Sepp Blatter suggests fans should not travel to #US for #WorldCup

Former #Fifa president Sepp Blatter on Monday suggested he supports fans boycotting World Cup matches in the United States this year due to security concerns.

Blatter gave his support to comments from Swiss #anti-corruption lawyer Mark Pieth, who worked with Fifa on potential reforms when Blatter was president, saying fans should stay away from the US for the tournament.

Ich liebe solche Fenster wie die hier an diesem #FensterFreitag. Sie haben ein Großstadtfeeling von Orten wie NY o.ä., die es hier im Norden eigentlich gar nicht gibt.
