Is this an insult or a compliment to Obama?

FIFA (the world governing body of soccer) President Sepp Blatter stopped by the White House to see new President Barack Obama.

The Blatter-led FIFA delegation to the White House also included FIFA Vice-President and CONCACAF president Jack Warner, FIFA secretary general Jérôme Valcke, and U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati.

CBS News White House reporter Mark Knoller wrote on his Twitter account following the meeting, most likely from the pool report:

Blatter says Obama is not good enough with a soccer ball to play on a winning team - but is good enough for a losing team.

Blatter also invited Obama to South Africa in 2010 for the World Cup; Obama is attempting to bring the World Cup to the United States in either 2018 or 2022. The 32-team tournament is arguably the biggest sporting event in the world.

So Obama might just make an appearance to help out on that front.

Obama's daughters play the game and in a letter to Blatter about getting the World Cup in the United States, Obama cited playing in his youth in Indonesia.

So how much skill does Obama have? Well, at least a little bit accordign to, again, Knoller's Twitter:

Soccer in the Oval Office: Soccer federation chief gives Obama a soccer ball and says he kicked it around and even headed it.
