1. Sepp Blatter publicly insults Ronaldo –
FIFA President Sepp Blatter is the most powerful person of football’s governing body, but sadly, he lacks the morals to suffice his role.
In an interview at the Oxford Union, Blatter was asked who does he like more – Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo; a question to which a simple ‘I cannot answer that’ would’ve done justice.

“The other one (Ronaldo) is something else. He is like a commander on the field of play. (Blatter then mock marches around the stage and receives a round of applause). This is the other side of football and it’s good to have commanders on the field.

I can’t say who is the best – there will be a contest again this year at the Ballon d’Or. I like both of them, but I prefer Messi.”
This was followed by two tweets by the Real Madrid star which portrayed his discontent over Blatter’s comments –
Blatter didn’t take much time and promptly replied to Ronaldo’s tweets –
With Ballon d’Or gala approaching us thick and fast, there’s no hiding for the FIFA President; Ronaldo has quite simply been the better player. With the former Manchester United man thinking of boycotting the ceremony, Sepp Blatter could be in for some serious embarrassment.
