This is unbelievable.
FIFA are in the headlines all around the world for all the wrong reasons this week (bar this one).
Seven officials arrested by the FBI have rocked the organisation to its core and calls have been made for the FIFA president, Sepp Blatter to resign, but he is tenaciously denying any involvement and is determined to press ahead with the presidency election today.
Blatter is seeking his fifth term as president and ahead of the vote today at the FIFA Congress in Zurich, they decided to test the e-voting system.
The question posed was: Did Germany win the World Cup? Pretty standard basic question.
However, 5 per cent of the answers to the question said no.
Just let that sink in for a second… Some FIFA delegates, the heads of football on this planet, do not know who won the most prestigious football tournament last year.
OH MY GOD. At Fifa congress, they’ just tested e-voting system by asking delegates if Germany won World Cup. Five per cent said no! #FIFA

You’d almost think those lads were just in the job for the money and perks.
Here’s to hoping the 5 per cent in question were just messing…
