With the FIFA presidency up in the air after Sepp Blatter's election was quickly followed by his resignation amid a massive corruption scandal, many candidates are emerging.

UEFA president Michel Platini, Jordan's Prince Ali and retired Portuguese star Luis Figo are among the favorites to take over the post, but a new contender is throwing his hat into the ring: U.S. soccer superfan Teddy Goalsevelt.

Goalsevelt, the alter ego of American Outlaws chapter president Mike D'Amico, posted a new video announcing his intention to seek the position. He also outlined some of the reasons he is fit for the position, including that he has wrestled a bear and, of course, his magnificent mustache.
