Whenever you think FIFA can’t look more incompetent, international soccer’s governing body finds a way.
Thursday, hours after the U.S. Justice Department charged 16 more FIFA officials in an ever-growing corruption scandal, acting FIFA president Issa Hayatou appeared to fall asleep at his own press conference.
You can judge for yourself whether Hayatou was dozing off or just looking at his belt buckle, but his eyes close, his head droops and he slowly falls forward before snapping back to alertness. We’ve all done this at some point during a boring class. Somebody get this man a 5 hour Energy ASAP! Maybe he could parlay this into a sponsorship with them although from what we can tell from the kickbacks that have been reported, I’m not sure their compensation would be worth anyone at FIFA’s time.
But hey, at least he’s not Sepp Blatter right?
