FIFA corruption

Biggus

Err this is all proceeding under the assumption that the corrupt mandarins who supported Blatter and who think that sarcrificing him will ensure business as usual will be swept away, and a new orginisation put in its place.

I'm guessing this will all result in far, far less upheaval than you're all talking about.

Corruption or no corruption, I'd like to see the Qatar WC shut down for the deaths of all those temp visa workers from Nepal. That shit is murderous and disgraceful.

Biggus

Well thats right, if that was taking place in a civilised country that would be issue rather than who was getting kickbacks,

Biggus

Andrew Jennings, what a character.

Chuck Blazer's testimony has been released. Wow!

From Dan Roan's twitter...

"I & others on FIFA Exco agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with selection of S Africa as host nation."

"..in 93 I & others agreed to accept bribes & kickbacks in conjunction with b'cast & other rights to 98, '00, 02 & 03 Gold Cups"

"I agreed with other persons in 92 to facilitate the acceptance of a bribe in conjunction with selection of host nation for '98 WC"

Here's the whole thing.

I just love that the testimony of a man called Chuck Blazer is bringing them down.

Mirth

Wow.

Biggus

😆

I like the way Blatter is being shown the door into the afterlife.

The 98 World Cup admission is interesting. France voted for Blatter a couple of days ago. Sarkozy told/ordered Platini to change his vote for 2022 from the US to Quatar.

Mirth

So Platini was head of the organizing committee for the 1998 WC, I wonder if they'll get any dirt on him. 😆

This whole thing is a farce really.

Biggus

Chuck Blazer.

Mirth

The funny this is that the real Chuck Blazer looks like a bad Santa.

I love how South Africa are saying it wasn't a bribe, they just decided to help out their friends in the carribian 😆

I can't believe we had to put up with the vuvuzelas because of this shit.

THE COURT: There are ten charges, if I am not mistaken, ten charges in total -
THE DEFENDANT: That is correct.

THE COURT: Involving these organizations. I don't know how you pronounce it, FIFA.

MR. NORRIS: FIFA, Your Honor.

😆

Fair play to the guy, he has been investigated them for years and finally got to see all his efforts pay off. Must feel quite proud that all those years worth of effort hasn't gone to waste.

The bribe from 1998 is from Morocco and Blazer voted for them. Nothing about France at the moment!
