        prince william has backed the football association and scottish football association stance that a fair election cannot take place following allegations of corruption.

        Blatter is the only candidate as his rival mohammed bin hammam is suspended.

        But the fa and sfa have struggled to find support for their proposals.

        Other associations from the united kingdom, including the football association of wales and irish football association, appear unwilling to back their neighbours.

        In order to suspend the elections on Wednesday, about 150 of the 208 nations must vote in support of the move, a scenario that FA chairman David Bernstein admitted was unlikely.

          Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

              I fear that this may not be the case. Most of the world probably don't see an issue as they come from places with a culture of corruption. Civility left these places when the British Empire crumbled.

                  I was going to say unbelievable. But it's FIFA, so it isn't.

                      Now that would be funny as ****. What would happen then? another vote?

                        i reckon blatter would sack everyone voting on the spot and replace them with people who would vote for him - if he struggles to find people to vote for him, he'll guarentee world cup final tickets and addidas tracksuits to sway them

                          It hasn't stopped me from calling for Blatter to resign.

                            Interesting titbits in the guardian blog.

                            To add to the corruption claims made so far, turns out the FIFA vice president Julio Grondona is an anti-Semite. The Fiji delegate was barred from practising law for corruption.

                              • 2003: Julio Grondona responds to a journalist's question about referee standards in Argentina by saying: "I do not believe a Jew can ever be a referee at this level. It's hard work and, you know, Jews don't like hard work." ("Julio's a monumental man!" says Sepp. "We are friends for ever.")

                                That would explain his attack on Triesman.

                                The only organisations that can do anything are the sponsors because they're the only outsiders with any power. If you really feel strongly, email the marketing director or MD of as many of them as you can. It takes remarkably few complaints to for companies like Adidas and Coke to get uncomfortable about damage to their brands.

                                But it might be too late.
