Looks like things might actually finally happen in the heirachy of FIFA.
They've suspended Vice-Preisdent Jack Warner, and he's pissed off so he's naming and shaming people, Mohammed Bin Hammam, the guy who was running against Blatter for presidency has been suspended and accused of buying the World Cup for Qatar. He instantly said if he was guilty then Blatter was, and wanted him investigated.
Only bad thing is that the "FIFA Ethics commitee" - Oxymoron there, has apparently cleared Blatter.
But all this is looking like it could snowball and hopefully bring down FIFA from the inside!
I doubt it'll have any lasting effect, but if Qatar are found to have bought the 2022 world cup, it could throw the whole voting process into question, and who knows what from there

They will get rid of those two and then it will be back to normal.
The fact that Blatter said there is "no issue" over the award of 2022 to Qatar yet thats exactly what all the issues with Hammam is about says it all

I'm hoping that all the "i'm telling on you" carries on.
But Blatter will get his "re-election" tomorrow, and everything will go back to normal. It's a shame the rest of europe doesn't seem to agree with our viewpoint, despite the "evidence" that the press and our FA have pointed about, about the farcical way the governing body is run.
The 2022 World Cup WON'T be re-drawn, it'll still be Qatar.
It is good that these things have come to light and that CocaCola and Adidas, two of the biggest sponsors of FIFA are getting pissed off with it though

The Argentinian FIFA delegate had this to say 
In an interview with a German press agency yesterday, Grondona called England "pirates" and added: "Yes, I voted for Qatar, because a vote for the US would be like a vote for England. And that is not possible. "But with the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left."

Love the fact they give it the biggun, then we send in a few Harriers and Paras and within a few days they are running off with their tails between their legs.
These countries haven't the balls to take us on.

So anyway, yeah, Blatter is getting voted back in, we bitched about it all trying to get the vote postponed, got massive support... 17 votes for postponing, 171 for carrying on like nothing has ever happened.
But it's ok though, the 2026 World Cup will be voted for all 208 delegated, so even more countries who hate us and will never vote for us or anything we stand for.

Blatter reminds me of Hitler or Mugabe, gets rid of the opposition and carries on getting voted in by people who he has bribed

Whilst i agree FIFA needs a proper sort out we should be sorting out something closer to home.
The FA are a complete shambles too.

Scummy little corrupt organisation, quite how this stuff is allowed to go by unchallenged by someone/anyone is quite frankly shocking.
