Platini cancels UEFA meeting on anti-Blatter tactics (The Associated Press)

NYON, Switzerland (AP) -- UEFA has canceled a meeting in Berlin this weekend where member federations were to discuss ways of opposing a Sepp Blatter-led FIFA.

UEFA President Michel Platini says it is better to await developments after Blatter announced plans to resign.

Platini also noted the ''unpredictable nature'' of a U.S. federal investigation into corruption in world soccer.

He says ''considering new information is revealed every day, I believe it is wiser to take time to assess the situation.''

The 54 UEFA member federations were expected to meet on the sidelines of this weekend's Champions League final.
