I don't blame em' I mean they do run for a living... you gotta share the wealth. Even though I watch world soccer(friendlies, etc.)
FIFA has cleared itself
FIFA has been at the center of corruption investigations for years, but the organization has long dismissed allegations that top officials were on the take.

In December, FIFA's Ethics Committee said it was closing its investigation into alleged corruption in the 2018 and 2022 bidding process that awarded the World Cup to Russia and Qatar, respectively.
Criticism immediately followed. There were allegations of corruption in the bidding process. Qatar's oppressive heat also drew ridicule, as did its labor rights record.
FIFA said its investigation found no corruption and it had no reason to reopen the bidding process.
In December 2012, FIFA banned for life bin Hammam, the Qatari member of its top governing body who had previously been suspended along with Warner for ethics violations.

Ahh, and a motive arises. Things have come full circle. Thanks everyone, I think I can close this thread now. It was all about the UK and USA seeking their respective opportunities to host the upcoming World Cups!
That was a real motive and anyone with an IQ of more than 60 would be able to understand it. But things are not going to be that easy for the NATO lobby. I don't think that they'll be able to get the necessary two-third vote, to move these world cups to the UK and the USA respectively. Better luck next time!
New news, sounds like the US is proposing that the Qatar and Russia World Cup host awards be revoked, claiming that they were earned through bribes. This would put both of these World Cup host dates up for reassignment to other countries!
Wonderful. So the 2018 World Cup will be hosted in the United Kingdom (as they were the runners up in the vote for hosting rights), and the 2022 World Cup will be hosted in the United States. The American domination of FIFA is now complete. Let me see if Domenico Scala holds enough power to put in practise what he says.

Well, when you´re dealing with criminals with a long and very solid history of all sorts of scams obviously every time they begin positioning themselves for a new one you look for a motive. Which never is very hard to spot of course.

Yes, and being thoroughly corrupt themselves they´ll gather support with their usual methods; threats, coercion and bribery.
The gloves are off'
Jack Warner is one of 14 people charged by US prosecutors over alleged corruption at Fifa.
The US Justice department alleges the 14 accepted bribes and kickbacks estimated at more than $150m (£97m) over a 24-year period.
Mr Warner denies all charges of corruption.

Germany delivered a shipment of rocket-propelled grenades to Saudi Arabia in exchange for support for its bid to host the 2006 FIFA World Cup, German media reported Friday.
This is nothing when compared to the foul pay used by the United States, to get the hosting rights for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. They used a mix of carrot and stick, by blackmailing some of the potential hosts to withdraw from the race, and tried to bribe some of the voting members by offering loans and grants. At that time, Blatter also played his part, helping the US to win the rights.
Well, i´m sure that the corruption back then was as always for god, country, Wall Street and democracy so it
wasn´t really corruption. Righteous men deserve their just returns.

From what I understand from the news, Americans are no longer content to simply mock soccer and are now arresting everyone responsible.
Arresting everyone: it's what America does.
They cannot charge FIFA for any corruptions, since there is no American federal involvement in FIFA. FIFA is headquartered in Zurich, and is an association established under the Laws of Switzerland. FIFA's supreme body is the FIFA Congress, an assembly made up of representatives from each affiliated member association. Looking at above it clarifies everything, however, US can sue legally but will fail to win over against FIFA Completely.
.....As far back as 2005, Blatter has refused to get embroiled in Washington’s geopolitical chess game(s). Under him FIFA refused to surrender to the US Department of State’s demands that Iran’s team be blocked from participating World Cup 2006 or demands that Palestine not be admitted into FIFA. FIFA’s geopolitical offenses, however, may have reached a tipping point..... much more

So it is going to affect Palestine and Iran the most. That makes me suspicious about the additional players, other than the United States. That said, I don't think that the Americans will get the necessary two-third vote to expel Iran. Iran is having friendly relations with a large number of nations. Hosting rights for the 2018 World Cup, also seems to be safe with Russia (for now). The only losers are going to be Palestine.
Yes, and apartheid and racism won´t be any problem at all and there´ll be no sanctions about that unless it´s deemed to be practiced by those unfriendly to U.S. corporate and political interests.

I don't want any American to be FIFA president. My choice is just Michel Platini, and he is a French. You can look his track record and that's not related with America. It's okay if you hate US, I respect that.
No problem with Michel Platini as the president, although I fear that he will scuttle the globalization of the game (esp. in regions such as Africa and Asia) and will concentrate the power in the hands of Europeans and Americans. But he should get the necessary two-thirds vote, and he should not indulge in any blackmail tactics.
Why do you so worry about the vote? We have known about two-thirds vote rule. We are talking about Platini's ability now as a leader an organization. And he is most suitable candidate for FIFA president. You can make speculation about US action behind him, but you can't ignore his track records.

If I hate the United States so much, then I have my own reasons for that. A democratically elected president has been forced to step down as a result of blackmailing by the US, and a US-puppet is about to take up that post. I don't like the arrogance and disdain shown by the Americans. If you want an American as the FIFA president, then get him elected through democratic means, not through the backdoor.

Didn't I read on a "related article" on FB that said everyone that was looked at for corruption are back at work and are no longer being looked at?
