JOHN TERRY would be HERO for his off-field antics — if he was not English.
That is the view of outspoken FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who reckons the Chelsea skipper's nationality has cost him the England captaincy following his alleged affair.
Blatter said: "This is a special approach in the Anglo-Saxon countries. If this had happened in, let's say, Latin countries then I think he would have been applauded."
Terry was axed as England captain after he cheated on his wife with former team-mate Wayne Bridge's ex-girlfriend.
The defender, 29, has been given time off by Chelsea to address the issues in his personal life and will miss his side's FA Cup tie against Cardiff this weekend.
Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins said: "He will not play this weekend. Carlo Ancelotti is giving him a bit of time off.
"They just had a little chat, John and Carlo, and decided that would be the best for all concerned."
JUST PROVES WHAT A TIT SEPP BLATTER REALLY IS!!
p.s sorry put it in the wrong place to start with!
