Whoops.
It’s hard to say ‘Sepp Blatter’ and ‘backing’ in the same sentence.
It’s even harder to say ‘backing Blatter’ so we’re going to cut our good mate and pal Adam Leventhal at Sky Sports some serious slack for this horrendous gaffe.
He was trying to say that Blatter was still being backed by African Nations in his bid to retain the FIFA presidency.
Unfortunately that is not what he actually said…

It was merely a slip of the tongue and we’ve all had silly moments so we really really feel for him.
Always remember to do your Ron Burgundy vocal warm-ups before going on air…
