Best Tweets: The day that brought down the house of FIFA

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has been suspended, while his right-hand-man Jerome Valcke and UEFA's top dog Michel Platini (also high up within FIFA) have also been suspended for 90 days as football's global organising body finally started kicking down a few doors in its attempt to clean up its act.

The glee from many commenting was almost palpable, with the BBC's Dan Roan Tweeting a delighted message referring to the "rotten edifice" of FIFA crumbling.

Roan deleted that Tweet not long after, presumably following a legal threat from the firm of builders who erected FIFA's plush HQ in Zurich, and causing us to choose a new headline for this story.

But the message was clear: this was a good news day, with some getting excited even by the idea that Blatter won't be able to pick up the framed photos from his desk:

This snap-reaction rundown of the state of corruption at FIFA was great:

Our own Tom Adams got into the spirit of things as well as he manned this very site's Twitter thing.

And then the jokes just started coming...

...and coming...

...and coming:

In fact, the only people not really getting into the swing of things were at FIFA. No doubt the guys manning the press office are covering their backs... you know, for the almost inevitable day when Blatter, Platini and Valcke are reinstated.

Others, soberly but rather boringly, began to muse about who will be next up for the job.

Fear not, Mr Kelso! We already found a volunteer...

Tom Coast is on to something. A job where you get paid millions, and can make millions more, swanning around the world watching and talking about football? We've a feeling that New FIFA (TM) will have quite a lot of applicants when they try to fill the voids at the top of the organisation.
