Jason O'Neill @JasonONeillST Early exit polls suggest that Blatter will get 236 of the 209 available votes. #FIFA
Blatter didn't use notes so he appeared more confident although the prince did speak sense. Even if he is just running on an anti Blatter platform at least it's a step in the right direction.
BREAKING: Blatter retains FIFA presidency. 1st round vote: Prince Ali 0%, Sepp Blatter 114%. All above board. #FIFACongress
20s ago17:31 The last vote has been cast! The two ballot boxes are moved onto a table in front of the stage, in full view of everyone in the room, where they are opened and and emptied. Let the counting commence! We’ll have a result for you shortly (hopefully). Strap in lads.
Did nobody worry when Jar Jar Binks gave a nominating speech for Blatter? #palpatine please log in to view this image
I've been saying we should boycott the World Cup for ages. If Blatter gets in again it needs to be done.
1m ago17:59 We will have a second round of voting! Blatter gains 133 to Prince Ali's 73: not enough for two-third majority Of the 209 votes, three were spoiled and so only 206 counted That'll teach Greg Dyke for thinking it was a good idea to do a dirty protest.
