Blatter seems calm "not dancing in his office", but elections will go on

It has often been said it'd be the Americans and perhaps the FBI who brought down FIFA and perhaps that's what is starting to happen

Perhaps we're all jumping the gun of FIFA, let's not rule out the possibility of FIFA organization being run from a US prison.

Specific issues are money laundering and bank fraud and it relates to the awards of world cups and also TV deal

"Blatter is focused on the congress. The stress factor is higher today than it was yesterday but he is quite relaxed because he is not involved.

"He is not dancing in his office. He is just very calm, he is seeing what happens and is fully cooperative with everybody. He is not a really happy man today - saying 'oh wow, this is really cool' - but he knows this is the consequence of what we initiated. It's a surprise that it happened today but it's not a surprise that it happens."

Many football fans on Twitter have called for the allocation of World Cup 2018 and 2022 respectively to be reconsidered amid Swiss criminal proceedings, but Fifa is refusing to reconsider such a possibility despite the arrests.

"No," De Gregorio responded when asked the possibility of World Cup finals changing hands. "World Cup 2018 and 2022 will be played in Russia and Qatar.

"What do you expect from us? I mean, Russia and Qatar World Cups will be played. I won't go into speculation about what will happen after today."
