morpeth mag Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Putin talking out his arse, saying the US should've stayed out of it given nowt happened on their soil. Obviously needs to read up on US law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Corrupt_Practices_Act Completely affects them if bribes were being made in US dollars, which presumably they were. He's worried that his kick backs might be in dollars, in a Swiss bank account, and that the next visit abroad might require a US visa extension.

LucaAltieri Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 While we're fiercely debating the subject of who should/shouldn't be allowed to host a WC, I'd like to see first-time hosts Colombia, Australia/NZ, Canada, Belgium/Netherlands, and Morocco at some point. Jesus, a world cup in Colombia. You couldn't select Livermore for that squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 FIFA must be bricking it now. FBI making serious plays here. How the fuck is Blatter not resigned over this? It's all happened on HIS watch. Any organisation where stuff like this happens the head of it steps down. It's the respectful thing to do to kick off change for good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Does Blatter even need cash bribes tho ? I bet his FIFA expense account pays for every thing him and his family possibly need. It might be a bit harder to nail him but I hope they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 FIFA is so currupt that Blatter is in an impregnable position. Can only hope that some squealing goes on and he has to go. If not then EUFA should pull out and start again. In the present set up, when Blatter goes he'll simply hand pick his successor and tell his cronies to vote for them.

cubaricho Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'm still incredulous that they thought they would get away with giving the world cups to Russia and Qatar and not get caught. Like they seriously thought they were totally immune or something. It was clear as day that they were bribed when they gave the WCs to those two countries in the same vote. Talk about having blinders on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Everybody in the world wants Blatter gone, apart from himself and halfway dozen of his pals. In any other business he'd be long gone.

Most FA's want him to stay, he will win comfortably tomorrow, even a fair amount of Europeans will vote for him. This is the problem, I think this goes way beyond FIFA, Blatter, and a few of his mates. The FBI will make their arrests but after that it is up to the big European nations to be bullies and force change, make everyone else get in line, even if that means fucking up the next 2 world cups for everyone.

Jackie Broon Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Does Blatter even need cash bribes tho ? I bet his FIFA expense account pays for every thing him and his family possibly need. It might be a bit harder to nail him but I hope they do. I get the impression that Blatter's predilection is power rather than more and more money. He's established and maintained that power by turning a blind eye to others indulging their predilection for money. So it may well be that nothing is directly traceable back to him.

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 This been posted? FIFA scandal stretches to Traffic, agency involved in Barça's Douglas signing Brazilian agency Traffic, who were involved in Barcelona's signings of Henrique, Keirrison and Douglas, is under suspicion for bribing FIFA officials. The multinational marketing company, which has subsidaries such as the football agency Traffic Sport International, has been caught up in the investiagtion which saw several FIFA officials arrested on Wednesday morning. Traffic's owner and founder, Jose Hawilla, is one of the men who is suggested to have paid the FIFA officials in order to win contracts. The Brazilian subsidary of traffic is an old acquaintace of FA Barcelona, with several players, including Douglas last summer, being signed through them. However, the signings have always been linked with poor performances. According to sources close to the investigation, Hawilla is accused of paying officials in order to gain sponsorship deals and the television rights to various tournaments in the CONCACAF region.
