It's never too late to ease your conscience.
In office at the head of FIFA when the 2022 World Cup was awarded to Qatar, Sepp Blatter knows that his name will always be associated with this controversial edition of the World Cup.
In an interview published by the media of the Swiss group Tamedia, he said he “regrets” this attribution, which he no longer hesitates to call “error”.
"Football and the World Cup are too big for that […] I was responsible for it at the time as president of Fifa", added the former pundit of the highest football body. .
The failed gesture of peace
Sepp Blatter has another regret: having deprived the United States of the World Cup, four years after Russia.
An opportunity in the form of a symbol that presents itself very rarely.
“It would have been a gesture of peace if the two political adversaries had organized the World Cup one after the other”.
You had to think about it right away.
Because the course of history is irreversible.
