The world according to Sepp: FIFA president's own goals and gaffes.

  FIFA president Sepp Blatter's 2011 remarks on racism in football -- that on-pitch abuse can be solved with a handshake -- were just one of a series of controversial quotes to be attributed to the head of world soccer.             

Thursday's debate between lead investigator Michael Garcia and FIFA judge Hans-Joachim Eckert over allegations of corruption during the FIFA World Cup bidding process is just the latest episode in a whole catalog of ignominy.
Blatter, who has been in charge of FIFA since 1998, is hoping to stand for a fifth term as president next year.
The 78-year-old has presided over some of the organization's most troubled times. Here are a few reminders.
