Switzerland: With my resignation I stopped play - FIFA's Blatter

"I kicked a ball out of the field to stop something," said FIFA President Sepp Blatter in Zurich, Monday, as he was talking about his resignation on June 2. Speaking at a FIFA press conference, Blatter however emphasised that he is the incumbent FIFA president until a successor is elected. Talking about the latter, Blatter announced that a new FIFA president will be elected on February 26, 2016. If the timeline is stuck to, Blatter will have worked at FIFA for over 40 years. Before the press could ask any questions, Blatter walked off stage, as British comedian Simon Brodkin, also known as Lee Nelson, interrupted the event and showered the FIFA head with fake banknotes. He gatecrashed the conference, walking up to Blatter's table and throwing money at him, saying, "this is for North Korea 2026." Nelson was promptly taken away by security before Blatter announced, "this has nothing to do with football," briefly shutting down the conference to clean up.
