Former FIFA boss Blatter revels in visit to Putin, World Cup

The Kremlin has said USA national security adviser John Bolton plans to visit Moscow, without providing details about the trip.

On Wednesday, he said that the tournament in Russia felt like "my World Cup", and on Thursday he said he would like to say "well done" to Infantino, his FIFA successor, for the World Cup so far, but added that FIFA should not be embarrassed by his presence there. Federation Internationale de Football Association said via the tournament's official Twitter account.

Blatter said it was "respectful" to be invited to the Kremlin despite being suspended from football.

Earlier on June 21, Russia's Interfax news agency quoted sources in Washington as saying that Bolton was expected to come to travel to Moscow next week to prepare for a possible meeting of Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump. "He should not be embarrassed because I am going to watch some matches", Blatter told reporters.

Blatter's ban was imposed shortly after the Swiss attorney general's office began criminal proceedings against him on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and misappropriation.

"I had the impression it was my World Cup ... that time has not stopped since I went to the last one in Brazil", he said, smiling.
