Blatter slams critics: Am I to blame for climate change too?!

The Swiss believes that jealousy is behind the attacks on his time at the helm of the game's governing body.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter says that he is being made a scapegoat for others' failings, sarcastically suggesting that some people would even go so far as to blame him for global warming.

The Swiss announced last month that he will imminently resign from his post as he no longer feels he has the full support of everyone within the game after football's governing body was rocked by a corruption scandal that resulted in the arrest of 14 people just two days before his re-election.
