It would appear so, if his video criticism of the USA is anything to go by, in the aftermath of a week of turmoil for FIFA. The FBI swooped to arrest 14 FIFA officials, in conjunction with the Swiss authorities, as they arrived in Zurich for the congress, and the presidential election. Predictably, Sepp Blatter was re-elected for a fifth term, but that hasn't stopped Warner from hitting out at the USA, albeit with evidence from a very sketchy source. In the video, Warner says: "I look to see [holding up piece of paper with headline from The Onion ] that FIFA has frantically announced a 2015, this year, a World Cup beginning May 27th in the USA. In pictures: 65th FIFA Congress VIEW GALLERY Sepp Blatter "If FIFA is so bad, why is it the USA wants a FIFA World Cup? Why is it they want games on May 27, two days before the FIFA elections? Why is it the US authorities sought to embarrass FIFA in Zurich? "Something has to be wrong. I point out to you over and over, that all this has stemmed from the US' failed bid to host the World Cup." Whoops! The article in question The article, entitled 'FIFA Frantically Announces 2015 Summer World Cup In United States. Global Soccer Tournament To Kick Off In America Later This Afternoon' was published on Wednesday afternoon. Reuters Jack Warner Exhaustion: Warner dancing at a rally shortly after being taken to hospital It was, of course, full of satire, including this extract: "At press time, the U.S. national team was leading defending champions Germany in the World Cup’s opening match after being awarded 12 penalties in the game’s first three minutes." Warner was in the headlines for the wrong reasons once again this week, after he was taken to hospital complaining of 'exhaustion' following his arrest. However, he was seen dancing at a rally soon afterwards. In a speech to supporters, he later compared himself to Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi.
