Blatter under fresh fire ahead of FIFA meeting

From corruption investigations in the United States and Switzerland to the sudden suspension of his right-hand man, FIFA Chief, Sepp Blatter can expect a barrage of questions when he faces the media today.
Blatter’s press conference, his first appearance since the removal of FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke, will follow a two-day executive committee meeting, where the seemingly-endless scandals at world football’s sleaze-tainted governing body were on the agenda.
Since the executive committee last met, much of the news surrounding FIFA had been less than positive.
On Wednesday, the Swiss justice ministry approved the extradition to the US of Rafael Esquivel, a Venezuelan ex-FIFA official who was among those arrested in a dawn raid in Zurich in May.
