FIFA President Sepp Blatter chaired an emergency meeting with continental soccer bodies Thursday while staying out of public view himself. Blatter called together leaders of FIFA's regions as world soccer is rocked by an American federal racketeering case. ''There was a meeting today with the president with the representatives from the confederations to discuss the current situation,'' FIFA spokeswoman Delia Fischer said in a statement.
