AP's ROB HARRIS: "Problem w/Valcke etc speaking out on Qatar off-message is the confusion it creates for @fifamedia which has an official line to push on 2022"

London Guardian's OWEN GIBSON: "Former IOC president Jacques Rogge gets some sort of gong from Blatter. The gnomic Belgian remains impassive as ever."

Yahoo!'s CHARLES ROBINSON: "Apparently Sochi is indeed poisoning stray dogs and that's what I stumbled upon this morning. A pretty disturbing scene. Large dogs, too."
