Blatter shaking hands with delegates 20. Blatter leaving the hall STORYLINE FIFA's newly re-elected president Sepp Blatter said on Wednesday that he did not expect "any more battles" within football's governing body and declared a policy of "zero tolerance" for all FIFA members. Blatter, a 75-year-old Swiss executive who has been in office since 1998, was handed a final four-year term as head of football's governing body in a vote at FIFA's congress, winning 186 votes out of a possible 203 ballots. There were no other candidates, following the withdrawal of his one rival Mohammed Bin Hammam amid bribery allegations. Following his re-election, Blatter announced a series of reforms to make world football's governing body more transparent, after a series of corruption allegations involving executive committee members. He immediately took steps toward major reform by winning the assembly's backing for his proposal to have future World Cup hosts selected in a vote of all 208 federations instead of the 24-man executive committee. The congress also endorsed his plans to revamp the ethics committee and bring in more transparency. "We have now instruments needed to restart the credibility of FIFA," Blatter told a news conference. Blatter also said that FIFA members, and he himself, had talked to the organisation's sponsors who had expressed concern about being associated with FIFA's tarnished image. "They told us, ' We trust you but please bring back this FIFA, or this boat of FIFA in, I would say, in better waters','" he said. Before being formally voted in, Blatter conceded the decision to have the bidding processes for two World Cups, that Russia and Qatar won, at the same time had been a mistake. He said that all the congress delegates would vote on future World Cups rather than just the 24-man executive committee. The impending election of an incumbent as the only candidate had dealt a serious blow to FIFA's democratic credentials over the past week. To put it lightly Blatter's re-election has been steeped in controversy. FIFA committee member Chuck Blazer last month made allegations of bribery against FIFA vice president Jack Warner and Bin Hammam, ultimately leading to the Qatari's withdrawal from the FIFA presidential race and the suspension of both men from football-related activities. As CONCACAF's (Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) general secretary, Blazer had been involved in seemingly bitter acrimony within the regional organisation which Warner headed prior to his suspension. He was reportedly sacked from his post by acting president Lisle Austin in the early hours of Wednesday only to be reinstated shortly after by CONCACAF's executive committee. "There's no problem. The (CONCACAF ) Executive Committee - or the majority of the Executive Committee - has said very clearly that I have a job, and they are the only ones who can control that," Blazer said following Wednesday's vote. The American added that Austin, " thinks he has more power than he does." Despite the scandal, Blazer who is said to be a close ally of Blatter remains positive over FIFA's long-term future. Danny Jordaan, who was the Chief Executive Officer at last year's World Cup in South Africa, acknowledged the huge damage done to FIFA's reputation following the recent allegations. "I think it should never be repeated in the history of international football, and I think that the structures have been put in place to deal with the matters," he added Manuel Burga, the president of Peru's football association, said that while they must not forget about the recent scandal they must now focus on the future. Burga was also confident that those that had allegations against them would be given a fair chance to defend themselves. "These are things that correspond to a commission, and with this commission they have the right to defend themselves legitimately. The commission is made up of honourable people and they will give a verdict. We hope it will be a fair situation and equitable, and what ever will be will be," he added. Bin Hammam has appealed against his ban but was denied entry into the FIFA congress meeting on Wednesday.

Thousands of people had gathered at street parties across the country on Thursday, ready to celebrate the announcement carried live on television and shown on giant screens at the rallies. Rejection of the South African bid was seen by many as another bitter message from the international community about Africa's place in the world. South Africans, convinced they would host the 2006 World Cup soccer tournament, reacted with shock and disappointment on Thursday when FIFA, the sport's governing body, awarded the tournament to Germany. Bookmakers in South Africa were so sure the country would get the Cup that several closed the betting. Thousands of people had gathered at street parties, ready to celebrate the announcement shown on live video link ups. The result stunned the crowds.

You can see those people are disappointed. even me, I'm disappointed." SUPER CAPTION: Voxpop South African President Thabo Mbeki, in a televised speech, called it a 'tragic day for Africa'. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Of course the disappointment we are experiencing today is a setback to our efforts at gaining the recognition Africa deserves in the international sporting community." SUPER CAPTION: Thabo Mbeki, South African President Former South African President Nelson Mandela also expressed his disappointment at the result, but added that South Africa's loss couldn't be blamed on anyone. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Few people will criticise the European nations for being selfish and callous because history shows that they have had many opportunities to host these international events. But the important thing is that we were given an equal chance."

Some felt South Africa's loss was an indication of how the international community viewed its standing in the world. SOUNDBITE: (English) "This is a clear indication of the lack of confidence the world has in Africa as a continent. There is no better time to give this bid to Africa than now and for them to turn their backs on South Africa, this is a clear indication of how low they regard the continent and it's very sad, very, very sad."

The people who are ruling football have to say if this technology has to be used or not have to be used." 19. Wide of referees training STORYLINE: FIFA President Sepp Blatter apologised on Tuesday to the Mexican and English football associations for officiating errors that helped eliminate them from the World Cup. Blatter said on Tuesday that FIFA deplores "when you see the evidence of referees' mistakes." England was denied a clear goal against Germany on Sunday when Frank Lampard's shot bounced off the crossbar and over the goal line. If the goal had been given, England would have equalised to 2-2 in the 38th minute. Germany won the match 4-1. Later that day, Argentina's first goal in a 3-1 win over Mexico was scored by Carlos Tevez from an offside position but was still allowed by Italian referee Roberto Rosetti. Blatter, who attended both matches, said he had apologised to English and Mexican football officials. "I have expressed, what I would say the apologies and I understand that they are not happy," he said at a news conference in Johannesburg on Tuesday. Blatter also said football's governing body will reopen the issue of using video replay technology after the tournament. He said the International Football Association Board would consider changes at a July meeting in Cardiff, Wales. Jose-Maria Garcia-Aranda, FIFA's head of refereeing, wouldn't be drawn into the debate, leaving the decision to The International Football Association Board. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a referees' training session in Pretoria on Tuesday, Garcia-Aranda, said "the people who are ruling football have to say if this technology has to be used". Speaking at the same training session, English referee Howard Webb, who officiated last month's Champions League final, said Tuesday that officials were acutely aware of their importance of their decisions. "I'm still disappointed if it's 5-0 and I miss a decision that would make it 6-0, then I'm still disappointed," he said. "This is something we've worked for for a long time, we understand the importance of the competition to the world." While major sports including tennis, cricket and baseball have employed video replay as a tool to help officials get calls right, football has steadfastly refused to do so. Blatter said in 2008 that football should be left with errors. But after England and Mexico were wronged, the group which represents professional players worldwide, FIFPro, said referees should get access to high-tech assistance. While England was denied a clear goal, the situation in the Argentina game was slightly different, in that it involved an offside call and not a determination of whether the ball crossed over the goal line. A Danish member of the FIFA's Referees Committee said Italian referee Roberto Rosetti, who officiated in the 2008 European Championship final, was to blame for awarding the goal to Tevez. Blatter said FIFA has also set a deadline of October or November to create a new concept for improving communication and decision-making between the match officials at top tournaments. He said FIFA spent 40 (m) million US dollars on a programme to prepare match officials worldwide before selecting 30 referees and 60 assistants to work in South Africa.

We believe the right technology helping the referee make a decision over something which is a relatively rare event in football - the scoring of a goal - is entirely appropriate. But the rigour we've given it in terms of approving the technologies and making sure that the systems are entirely robust I think is absolutely right. But it's a great day, I believe, for football today to see that that entrance into the laws of the game." 5. Various of news conference 6.

I mean, the only one remaining point now is the design and the colour. I mean it seems to all of us clear that the colour should be the same colour as the jersey." 7. Wide exterior shot of FIFA headquarters 8. Flags STORYLINE: The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) approved the introduction of goal-line technology after a meeting at its headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, on Thursday. After high-profile refereeing mistakes at the 2010 World Cup finals and more recently at the European Championship in Poland and Ukraine, FIFA have finally relented and agreed to introduce the technology. General secretary Jerome Valcke announced, after a meeting of FIFA's lawmaking panel, that systems from the Goal Ref and Hawkeye companies will now undergo further testing. The systems are set to be used for the first time at the Club World Cup in Tokyo, Japan at the end of the year. If they prove successful, the systems will also be used at the 2013 Confederations Cup and at the 2014 World Cup finals - both tournaments being played in Brazil. The English Premier League is also expected to adopt one of the systems - which are expected to cost up to 250,000 US dollars (200,000 euros) per stadium to install - during the next season. Alex Horne, the general secretary of England's Football Association (FA) said at Thursday's press conference that is was a great day for the sport. England were denied a goal at the World Cup in South Africa when Frank Lampard's shot against Germany was disallowed before television replays proved it had crossed the line. Ukraine suffered the same fate at Euro 2012 - this time against England - as Marko Devic's effort clearly crossed before John Terry cleared. The panel also reversed a ban on women players wearing headscarves in FIFA competitions - a rule which had been enforced for safety reasons since 2007. Valcke said the design would have to be discussed at a business meeting in October.

Police officer standing next to vehicle listening to man speak STORYLINE As South Africa prepares to kick off the 2010 World Cup in less than two weeks, authorities say security forces are ready to deal with any threats that may emerge during the month-long tournament, which is football's premier event. The country's police minister said on Monday that the World Cup faced no terror threat and dismissed speculation about plots by groups ranging from al-Qaida to homegrown white militants. Johannesburg, where some of the games will be played, has long had a reputation for violent crime, including rapes and murders. For local residents, the figures are all too real, highlighted by an armed robbery gone wrong at a pharmacy in a suburban shopping mall. Local resident Andy Cana saw what happened, but said it doesn't reflect normal reality. "It's just a minority that's actually really spoiling it for the majority," he said. "I hope the security is up to standard because nothing like that I've ever seen before in my life." South African police are determined to calm these fears. At a recent show of force in Johannesburg, the police service demonstrated their readiness for the World Cup - and the influx of foreign visitors - with an impressive display, replete with smoke bombs, helicopters and a parade. General Bheki Cele, the country's National Police Commissioner, said he wouldn't try to deny that violent crime is a reality in South Africa. "But there are few things that are not often said. People are not saying that with the statistics, crime stats of last year, being 18-thousand people killed, that number has been consistently going down," Cele said. Cele promised that tourists would be safe from crime during the World Cup. "South African police, all other agencies, the government and everybody will make sure that the people of South Africa, and our guests, are safe." At least 40-thousand officers out of a force of more than 190-thousand will be devoted to World Cup security. Stations near stadiums, investigation teams and special courts operating 24 hours a day will be dedicated to the event. Last week, a joint operations centre led by police and including military, intelligence and other government agencies took over supervising World Cup security. The centre will operate 24 hours a day from an undisclosed location in the capital until the World Cup ends. The police arsenal has been boosted by 90 million US dollars worth of new equipment, including water cannons, helicopters, speed boats, jet skis, new high-performance police cars and heavy-duty emergency rescue vehicles. Alexia Leitich, a Johannesburg resident, said the majority of her friends and family had been victims of crime, from muggings to violent hijackings. Leitich herself was attacked in her own driveway. But she said that because crime happens everywhere, people just learn to be aware of their surroundings and be sensible. "I think I was pretty sloppy. I think now, if the same thing were to happen, I would have noticed that car following us, I would have noticed them turning. You know, I think it was just carelessness," Leitich said. Police patrols vary from area to area, and Leitich believed that the increase in private security has contributed to decreasing incidents of violent crime. During the World Cup, South Africa will be safer than ever.

STILL of Nelson Mandela foundation website saying his great granddaughter has died in crash STORYLINE: Nelson Mandela's 13-year-old great-granddaughter was killed in a car crash on the way home from a concert in Soweto on the eve of the World Cup, his office said on Friday. The Nelson Mandela Foundation said Zenani Mandela died in a one-car accident and no one else was injured. A Johannesburg police spokeswoman said the driver of the car involved in the one-car accident, a male, had been arrested and charged with drink-driving. The spokeswoman said the driver, who police would not name, could also face culpable homicide charges. The spokeswoman would not give any further detail. The Mandela foundation has also denied reports that the former president's ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela was in the car, but said she was treated for shock at a hospital after being informed of the accident and the death of her great-granddaughter. Thursday's World Cup concert had drawn tens of thousands of people to Soweto, and traffic was congested into the early hours on Friday. Zenani, who celebrated her 13th birthday June 9, was one of the anti-apartheid icon's nine great-grandchildren. "The family has asked for privacy as they mourn this tragedy," the foundation said in a statement. The foundation said later Mandela would not attend Friday's World Cup opening ceremony in Johannesburg, dashing South Africans' hopes the frail 91-year-old former president would make a rare appearance. Mandela was "torn up" by the accident, the foundation added. Mandela, who turns 92 on July 18, has largely retired from public life although as of Thursday it had been anticipated he would make a brief appearance at the World Cup opening ceremony on Friday, depending on his health and the weather conditions. "We continue to believe that the World Cup is a momentous and historical occasion for South Africa and the continent, and we are certain it will be a huge success. Madiba will be there with you in spirit today," said foundation spokesman Sello Hatang, reading from the statement.

Various of Maradona embracing a boy STORYLINE The footballing legend, Diego Maradona, was removed as coach of Argentina's national team on Tuesday, ending an erratic 21-month stint that mirrored his own long history of unpredictable behaviour and culminated in a humiliating exit in the World Cup quarterfinals. Speaking in Buenos Aires, an Argentine Football Association (AFA) spokesperson Ernesto Cherquis Bialo, said that following a unanimous vote of its executive committee Maradona's contract would not be renewed as national coach. Maradona had said he would only accept the AFA's offer of a new four-year deal through to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil if his entire staff also remained. That demand was unacceptable to Argentine Football Association president Julio Grondona. He had asked for several assistants to be replaced. One of them is Maradona's close friend, Alejandro Mancuso. The federation's executive committee sided with Grondona, a little more than three weeks after Argentina was eliminated in the World Cup in South Africa with a 4-0 loss to Germany. Bialo called the decision a painful one but the AFA said there was no way to resolve the dispute as the aspirations of the association and Maradona for the future of the national team are different. Despite Maradona's contract not being renewed, Cherquis Bialo hinted there might be a role in the future for him. The AFA said youth team manager Sergio Batista would be the interim coach for the friendly against the Republic of Ireland on August 11 in Dublin. Possible successors include two club coaches in Argentina: Alejandro Sabella of Estudiantes and Miguel Russo of Racing. Former Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa has also been mentioned as an option. Bielsa led Chile to the final 16 of the World Cup. But asked who will be the new coach, Bialo offered nothing. He said that the AFA was not sure who would be the coach when Argentina hosts the world champions Spain in Buenos Aires on the 7th of September. The 49-year-old Maradona became Argentina's coach in November 2008, replacing Alfio Basile and taking over a team he led to the 1986 World Cup title. His results were mixed. He had little coaching experience, and the team suffered two of the worst losses in history: a 6-1 hammering at Bolivia in World Cup qualifying, and the recent World Cup defeat to Germany. Maradona's coaching inexperience was obvious in the loss to Germany, which exposed Argentina's defensive frailties and lack of midfield speed. Maradona is a larger-than-life icon in Argentina who beat cocaine and alcohol addiction. Two weeks ago, the AFA offered Maradona the chance to renew his contract for another four years. But Maradona put off meeting with Grondona to travel to Venezuela at the invitation of his friend, President Hugo Chavez. Maradona's relationship with key figures in Argentine football was also tense. He denied the leaders of AFA and businessmen with commercial ties to the organisation any access to practice sessions in South Africa but allowed reporters to attend. Maradona's most controversial moment came nine months ago when Argentina defeated Uruguay, finally ending a struggle to reach the World Cup. Maradona erupted with a stream of sexually graphic profanities at his critics on live television. He was given a two-month ban by FIFA (International Federation of Association Football), football's world governing body.
