Europe in revolt as Blatter pushes on with Fifa vote

Football appears to be at a crossroads today as Sepp Blatter remains defiant in the face of a threatened revolution from Uefa as the shockwaves from Fifa’s “seismic” corruption scandal continued to rock the global game.

Uefa president Michel Platini declared “enough is enough” and in a face-to-face showdown demanded that Blatter quit — with the European countries set to mount further challenges to the Swiss’ authority if the 79-year-old wins today’s election against Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein.

Platini warned all options would be considered — and did not rule out a World Cup boycott — while sponsors turned up the heat on Blatter. Virgin chairman Richard Branson even called on companies to ditch their ties with the world governing body.
