Sepp Blatter has been re-elected as head of soccer's world governing body, FIFA, in a vote overshadowed by arrests and corruption charges. Blatter’s rival, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan, did force a second round of voting but eventually withdrew. In his victory speech, Blatter said, “I am the president now, the president of everybody.” Seven FIFA officials were arrested in Switzerland in a U.S. prosecution that indicted 14 people. Many soccer fans were disappointed but not surprised that Blatter was re-elected. teleSUR
