Imagine a grown and aged FIFA President like Sepp Blatter openly expressing bias towards Messi. Imagine the following comments:

"He's a good man, he's very fast, he's not exuberant, he's playing well, he's dancing, he's a kind man, he's really good, he's a good boy. And that's what makes him so popular and naturally he will always get a lot of votes because he is this nice man, and he plays well and scores goals."

Good Man, Good Boy, Dancing, Nice Man, Not Exuberant. What have these got to do with Football that an umpire should be talking about them?

What nonsense... What kind of apology do you even need... What did he actually say to ronaldo that is so offensive?? That he spends more time in the salon So because he is the fifa president he can't say which player he prefers How is that bias Does he singlehandedly determine who would be the world best
I guess we wouldn't have needed an apology if he had said "one is obviously shorter than the other"...

Siddon there dey wait make blatter come kneel down beg ronaldo... Inadequate ko, unadequate ni

Aha, Obviously a Messi Fan!

But we won't make u FIFA Presido sha O!, Your own go TOO MUCH!

As an important iconic figure in d association, there are some tins to b left unsaid cos dey may latter b used against him.

Thou he has freedom to his personal opinion but hyping Messi for media and the whole soccer lovers against other contenders in the race of Ballon d'Or will not do any good to the association rather reduce the confidence and trust the public av for them in choosing the winner.
