Blatter's religious hypocrisy

The Pharaohs perform namaz after their win against Italy

Blatter was very critical of the Seleccao for huddling together in prayer after they won the Confederations Cup final against the USA. He called their gesture "a danger" and said there was "no room for religion in soccer."

Blatter also promised he would prohibit any kind of religious expression during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
