Again.

Europe and the English-speaking world again worked themselves up into a froth of indignity and righteous wrath over the cesspool that is “Fifa business” …

… and again the broad swaths of the world where such things don’t matter a bit reelected their man.

The reform candidate — or the guy who was not Sepp Blatter — got 73 votes in the Fifa presidential election tonight, and Sepp Blatter got 133.

Prince Ali of Jordan, the reform candidate by default, then conceded defeat, ahead of the majority-wins second round of balloting, and there we have …

Four more years of Sepp Blatter, 79, running world soccer!

Why was this such an open-and-shut thing?

Because most of the world is made up of small countries, and most of them are not very good at soccer, and they support Blatter almost en masse.

Why?

1. Because the little guys and the outsiders like the way money and patronage seem to have been shifted towards them during Sepp’s 17-year reign. And we begin here with Asia and Africa, federations with 47 and 56 votes, respectively, of the 209 available.

2. Europe and, especially, England are seen as condescending towards the rest of the world. This is the continent that mostly pays for (and rabidly supports) world football through their hugely successful clubs. But Europe wants to have control, as it once did, and Asia and Africa (and much of Concacaf, too, and South America) — don’t want that to happen.

So, this again turned into Europe against the world and, in Fifa votes, Europe is going to lose. Whether it is the presidential election or whether it is the vote for Russia over England in 2018 or Qatar over the United States in 2022.

The non-European world of soccer does not get particularly agitated about corruption that must seem remote to them, and irrelevant. What they believe is that Sepp Blatter is far more sympathetic to them and their issues than are the Europeans (and their allies in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand).

And the “attacks” on Blatter’s regime via arrests for corruption earlier in the week were seen as attacks on them, Blatter’s supporters.

Now, we wait to see if Europe despairs of a corrupt organization dominated by people who may love football but certainly are not very good at playing it, not to mention the countries so small they can hardly field a team.

If they do, they can boycott Russia 2018. They can go off and create their own competition.

If they do that, they may want to consider proportional representation, or some other system to make sure that the countries that dominate world football on both a club and national level (Spain, Germany, England, France, Italy) do not find themselves rendered nearly irrelevant by masses of soccer ciphers.
