FIFA president Sepp Blatter under pressure to quit

The situation for football's world governing body, FIFA, continues to deteriorate.

Overnight, FIFA president Sepp Blatter has come under increasing pressure to quit, with FIFA's key sponsors threatening to pull the plug after the arrest of 14 officials.

But the long-serving president says that many of these issues are beyond his control.

The 79 year old is today bidding for a fifth term in charge of the world game, but there are now calls for the FIFA elections in Zurich to be postponed in light of the corruption investigation.

So is it for time for Sepp Blatter's reign as FIFA president to come to an end, even if he's not under investigation?
