ABSTRACT
Let’s suspend disbelief for a few pages and listen to a good story. It is Sunday, 7 July 1998. Tomorrow the election for the most powerful and important job in world sport will take place. The campaign teams for the two runners, Sep Blatter and Lennart Johansson, have had an exhausting day, rallying the faithful and making last-minute pleas and promises to voters who may yet be persuaded to mark X for their man.
