing the Qatar vote. He blamed it on discrimination and racism that people would even question it.
James B Comey (investigator FBI) - funny name for a cop!
BBC asked US Attorney General Loretta Lynch if Sepp Blatter had been cleared.
She said she would limit her remarks to those who had been charged and refused to comment.
Does the Pope sh!t in the woods?
It would be more surprising if these few are the only corrupt ones.
Seems that some people have been saying that FIFA corruption was football's worse kept secret.
Well I never!!
