Football Association chairman Greg Dyke has confirmed that England will consider withdrawing from the World Cup should Sepp Blatter be re-elected as FIFA president.
Calls have been made for the under-fire Swiss chief to step aside from his position ahead of today's election, although he has vowed to clean up football's image following a turbulent week for the governing body.
Dyke made clear on Thursday afternoon that he wanted the presidential election, in which Blatter will go up against Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein in Zurich, to go ahead as planned.
However, should the controversial top boss earn a fifth term in charge, England may pull out of the next World Cup if other nations follow in suit.
"There would be no point pulling England out if everyone else stays in," he told Sky Sports News. "It would have no impact. It would just be forgotten.
"But if you could pull UEFA out, that might have an impact. If Blatter gets re-elected, then that should be discussed. I thought the evidence the Americans produced was devastating and I don't think Blatter can survive that.
"He might survive this weekend but I don't think he can survive in the long-term. During his period in charge, the level of corruption has been unacceptable. It's just frightening."
UEFA chief Michel Platini, who was among those to ask Blatter to resign this week, has himself admitted that the European governing body may break away from FIFA.
