Controversy equalizes fools and wise men - and the fools know it. Oliver Holmes
F IFA is no stranger to controversy! Everything they do ends up in controversy. Some years back they decided to find the "Best Player of the Century", hope none of you hasn't forgotten the controversy it created. FIFA's intention could not have been doubted, but the method they employed landed them in soup; that too in a matter which always was very controversial in footballing circles. Learning from their mistakes is something FIFA hates to do and seldom do. So they continued with their time-honoured fashion of creating one controversy after the other. The controversy surrounding Ballon d'Or is the latest in a series of unfortunate events (Check out the Odds on this year's Ballon d'Or winner at football coupons). Having the "King of Fools", Sepp Blatter at the helm helps in achieving the job faster. Now Sepp Blatter is no fool, he is just acting like one.
