His first stop was the Central American Football Association (CFU, in Spanish), whose headquarters, in San Pedro Sula, could double as a Central American version of the Playboy Mansion. The CFU had been in flux following the death of its former leader, the elderly Carlos Edwards in 1991, and during Blazer's tenure, the powerful Carlos Salinas and the Edgar Méndez brothers were trying to control the league from Cuba. As Blazer went to work, he and Carlos Edwards had a falling out. Edwards, who by then was the most powerful man in soccer at CFU, accused Blazer of overspending and lording it over the league's footballers. He led a power grab that left Blazer out. What followed was a decades-long dispute that Blazer most certainly won, as he easily re-took leadership of the league and the Central American Confederation. He assumed control of the CFU, which by then was structured into six regional pacts, with each affiliated with the United States Soccer Federation, FIFA's professional arm.
As Blazer's power grew, so did his arrogance, which Sherman noted in a book he wrote about CONCACAF. Constantly suspicious of officials to the point of paranoia, Blazer didn't believe that CONCACAF, the regional confederation, could legitimately appoint the head of its disciplinary committee. He instead bided his time until, in 1996, CONCACAF did exactly what Blazer had suspected: It elected Luis Figo, Spain's captain, as president of the organization, replacing the incumbent. Blazer saw Figo as a symbol of the financial problems that threatened FIFA. d2c66b5586
