Diego Maradona has spoken, and he's saying what most of the football world is thinking.
The Argentine icon, commenting after several top FIFA officials were arrested in Switzerland on Wednesday – part of a group of 14 who now face federal corruption charges in the United States – had a simple, biting label for the president of football's governing body.
Blatter, who is widely expected to be re-elected for a fifth term as FIFA president on Friday, was not among those charged.
