Here's the video of it! 
It's hard to hear him but apparently he said "Sepp, this is for North Korea in 2026."

He jumped up on stage and initially handed Blatter a huge wad of fake dollar bills, before saying: "Sepp, this is for North Korea in 2026."Here's the video of it!

Security guards then took Brodkin away, but not before threw the rest of the fake money at the 79-year-old and added: "Cheers, Sepp - it's all there."

haha..Don't find Lee Nelson that funny but this was class.
Sepp acted like a typical politician in this- opaque, unrelated answers every time. It was like getting blood from a stone. February 2016 is just enough time for him to do some more damage and consolidate a hefty retirement package at the same time.

You all beat me to linking the video. That was just great, the look on Bladder's face is hilarious.

The sad truth is that North Korea could definitely bribe FIFA to host the 2026 World Cup.
I love the comedy-drama of it all.
I hope someone does a parody of the FIFA movie, oh wait...

Someone had to do it.

Putin says Blatter should get a Nobel Prize. But that may be due to him having got into the weed cookies, by the looks of it.

Putin's just trolling the West-he's such a contrarian.

Blatter under criminal investigation-looks like the authorities have their smoking gun and are going after the odious, corrupt dwarf. Platini's getting entangled in this. God, get rid of the lot of them.

I do have some sympathy for Blatter for what he's done for world football in Aftica and Asia but clinging on to power was totally unnecessary. I find it strange how individuals work their way into the upper echelons of sporting organisations and then refuse to relinquish power in order to bring the step change these organisations need. Just off the top of my head we have Gordon Taylor and Mike Riley. The worst one was Max Mosley.

Seems the protester had it right....whatever "security please" had to say about it.

Swiss attacking hard here. Doubt Blatter survives this entire scandal. Platini should go to jail as well.

I've never liked the idea of Platini replacing Blatter.

Just more proof that the demands for the total reform of fifa needs to happen. Blatter won't survive this, the fallout will probably kill of Platini and his political ambitions and reputation and you know if Blatter goes down, he'll be taking the very foundations of FIFA with him.
@General, the comparison to Max Mosley is probably not quite the same, aside from selling commercial rights for pennies, he reformed saftey in the sport and generally did more good then bad, Sepps more comparable to Jean-Marie Balestre (he was even a former French SS member!).

Nah Sid Watkins and Charlie Whitting were the true pioneers of safety in F1. Sepp and Max are both clearly power drunk and think of their respective organisations as some personal property.
