Blatter may be an ass, but he has played Bin Hammam like a cheap violin.

Blatter is doing nothing to dismiss the rumours surrounding Qatar's alleged bribery, if only because he wants to shore up his chances to beat Bin Hammam.

If Bin Hammam hadn't challeneged Blatter, none of this would be happening.

There must be some FURIOUS Qataris out there who want to slap down Bin Hammam right now.
