FIFA's world governing body has cleared president Sepp Blatter of bribery allegations, allowing him to run for the presidency unopposed later this week. FIFA did move on two executive members. Head of Asian football, Mohammed bin Hammam, and FIFA vice-president, Jack Warner, have both been suspended pending a full inquiry into bribery claims.
But not everyone is happy with the outcome, with some calling for a mass walk-out of football nations from FIFA. Others have labelled the governing body a 'bunch of geriatrics in Switzerland'.
