No deliberate move to keep Blatter out of sight: Fifa TV boss

[RIO DE JANEIRO] Fifa's TV producers are not deliberately keeping images of Fifa president Sepp Blatter and Brazil president Dilma Rousseff off screens, Niclas Ericson, the head of Fifa TV, said on Sunday.

The crowd at the Corinthians arena booed and jeered Ms Rousseff when a shot of her cheering one of Brazil's goals in their 3-1 win over Croatia was briefly shown on the big screen inside the stadium.

The image of Mr Blatter has often been booed at past World Cups when he was shown on the screen in the stadium, and this World Cup was noticeable for the fact there was no opening speech by either the country's president or Mr Blatter before the start of the tournament.
