Eye of the storm: Sepp Blatter embraces FIFA member Tokyo Sexwhale

'We are in a game, and at the end of the game, we shake hands, and this can happen. On the field of play sometimes you say something that is not very correct, but then at the end of the game you have the next game where you can behave better.'

To a reporter from Al-Jazeera he simply compounded the situation.

'During a match you may say something to somebody who is not exactly looking like you,' he said. 'But at the end... it's forgotten.'

Blatter first tried to repair the  damage on his official Twitter page, without much success.
