Despite the ingrained corruption that emanates from the top, Sepp Blatter will undoubtedly win yet another term as FIFA president today. There are 209 member nations and each has one vote. Blatter plays this like a Chicago politician and ensures the votes of poorer nations with financial grants to their soccer associations which is greatly appreciated.
Blatter's only opponent is Jordan's Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein who needs 105 votes to unseat the corrupt incumbent. It won't happen. Chicago machine politics on an international scale.
Blatter was elected primarily by votes from countries where bribery, corruption, and fraud are simply the cost of doing business. And it will continue until everybody else decides enough is enough. Perhaps when the death toll in Qatar reaches 5,000 or so it might happen.
