FIFA's response is that he made an agreement to be at the opening ceremony and he better be there.

Doesn't sound like that to me. From the BBC Sport website
Quote:Fifa president Sepp Blatter has written to Nelson Mandela after the death of the former South African president's 13-year-old great-granddaughter in a car crash on Thursday. Blatter described it as "unspeakably tragic", but said Mandela will "be with us in spirit [for the opening ceremony and game] for which we are incredibly grateful."
