Blatter: FIFA not corrupt, England bad losers (AP 12/08/10)

FIFA's ethics court suspended two of Blatter's executive committee colleagues from taking part in last Thursday's balloting after a British newspaper alleged bribe-taking and vote-rigging.

Blatter then reminded FIFA voters immediately before polling about media "evils" during the World Cup campaign.

Within 24 hours of a humiliating rejection, officials from England's 2018 bid also accused several voters of breaking promises of support they gave to a lobbying team that included Prince William and Prime Minister David Cameron.

Blatter said he was surprised by the reaction in England, which he called "the motherland of fair play."

"Now some of them are proving to be bad losers themselves," he said. "I sense in some reactions a little bit of arrogance of the western, Christian kind."
...is that he thinks Western and Christian are pejorative.
