After refusing a request from UEFA president Michel Platini to stand down, Blatter told the FIFA congress in Zurich that 'if people want to do wrong, they will also try to hide it.'
The French chief of UEFA met Blatter one-on-one on Thursday and asked him to quit but he refused, saying it would not be possible before Friday's presidential election.
Platini confirmed that all his member nations in Europe have been asked to vote for Blatter's opponent, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, after two separate criminal probes were launched into FIFA.
And Platini has not ruled out the possibility of a World Cup boycott if Blatter is re-elected, saying 'we will be open to all options.'
In my opinion, its an embarrassment and a huge stain on FIFA, and the only way to save the integrity of the world organisation is for all involved, and top officials inclusive, to resign.
Or risk cause irrepairable damage to FIFA's credibility.
