Dinner with Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini

This week’s Run of Play at Pitch Invasion feature finds me traveling to a suburban Red Lobster in order to have dinner with FIFA President Sepp Blatter and UEFA President Michel Platini. Our conversation touches on matters ranging from the cartographic largess of the American Denny’s to the break-up of the G-14.

SEPP BLATTER: “These are words that go together well!”
