Mick Hucknall: England 'can't act individually' against FIFA

Mick Hucknall says England "can't act individually" in protest to the re-election of FIFA President Sepp Blatter.

The Simply Red singer鈥檚 comments come after European football's governing body, Uefa, said it was considering boycotting the 2018 World Cup, following the arrest of several Fifa officials over corruption claims.

"It's almost like he {Blatter} is putting his nose up to the Europeans somehow. He's got all his buddies in Africa and Asia and they're running the show," said Hucknall.

鈥淚f we got together with the other European countries and some of the support from say South America we might be able to put some pressure on,鈥 he added.
