FIFA officials arrested.

Surely he travels about a bit though. I'm sure they'll get their man.

Not been in the States for 4-5 years though apparently, another crazy coincidence.

Be interesting to see what this further bad news he was hinting at turns out to be. Although instinct tells me Sepp will have kept his own hands relatively clean while presiding over the whole clusterfuck.

Uefa World Cup would kill fifa stone dead. Still too many vested interests for that to happen any time soon though imo.

Will never happen, just bullshit from the big boys treating the smaller countries like morons with their dunmy threats.

UEFA need to grow a pair and say no to this Qatar shambles, Boycotting will be the only option as corrupt FIFA will never change it now. There has to be a complete breakaway with UEFA having their own invitation tourney in the summer, let them have their winter bollocks in this Islamist dump. Surely nobody will go anyway.

Thinking too highly of UEFA I think.

Glad Sepp Blatter won, right-wing press with be raging.

Hilarious how outraged people are pretending to be. Does anyone actually think that the other boy (Prince Ali bin Hussein of Jordan the third son of King Hussein of Jordan, and the second child of the king by his third wife, Queen Alia) would've better represented the people.

People bleating about lack of democracy in FIFA despite the fact that Blatter has been elected by a democratic vote against a guy who's inherited position of power comes from his families claim to descended from the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Irony.

Fair enough, concern over FIFA's conduct with regards to Qatar's human rights issues are warranted however human rights are also an area of concern in Jordan.

I absolutely agree with you point about the Jordanian prince fella - but to take the opposite view on Blatter as a result is simply moronic.

Might as well back the guy who is unproven in this sort of situation. It could end up that Prince Ali is indeed just another corrupt dictator, but on the other hand he could be someone who might actually do some good for the game in a way that doesn't involve envelopes full of cash for fat cats from shitty little countries.

With Blatter, you know what you're getting, which is a full scale thundercunt.

I don't foresee anything fundamental happening as regards FIFA... Some new people will come in, to fill the shoes of those facing extradition and legal actions - they and Blatter will say "those people and what they did are terrible, we're different". And the dodgy-ness will proceed as before.

If the investigations into 2018 & 2022 produce something really clear regarding corruption then maybe Qatar could be in some doubt, but I don't see it.

I don't really see what the European nations can do... It is easy to talk about boycotting World Cups, resigning en masse and organising your own rival tournament, and so on, but a heck of a step to actually do it. From the voting it seems like the only FAs who have a big issue are the Europeans, some other major countries like USA / Australia / Japan, and the odd principled FA elsewhere. Some of the 73 votes would be the Prince's local Asian allies.

It's gone on long before Blatter became president of FIFA - or have we all forgotten that crook Joao Havelange?

I could actually see it happening - not out of any urge to get rid of corruption but to shaft the Africans and Asians who many in UEFA think get far too big a share of the pot.

This has nothing to do with right and left wing. And if you think votes that were won with brown envelopes (like Egypt's) is democratic than you clearly are either clueless or Sepp Blatter.
