From The Guardian:

'Sepp Blatter may have watched Manchester United draw at Bolton on Saturday but the president of Fifa is never sidelined for long. He argues that the game proved Sir Alex Ferguson was wrong in his complaints about the Olympic football tournament.

"I saw he was using the Argentinian gold medallist from the beginning and then bringing in the artist from Portugal for the last 20 minutes," said Blatter mischievously. "I think he has got the message. Let the young players go to the Olympics. Perhaps they will then bring the Olympic spirit into their teams."
