Didn't the lying shitbag only get elected in 2011 because he promised it'd be his last term and he just wanted a couple more years to "finish what he started"?

Yep.

Also from The Guardian, "Brazil's government is investigating whether Fifa's accommodation agency Match – co-owned by Sepp Blatter's nephew's firm – used "cartel" practices to fix hotel prices, with some rates raised 500%. Match deny wrongdoing."

The funny part is, a World Cup in Antartica is far more feasible than one in Qatar. It would still cost fucktons of money, but with powerful enough under-soil heating, along with high-powered halogen heaters at pitchside and in the stands, you could probably make conditions nicer than they are in St James Park on boxing day tbh.

You could probably just go whole hog and do indoors stadiums (with roofs on most modern stadiums now I can't see FIFA having a problem with it), and seeing as artificial turf is allowed in UEFA competitions there's no need to have undersoil heating. It'd be about as close you could get to having a "neutral" world cup.

Antarctica would be a good shout if they moved to 40 teams because if you held it in the Antarctic summer you could play games 24 hours a day without artificial lighting.

They would probably find some way to make it 10 4 team groups so that Sep's son and Match Accomodation could profiteer even more than expected but saying Surprise 2 more venues to Russia might cause some annoyance.

Except the downside is that you're more likely to see more of the same teams make the round of sixteen each World Cup.

The best thing about 4 team groups is when an outside team manages 4 points and slips through to the knockout stages and scalps some favourites while the rest of the world smiles like it's watching otters hold hands.

Sepp literally wants to reduce the chance of a Bulgaria or Croatia or South Korea going feral in the knock outs. He never wants to see Greece make Ronaldo cry again. I can't stand for this.

Actually it's Platini who just called for a 40-nation World Cup.
