They've proven time and time again that guerrilla warfare isn't their strong point. There are plenty lesser nations that can put up quite a fight and deliver a potential upset.

Crazy Ted posted:Well, if FIFA decided to get real cocky and ask the U.S. to temporarily suspend parts of its constitution like it did with South Africa such a situation would likely happen. Considering that the parts that were suspended dealt with the right to strike and to organize protests around the stadiums, that would not be an issue at all in the US case.

Depardieu would have made a better blatter, he looks like a Hutt Jesus that movie looks dreadful. This is like some rewriting of history where Blatters and scum are the good guys. Kurtofan fucked around with this message at 08:29 on May 22, 2014 |

I'm dumb and forgot which one was Mr. Orange. That's not the dude who cuts the random guy's ear off, that was Michael Madsen. Still Sepp Blatter cutting off some random person's ear seems fairly likely.

It's somehow comforting to know that even the French recognise that platini is a total fuckwit.

Qatar World Cup: '$5m payments to officials' corruption claim http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27652181 Fifa is facing fresh allegations of corruption over its controversial decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar. The Sunday Times has obtained millions of secret documents - emails, letters and bank transfers - which it alleges are proof that the disgraced Qatari football official Mohamed Bin Hammam made payments totalling $5m to football officials in return for their support for the Qatar bid.
