Blatter v Prince Ali for FIFA job as Figo, van Praag exit

Luis Figo and Michael van Praag pulled out of the race for the FIFA presidency Thursday, leaving controversial incumbent Sepp Blatter in a straight fight with Jordan's Prince Ali bin al Hussein. Former Portuguese international captain Figo withdrew with a bitter broadside at the contentious election campaign. "I do not fear the ballot box, but I will not go along with nor will I give my consent to a process which will end on May 29 and from which soccer will not emerge the winner,"
