Last year was -16.
The year before -4.
Ahead of Sunday’s closing in the ShopRite LPGA Classic lead Morgan Pressel at -7.

Anna Nordqvist and Pernilla Lindberg chased behind and the blue and yellow duo were one or two shots behind.
Lindberg took aim at stepping into his bubble and produce birdies.
The plan burst.
Direct.
It was a nightmare opening with two straight bogeys and a further blot on the scorecard before nine was over. And on the 11th hole came a double bogey.
When Bollnas Player tough day was over, she had harvested 77 strokes (+6) and plummeted to a shared 51st place with 215 (+2) in total.

She was not even second best Swedish. The place took Mary McBride care of after finishing the race nicely with a 67-round (-4). It gave a shared tenth place with 210 (-3).

Instead, it came to be about Anna Nordqvist.
Eskilstuna The star played in the lead ball with the home players Kelly Shon and Morgan Pressel.
After three holes had Pressel have extended its lead to two strokes.
Be Major winner about to snatch?
No.
On holes 6 and 7, she made bogey-double and suddenly turned the American competition to a sort of European Championship between Sweden and the Netherlands.
Christel Boeljon and Anna Nordqvist took turns to sit in the driver’s seat or shared the lead.
When the Swede made a bogey on hole 15 was both Anna and Christel in the state – 7 total.
But Nordqvist bounced back quickly.

16. Birdie Birdie 17.
Before closing the hole was Anna -9 total. Two strokes before Christel Boeljon and three former Morgan Pressel.

Nordqvist could even afford a bogey and still win by one stroke. Boeljon was alone in second.
69-round (-2) gave 205 strokes (-8) total and the profit is sörmländskans fifth on the US tour.
2009 she got her big break through majorn LPGA Championship and the season finale LPGA Tour Championship.
Last year she won the Honda LPGA Thailand and the Kia Classic.

Until this week’s contest had Nordqvist four top-10 placings this season.
Now Anna Nordqvist Annika Sorenstam companionship among segrarinnorna in ShopRite LPGA Classic.
After securing victory hugged Anna about her mother Maria.
It was the first time that mother Nordqvist in place saw the daughter win.
– I could not have given the mother a better gift than to spend the day with her. It is very special – she has been a great support when I have had it hard and she really pushed me in the right direction. I fought really hard out there today and can hardly believe it’s true that I’m sitting here with the trophy. I am speechless …, Anna says to the LPGA Tour.

The time between titles in 2009 and 2014 were tough.
Anna Nordqvist develops reasoning for the LPGA Tour:
– I try not to think so much about that period, but yes – there were some tough years where I was considering whether I would do something else. I lost my passion for the game. Therefore, I decided to make some changes in the team around them and the people has been a great help and a reason why I continued. And now … while these are … amazing. People may not be aware of the hard work that lies behind such a success and if you do not have the passion and heart in the right place, it’s tough. I’m glad I fought on, when you have been through depressions so it feels even better success.

Gais lift up the table – Göteborgs-Posten

Seven minutes. That was all that was required for Gais.

4-1 against Mjallby – and lift up the table!

There was otherwise no brilliant uploading Gais, which closely match starts dropped Linus Tornblad with an injured groin. But Petrit Zhubi came up the left side, despite a recognition of the hamstrings – and played just brilliant.

Full Gais was good – and the bottom team, exallsvenska Mjallby, had nothing to set against at Gamla Ullevi. It should, in other words, have been a couple of goals management already during the break.
But the guests from Listerlandet shocked when Gais not stepped on in defense. 0-1 on a long shot by Kwame Bonsu early in the second half – and the 2016 in the audience despaired in a few minutes.

Until Patrik Ingelsten got a feel for the network again, that is. Gais were the sharper team, found in the box, got space on the edges – and in four minutes turned the former Mjallby player himself on the game.
First 1-1 on a long shot which was ruled by a defender into the goal – and beyond a beautiful 2-1 Header Sandeep Mankoos perfect posts.
– I do not know what happened, says Ingelsten, which aims doubled seasonal target drive.

Three minutes later also did Gais goals corner – through giant Bjorn Andersson’s skull. Waiting – and decidedly, of course.
– It comes to the war on. We have found a game that works – and we have been working hard on some changes during the last two weeks. Now we do not 90 good minutes, but in any case 75 where we feel we are playing good football. It is a process. PO Ljungberg has begun to build a team, there have been players in and out – and now it begins to settle, said the match winner Patrik Ingelsten, who after the victory picked up their sons à la David Beckham on the pitch.
– They may only follow up if we win! Then it is better noises out there on the field, smiling Ingelsten.

It ended 4-1 – and a jump up to place ten in Superettan. Johan Lundgren completed the scoring after a pat-pat-LIR as more reminded about hockey than football.
After the match was part of the talk about the fight between Gais’s supporters and Mjällbys coach Hans Larsson. He wanted a cutting Petrit Zhubi to filming – and ended up in a fight with some spectators.

Then cheered Larsson demonstratively against Gais supporters at Mjällbys goal – and got his heel against the rest of the game. Even when the goals fell in for the home team …
– oh, I do not care what some idiots yelling, comments Larsson hard.
For the next Gais fight, away against Syrianska, Richard Ekunde back after its shutdown. If he fit in a winning team, ie.
– Haha! The important thing was that we picked three points, smiles center-back.

Hansson: Walmann knows what he’s talking about – Expressen

The Magical evening. Nah, now I was well a little sad.

Magic Tonight!

The winner of the Elite race in 2015 called Magic Tonight – Who the hell thought it?

A couple of weeks ago, he was not even a hot talking point for the Elite race. Now he is the winner of the world’s biggest sprint. Unlikely is the wrong word, but surprisingly fit well.

Orjan Kihlström is tricky.

The Sports Expressen very popular V75 podcast he had not so påställd current Magic Tonight.

Behind the gate of trying, he was the more tagged and sent properly. It was the key to victory. After victory in the trial, he had a 50 percent chance of track 1 in the final. No, I lied. When Kihlström involved in something in which chance plays starring role, he is always a big favorite. He would torska a fifty-fifty, there’s not on the map.

More than one winner of this year

However comprised map multiple winner of the Elite race. Stefan “Tarzan” Melander Nuncio for example. In the finals, he suspended the whole race through and still keep something highly unlikely to third place. Somewhere, I feel sorry for Lutfi Scamp Kolgjini . Color clique as the audience – and we in the media – absolutely love.

Again, make his horse, this time Mosaique Face , a fantastic race but segerdefilera before 26,000 people, he did not do .

To talk heroic losers might be one thing. The winner is the Magic Tonight. He is not the world’s best horse. He does have a coach in Roger Walmann who knows what he’s talking about. He has been talking up the horse in the spring and can sit back, grab a glass of champagne in a luxury restaurant – luxury is something Walmann like – along with Orjan Kihlström .

* * *

Roger has fostered many stars and have a little sassy style. It does not go home at all – which in itself would be strange if it did. Two months ago he sent jingles for both right and left in the Norwegian television. Something very few coaches would do. Most trainers are – at least decent friends – with each other.

Walmann not care like that. And now he is the winner of the Elite race. It’s not too bad.

is superior when it comes

The driver, Örjan Kihlström, is by far the best once it comes. Few – if any – can have such contact with the horse. Örjan know, virtually always, exactly how much forces present in the animal. He himself is the most and directs as if he was the conductor of a choir. It is amazing to see.

Last year he won the Prix dAmerique. 2003 he won the Elite race with From Above . In between, he has won everything there is to win on Swedish soil. And even in Europe and the US for that matter. The only thing you can miss by Örjan’s feelings and self-confidence.

Moved to tears

Or by the way: When the Maharajah was thanked by at Solvalla during Sunday and audience acclaimed him as the king he is able Orjan not hold back the tears and emotions. It says little about the track, the horse has sat at the super driver.

But: this text is not about Maharajah – it’s about Magic Tonight. Last year he lined up huge efforts over the short distance at this time of year.

Everything is easy in retrospect. But he was not a little forgotten !?

I have been skeptical that they can qualify for the Elite race. Two horses made it this year. What? Magic Tonight and Mosaique Face . Location on the duo? First and second place. Now I have to really think about. It is not the first time qualifying the horses going strong in the elite race. Nahar did it in 2013. It is simply to qualify for the Elite race and win. Actually a bit strange.

* * *

Next year I hope to see Billie de Montfort in the Elite race. A four year old mare I’m totally in love with. The impression the mare did – it gave the whole E-stands jaw-dropping.

Very special.

Because I thought the French victory in the elite race, I get the chat them up for next year …

Despite the miss – won the Elite race – Aftonbladet

Magic Tonight won the Elite race 2015th

Swedish Took star horse won a record level races – but was close to go there.

– I made a mistake in the last turn, but thankfully it was enough, says victorious driver Örjan Kihlström.

The Elite race in 2015 was unusually smooth and dramatically. Örjan Kihlström took easily the lead from the start with Magic Tonight and kept a steady and fast pace all the way. Mosaique Face ended early death. Nuncio got a disastrously bad race and hung in the third track all the way.

In the final stretch saw the Magic Tonight beaten out and Mosaique Face was about to relax victory grip. Then countered Magic Tonight and salvaged the win, worth three million. Mosaique Face was brilliant to second place, and the Nuncio was heroic to third place after having been suspended in the third track – around.

– It felt really good in the last turn, I felt like I was sitting on the deck and did not let go the Royal Fighter, but it was a miss, I relented a little. The stretch it was a little difficult to get started him again, but thankfully it was enough, says Örjan Kihlström.

It was the second time Örjan Kihlström won the Elite race. He has earlier won From Above.

– Elite race is something very special to win. I myself have been on e-stands. To stand here and get the win is cruel. Roger Walmann had dotted the mold perfectly to the horse, he felt 100 percent good today.

“Way too warm inside”

The coach Roger Walmann took his first victory in the Elite race after everything had sued perfectly in both the elimination and final.

– Fantastic fun, for me, for the horse, the owner Lennart, the attendant Victor and everyone involved, Jippie. I’m all warm inside, even happier than I look. Magic Tonight is a fantastic horse to work with.

He continues:

– I feel really good right now.

How long have you dreamed about this?

– It is only Stefan Hultman dreaming, I work for goals, hahaha …

Now it’s only criterion left to win, stop you?

– No, no, I love it here.

How do you celebrate?

– I’m very bad at celebrating immediately after, we’ll see later.

Magic Tonight owned by financier Lennart Ågren annually invests millions of dollars on his horse ownership. Now, he received hefty bonuses.

– It is quite incredible, this I have dreamed of as a horse owner, it’s magical.

The victory in Elitloppt was worth three million and the winning time was 1.10,1.

Sweden won a wet dress rehearsal against Holland – Expressen

Sweden did not impress against Holland.

But the national team must nevertheless brought a 2-1 victory from the World Cup dress rehearsal – a match that was marred by a åskavbrott.

Lotta Schelin and Kosovare Asllani did Sweden’s goals.

– I think that in the second half shows that it is we who decide on the plan, says Pia Sundhage in TV12.

Pia Sundhages national team won the World Cup dress rehearsal against Holland 2-1 after goals by kosovare asllani and Lotta Schelin.

But it was the Dutch hands who struck first. Swedish acquaintance Manon Melis struck on a return from Hedvig Lindahl in the 43rd minute and shaved the 1-0 goal.

Halftime score was forced Sweden in addition to replace Emma Berglund, who is thought of as starting center back together with Nilla Fischer during the World Cup. Berglund had problems with a thigh.

In the second half it was notorious måltjuven Lotta Schelin, who equalized for Sweden. In the 53 minute player she is free, won a motlägg with the Dutch goalkeeper Loes Guerts, and put safely into 1-1.

kosovare asllani then shot 2-1 through a strange shot that Guerts seemed to believe would go off target.

– It is typical Kosse. It may be a little annoyed at her, but as she hits, says Pia Sundhage in TV12.

Shortly after Asllanis goal broke the game because of a thunderstorm – and it took a good half hour before the players were back on the pitch, and the match could draw in time.

There were no more goals in the match. Next game for the national team’s World Cup premiere on June 8 against Nigeria.

– I think that in the second half shows that it is we who decide on the plan. We’ve talked about how important it is defending – in this game, slamming it and we have a team that wants to go into the rough. It is a good sign, said Sundhage.

TV4′s experts were not as happy as coach – but still gave praise to the team:

– I understand that she is merry, compared with how it looked in April. And I understand that she has to pump up the positive, it is her job, says Olof Lundh in TV12.

– I feel that it is heading in the right direction. But one must continue, particularly with defense game and to get to it fast clearance gap in depth, says Hanna Marklund.

Zlatan in the night: I remain in PSG – Aftonbladet

Historically quadruple with PSG.

When looking Zlatan Ibrahimovic forward to another season in France.

– Absolutely, I have a year left in Paris, said “Ibra” to Eurosport.

PSG went out of the Champions League with a bang after the 1-5 in the double encounter against Barcelona. But the club can proudly state that the 2014/15 season will go down as perhaps the most successful ever.

This after 1-0 in Saturday’s Cup final against Auexerre.

The victory means that the club will historic. No other team has won four domestic titles in a single season in French football.

– It can not get more magical! This is what I play for, this is what you want to achieve as a footballer. I will probably make what I made only after careers. Right now I just want to enjoy the moment and collect trophies, says Ibrahimovic to Eurosport after the game.

was speechless

The Swede was back after injury and had two golden modes to enroll the scoresheet. But both times – in the 32nd and 36th minutes – he was robbed of goalkeeper Donovan Léon.

Instead, Edinson Cavani stepped up and saved the capital team. In the 64 minutes he reached the top of Gregory van der Wiel’s cross and pressed into 1-0 with pan.

“One year remains”

After cuptriumfen got Zlatan Ibrahimovic – who surrounded by relocation rumors to Italian Milan – questions about its future. And the Swede states that he will fulfill his contract that extends over the next season.

– Absolutely, I have a year left in Paris. There is much talk in the media, but it is business as usual. I just laugh about it, says Zlatan.

Sweden’s plan: “We have started a little from zero” – Expressen

5 NOTIFICATION WE WANT TO GET TO HOLLAND

1) LINDAHL world class

A lot has happened with Hedvig Lindahl the past nine months. After long have been troubled by sore hips operated on her last fall. Since it was clear that 32-year-old would leave Kristianstad Chelsea. Now she is called by his coach in London for the English league’s best goalkeeper and national team comeback took place in the Algarve Cup in March. Lindahl radiates power and confidence, and it feels that she has taken a further step in his career. Sweden will go far in the World Cup may not be the mistakes of the previous championship again.

2) TO BACK line nailed – OR …?

In all probability consists of the Swedish back line of Elin Rubensson , Nilla Fisher , Emma Berglund and Lina Nilsson . But after training yesterday wanted Pia Sundhage does not give any definite answer to the eleven players who started against Holland, they are also pitted against Nigeria in the World Cup premiere. “The couple Centre Back to Dutch hands may not be the same when we go out against Nigeria,” said Sundhage. A statement that creates some concern – at least for us who follow this team from the sideline.

3) the players are comfortable with 4-4-2

Sweden went on a hefty punch in the face against Switzerland in early April, and the air went out of it by Pia Sundhage cherished new game system 4-1-3-2. It turned out that it was enough to capture the “one” Caroline Seger , so was the Swedes greatly uddlösa. Therefore, it is a return to the past 4-4-2, but to change so close to the World Cup may seem panicky. According to Lotta Schelin it is “a system we are able and confident.” Only now Sundhage does not once again begin experimenting.

4) Lisa Dahlkvist IS RIGHT PLAYER NEXT Caroline Seger

Hanna Folkesson now not even after Having torn the cruciate ligament, indications are that Lisa Dahlkvist takes place beside Caroline Seger on the inner midfield. Emilia Appelqvist and Linda Sembrant are similar players, but with far less experience in that position. The question is whether Dahlkvist withstand 90 minutes? She has not played a full match in the headlines during the season because of a troublesome hip.

5) that the interaction Schelin / Asllani SIT

Lotta Schelin won once again the French top scorer ( and the league) in Lyon, and Kosovare Asllanis Paris Saint-Germain took it all the way to the final of the Champions League. So there are two strikers as a player in the finest world elite – and who together make each other even better.

Asllani has many times demonstrated an almost telepathic ability to find Schelin with its plug.

The focus against Holland is much on defense game, but it is our “Blue and Yellow French women” that’ll come.

TORONTO. Mission: Bring defense game.

In tonight’s dress rehearsal against Holland comes to Sweden are tight – and we do not have one by clapping as against Switzerland and Denmark.

– We have started a little from zero and trained incredibly much. We make a good match, we significantly strengthened against Nigeria, says Caroline Seger.

90 pure gaming minutes to go to the World Cup opener against Nigeria June 8.

And against Holland, late in the evening Swedish time, should not the same thing happen in the last two internationals.

In the loss (1-3) against Switzerland on 5 April dressed Ramona Bachmann and her teammates fully by the Swedish team, and showed how vulnerable the Pia Sundhages 4-1-3-2 was when the “one” Caroline Seger was captured.

The panic was complete, and against Denmark three days later, Sweden was back in the proven and secure the 4-4-2, but in return fell three new balls in behind Hedvig Lindahl .

So six baklängesmål of 180 minutes.

Far from being approved as close to this year’s major goals for the Swedes.

“Important lie close “

Now it is required that it is out of defense misses and poorly thought-out decisions.

– It would be really nice if we played a good defense games, and is very compact together. It’s something we put great emphasis on in recent days. We want to get away from this match with a good feeling, says Caroline Seger.

– It is important that we are located close together. We midfield’ve talked a lot about yttermittfält area ( Therese Sjögran and Sofia Jakobsson ) must help the two central (Victory and Lisa Dahlkvist ) and come into the plan much more.

How important is it for you to just feel good when you go by plane?

– It is clear that the would be really nice. This means that self-confidence is strengthened for the meeting against Nigeria.

Beware of Melis

Dutch Ornamental, as in the World Cup playing in the same group as Canada, China and New Zealand, have many fast players – Gothenburg Manon Melis is an example – who are good one against one.

A challenge for the Swedish defense.

– It is good for us that we put in that kind of situations. We’ve talked a lot about how we should defend ourselves and now we know what we should do. We have a plan and that plan must all follow, whether you play in any other way in their home environment. We do so here and then all must follow that way, says Seger.

You have been criticized for lack of attitude – what of it now?

– Nobody’s here to play bad football or have a bad attitude. When a championship is approaching all want to maintain a high level and fight.

Sundhage want answers

Pia Sundhage explained already in connection with the first training on Canadian soil Sunday that Defense game would end up in the center, to “attack the game we take when we get closer to the World Cup.”

The national coach agrees with Victory in her reasoning.

– It would be very nice if we have a defense game, because we trained on just that. I can take it is one and the other personal mistake, but the players feel after 90 minutes that is how we must defend ourselves, explains Sundhage.

Certainly it is envisaged that Sweden possibly will face the Netherlands also in the morning in a sort of “låtsas- international” of 3×30 minutes for all World Cup players to get the air out.

But it is therefore tonight we’ll get answers on where the Swedes face the World Cup premiere on nine days.

Nyman had to lead sing at the park – Norrköping Newspapers

IFK Norrkoping has picked 19 of the last 21 points and hanging on the top of the battle. And there was really no question to Kalmar in the rain.

18-3 in the trades says a lot about how it looked.

– We could puncture the match in the first half. We should have a couple of goals, ‘said Christoffer Nyman as he sat at a table in the hallway and summed up the game.

It was he himself who set 2-0 behind Lars Cramer KFF target, which then became victory target.

And not least, it was IFK’s first goal against Curva Nordahl page.

After the match got Nyman go, lead singing along with the fans and award prizes.

– There were three of them who had tipped me to make the first goal. And in 65 minutes. Attendance was decisive, said Nyman.

What was it like to be allsångsledare?

– Really funny. Fun to be up there as well, haha.

Have there really been a curse?

– I have not thought so much about it. Well, it was mostly a matter of time before the goal would come.

What about the goal then?

– I came in from the edge and got a ball of Arnor (Traustason). I got it with me and got in a shot that slipped in by the keeper. Nice to put it.

Do you feel like a top team?

– I do not know. We’ve only played eleven rounds. But we have good self-esteem and it’s fun to play now. We have developed our own games from last year. Everyone wants the ball and takes runs for each other. It’s a hell of a gang who toil said Nyman before he went on to the next interview.

The scoring started already after 1.40 by Emir Kujovic, who thus have made the first goal in the last three matches. Christopher Telo hit a through ball to Nyman jumped over to a redundant Kujovic who rounded Cramer and rolled the ball into the open goal.

– Nice to get such a start. When you have confidence do the right things, said Kujovic when he came out of the locker room.

He has now reached eight goals and knows how most rolls on. For himself, the team and the interaction with Nyman on top.

– We complement each other and make it great.

And in the end you got to lose defensive line and help?

– Yes. We knew they would roll into balls. It was just to come first and clear. It is not so hard to be a central defender, joked Kujovic.

Sepp Blatter remains as FIFA president – Radio Sweden

The vote on who will become the next FIFA president has been followed with excitement, and just now it became clear that none of the candidates received two-thirds of the votes was required. But instead of a second round announced challenger Prince Ali that he jumps off. Thus seated Sepp Blatter remained as chairman of Fifa.

During the International Football Federation (FIFA) Congress in Zurich have first vote on who should become president just ended. In this vote was required two-thirds majority, which would mean 140 of 209 votes. In the first round, the favorite Sepp Blatter 133 votes, while challenger Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan had 73.

This meant that there would be a second round to elect a president. But shortly after the election results were compiled, announced Prince Ali his defection. Which means that Sepp Blatter will join his fifth term as Chairman of FIFA.

– The first feeling is a certain disappointing that there was a change of president as we liked. On the other hand, it is a clear indication where more than a third of FIFA’s member states had wanted to see another Fifa president. So somehow they still have to deal with this result and reflect and think about what the next step will be. Above all it’s about greater openness and transparency, it is primarily the part that is important for us, says Karl-Erik Nilsson, President of the Swedish Football Association.

There have been a few tumultuous days of the football world when seven senior football leaders were arrested in a luxury hotel of Swiss police in Zurich on Wednesday on suspicion of various forms of corruption and money laundering.

On behalf of the US authorities, the US Attorney Loretta Lynch in the lead, has a study been done to look at, among other things, the choice of South Africa to host men’s World Cup in 2010. Lynch also claimed that the corruption scandal has been going on for “more than two decades.”

Corruption is not just about the past World Championships . Swiss authorities began in the spring of an investigation, together with FIFA to explore how the choices of host countries for the World Cup 2018 (Russia) and 2022 (Qatar) agreed to.

When news of the corruption scandal came out was heard several voices, including from the European UEFA, who requested that Sepp Blatter should resign. Blatter himself is not suspected of any crime and everything has nevertheless indicated that Blatter could re-election, despite UEFA’s support for the challenger Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan and the last days detection of bribery and corruption scandals.

– Blatter usually get enough votes from Africa, Asia and South America, and with that he takes home the whole game again, says former UEFA chairman Lennart Johansson at the Swedish Radio.

It’s been a turbulent Fifa Congress and there were also other issues on the agenda. Among other things, had Palestine Football Association filed a motion to exclude Israel from FIFA. In a speech just prior to exercise voting announced, however, Jibril Rajoub, president of the Palestinian Football Association, that he let the proposal. This is because several representatives from other national federations asked him to withdraw the motion.

The drama around the Congress did not stop there, without going steadily throughout the day. At noon came the alarm about a bomb threat made against the Congress and the entire building was evacuated. And outside there were demonstrations, including the football World Cup in Qatar in 2022, and the large amounts of workers who died during construction of stadiums.

Blatter far the toughest battle – Göteborgs-Posten

The son of a poor factory worker became the world’s most powerful football leader.

79 years old looks Sepp Blatter his empire breach and fight today’s most important battle.

Paradoxically, the lackeys who lift him who can also become his case.

During the nearly 17 years as Sepp Blatter has been base for the international football association FIFA has his office, marked by headlines with words like scandal, bribery and corruption.

The suspicion that not everything has been right to have been many, while the evidence been few or non-existent.

And it is not because the questions have been missing – it rather depends on getting around him wanted to give the answers.

Even at this level, the ball is round and everyone involved knows that if it rolls the wrong, the consequences can be dire. Therefore, the trail concluded. Scratching me, so I protect you.

In several interviews, Sepp Blatter called Fifa family – understood that a family stays together.

As the head of the family, however, Blatter over the years seen to have sufficient distance to the family’s black sheep, a distance which, however, has been shrinking for the last days and nights of revelations.

Shit splashed also spotted him, a dirt difficult to remove before the world’s eyes opened wide.

And even though there are many who face today’s crucial choice requires Blatter’s resignation, it’s at least as many who believe that he is clinging to remain as it is something he has always been good at.

In an interview Sepp Blatter said that it is because he was born prematurely.

– That’s how I’m so did my fighting spirit, he explained.

Joseph Blatter was born on 10 March 1936 in the Swiss town of Visp with about 6000 inhabitants. He has described growing up with his three siblings as poor. His father worked on and off in a chemical factory, the family lived simply and crowded, way up in his teens, he shared the bed with one of his brothers.

Someone distress, it was never a question, has Sepp Blatter told . There was constantly a creativity to survive and make it through, he pulled himself including money by going around with a cart and sell fruit and vegetables.

Despite the tough times were the parents care to children would have generated. Son of Joseph trained as an economist, quickly made a career of the clock manufacturer Longines and soon became a name in the business.

In parallel there was Blatter’s interest in the sports, during a period he was General Secretary of the Swiss Ice Hockey Federation. But it was football that was. In 1975, 39 years filled, was Sepp Blatter in the FIFA family as technical director.

The rest is some kind of story that spans 40 years.

In 1981, Sepp Blatter, FIFA Secretary General , a mission that extended until June 8, 1998 when he was elected President after the fight against Swede Lennart Johansson. “Purchased votes,” said the latter, and emphasized once again its opposition against Blatter.

– We are two very different people when it comes to dealing with problems. He can be a good president if he follows the rules, but when he does not, he gets spanked. Then I’m not as nice anymore, explained the then UEFA base for Aftonbladet.

Blatter was of course not slow to respond:

– Lennart Johansson’s campaign against me was personal and based on jealousy , jealousy and hatred, he thought.

Blatter with his political and tactical fingertip been adept at exercising and keeping his office no one can take away from him. He is said to love the limelight, the luxury and their tailored suits and is said to be more afraid of the day when he no longer stands in the center, than he is to take the actual battle.

A day may come sooner than anyone of us know.
