Sepp Blatter was re-elected for a fifth term as president of FIFA and boy, did he have some things to say.
Firstly, who doesn't love a good movie reference, even better when it's used wrong:
Sepp Blatter refers to Oceania’s delegates as "Ocean’s 11." Nothing like referencing a heist in the midst of an FBI investigation.

We thought we'd scoop out the best ones. Why don't you be the judge if this guy really is the best man for the job.
On trying to show some humility:
"I like you. I like my job, and I like to be with you. I'm not perfect."
When addressing the FIFA Congress, he bragged in a nautical way:
"For the next four years I will be in command of this boat called FIFA. We will bring it back off shore.
Again, he makes it clear who is boss:
It is my congress, I have the right to make the closing remarks. This is a very important congress. You see I am in a good mood. I was a little bit nervous today, but now I am the president of everybody, I am the president of the whole Fifa.
This game is important, but more important, enjoy life!
Then he gives a nod to women:
We need in this committee women. We need ladies.
And finally, he gives us happy!
Together we go. Let's go Fifa! Let's go Fifa!
