FIFA President, Sepp Blatter, Issues Public Apology

The pressure was increasing continuously and eventually he had to give in to some extent. FIFA boss, Sepp Blatter, officially apologized to Mexico and England for the obvious errors that were made by some of the referees during World Cup soccer matches, which included the dismissal of evident goals.
