But I think we have to ask why the UK press has declared war on Sepp Blatter.
I have thought that league football, particularly in the UK, has been pumped with money so that club football becomes more important than international football.
1. The players become apprehensive about playing for their countries in case they are injured, lose their place in their club side and are either sold or are given less lucrative contracts.
2. The clubs become apprehensive because there is so much money at stake that they cannot afford to allow their best players to miss one match for international duty, particularly if the player is injured and misses several crucial matches, the club drops points and misses out on a Champions League spot.
3. The fans become apprehensive about the players they pay large amounts of their hard earned money to see becoming injured or missing matches for international duty, the club dropping points and either missing out on lucrative competitions the following season, or heaven forbid, are relegated (Scott Parker of West Ham Utd?).
And as for the Champions League? It is quickly assuming the status of a European league competition. It is the successor to the European Cup, a competition which involved only the winners of the national leagues. But then some second place clubs in the bigger leagues were allowed in, and now the top four in the Barclays Premiership enter the Champions League, so Champions League is actually a misnomer.
But what else do we know?
We know that football is the national sport of England.
We also know that there is a cabal based in London who wish to destroy national sovereignty so that a despotic world government that they control can be more easily installed (and the word despot is more suitable here than the context in which it was used by The Sun).
So taking this growth of high-stakes league football over international football into account, why is there a war on Sepp Blatter?
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has called for a reduction in the size of domestic competitions in order to improve the standard of international football.
Blatter told the world governing body's website that the issue of too many matches would be addressed by a think-tank seeking to boost the sport ahead of the next World Cup in Brazil in 2014.
"In my view, and this is something on which (UEFA president) Michel Platini agrees, domestic championships are too long because there are too many teams and too many matches," the 74-year-old said on Wednesday.
"Teams in leagues with 20 clubs play 38 games, on top of which they also have national cup competitions and league cups, etc. This also creates a conflict of interest between national teams and clubs, some of whom complain that their players come back tired or injured.
"That's not the fault of the international calendar, however, and it's a subject that ought to be discussed."

Destroying the support that football fans in England, and indeed in Scotland, have for their national team would go some way in destroying their sense of patriotism.
And it was the Murdoch press who tried to batter Blatter. Bilderberg Murdoch pumped up the Premiership and began this inflation of club football over international football, where today a player can earn more in a week than a player in the 1980's could earn in a lifetime of playing football.
Blatter loves international football. He thinks the quantity of league football should be decreased in favour of more quality international football.
Is this why the Bilderberg/Murdoch press tried to batter Blatter?
Is it purely monetary?
Or is there a world government angle to this war on Sepp Blatter?
In my opinion, the UEFA Champions League is supposed to replace The UEFA European Championship, with similar club championships replacing international competitions on the other continents, and eventually one global club championship is supposed to replace the World Cup.
In a world government there can be no nationalism, only obediance to Mammon.
