FA ready to welcome FIFA president Sepp Blatter just months after World Cup vote snub
Posted Monday, March 28, 2011 by Dailymail
The FA are rolling out the red carpet for FIFA president Sepp Blatter less than four months after wanting nothing more to do with him over the England 2018 World Cup vote debacle.
Blatter and his entourage are being thrown a grand lunch by FA chairman David Bernstein at Wembley a week on Monday, when the discredited FIFA overlord will pitch for England’s vote to gain a fourth term of office.
