Blatter and Bin Hammam chances rest on who can claim credit for the Goal Project

The FIFA Presidential election will turn on two words: Goal Project.

This was Sepp Blatter's great idea, energetically pushed by him ever since he got elected as President. But, and this is crucial, it was run by Mohammed Bin Hammam. The Qatari can win if, through his stewardship of the project, he has built such support in FIFA that he can undercut Blatter, particularly in the small organisations round. It is a big if.

Yes, the election will see much talk of transparency and reforming FIFA. We have had such talk before and Bin Hammam is already engaged on such campaign themes.
