El Prez is surely gonna get his now, after all he has allowed the name of FIFA to be dragged through the mud on his watch. Great news.

I wouldn't be so sure ... Who better to continue protecting you than the original architect? They couldn't give a white about the name, just their money, power and influence.

Blatter to be re-elected.

Brazil & South Africa got nothing off FIFA who are an absolute disgrace in need of reform or replacement.

Statement



Agreed. Russias the biggest country in the world and its nivver hosted a WC. Outfuckinrageous.
My problem with them is wtf are they doing in "Europe"? To me Europe stops and Asia starts at the Russian border and Greece/Turkey border.

Russian border used to be half way across Germany

 

[Big Sharp Teeth]

I'm a bit surprised at just how happy this news makes me feel.

 

[Patch Lafayette]

It's probably a forlorn hope but it would be nice for the current regime to crumple with this. Jack Warner is of interest to the authorities according to Radio 5 live this morning. Loved it when Keane put him in his place

 

[two left feet]

That news is almost as fantastic to hear as Bruce getting relegated.

Scottish border used to the River Tyne.

Why would they?

 

[The Omega Man]

Get the fuck in. Blatters arrest hopefully follows.

 

[Al Bundy]

Blatter not amongst them.

What odds that all the ones detained are / were intending to vote for other candidate(s) ?

At least someone nars the score.

Get the fuck in. Blatters arrest hopefully follows.

I think youll be hoping again marra.

 

[Hulkster]

This still won't compel Blatter to stand down or fundamentally change.

The only way that will happen is if a group of leading countries, who depend more on their own commercial deals than on kickbacks and cosy relationships with FIFA, get together and say 'we can't be part of this'.

Which will never happen.

 

[parsonjohn1985]

Why would they?

They hosted the World Cup?

 

[smeg]

Wouldn't surprise me if it was Blatter that reported them to make him look like the good guy and take the blame away from the Qatar bid.

 

[Lord Potts]

If past form is anything to go by I bet the FIFA officials who have been arrested are people that we have never even heard of and that the star witness for the prosecution is old Sepp himself. The poor man will be heartbroken to find such things were going on. Remember to "Vote for Blatter" unless you would like a trip to the States yourself.

 

[TartanMackem]

They hosted the World Cup?

Which they successfully bid for. Why would they get anything else?

 

[Zaragoza]

Why would they?

As hosts.
