Departing FIFA President Sepp Blatter said he was "looking forward to a decision in his favour" after facing an eight-hour hearing in front of Ethics Committee judge Hans-Joachim Eckert in Zurich today.

The President of South America's football governing body has resigned following his arrest for alleged corruption last week.

Working your way through the 240-page “superseding indictment” unveiled last week by United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch by way of a powerful aftershock to the earthquake that laid waste to the FIFA Congress in May, it would be all too easy to form the view that we should disband FIFA and start all over again with governance of the world’s most popular sport.
