    FIFA contest heats up

     FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- It looks like Blatter vs. Johansson.
     Sepp Blatter, general secretary of FIFA, is expected to announce his candidacy for the job of president of soccer's world governing body in Paris on Monday.
     Joao Havelange, the Brazilian chief of FIFA, is stepping down in June after 24 years.
     The only candidate to have declared for the job is UEFA president Lennart Johansson of Sweden, who reportedly has the backing of European and African national federations.
