    Sorry if this doesn't belong here, but as it affects U.S. interests in soccer I'll proceed.

    Blatter today backed opposition to Malcolm Glazer's plans to take over ManU.

    I personally am against the buyout as well, but it seems to me that Blatter oversteps his bounds as FIFA president. This, the Rio Ferdinand affair, he made a comment about Mutu a couple of weeks ago, and his continued attempts to force teams to play in a World Club Championship. I'd like to see the last one, but right now it isn't feasible.

    I guess in a way I'm trolling, just griping about Blatter, but the man seems to interfere in everyone's business whether it really concerns him or not, and I'm tired of it.

    Can't stand him either. He acts as if the sport of football is his and his alone.

    This was totally out of line. None of his business to comment on the specific situation.
