It's especially funny because he's not only wrong from a footballing perspective but also the rouble has literally halved versus the dollar in the last year

If Blatter doesn't run, whoever he decides to back in the election will win. The candidate he picks will be the man most likely to be a carbon copy of Blatter, making the entire thing pointless. He may as well stay until he dies.

We've got an official death toll, folks!The Guardian posted:Nepalese migrants building the infrastructure to host the 2022 World Cup have died at a rate of one every two days in 2014 – despite Qatar’s promises to improve their working conditions, the Guardian has learned.

"he was being investigated over his links to the country’s Aspire Academy and e-mails exchanged with its director regarding the possibility of unpaid internships for his son, nephew and brother-in-law." You've got to be kidding... unpaid internships?

The misconduct here is that he didn't get his son a six figure internship. Dreadful incompetence

So basically it went: 1. he asked Aspire to provide free internships for his kids. 2. Aspire said no 3. Sepp learns he might run against him in the next election 4. CORRUPTION!!!

I love Sepp Blatter. He's a genius, like a really good Bond villain. He manages to have more dirt on everyone than they have on him. He even had the foresight to not vote for Qatar because now that's one more thing that makes him look like he's less corrupt than everyone else in FIFA. Sepp you are my hero

This is definitely the best part of the article: quote:Some within Qatar suggest the cardiac arrest death rates could be comparable to those among Nepalese workers of a similar age at home. The Indian embassy argued this year that the number of deaths was in line with the average in their home country. But in the absence of robust research or any attempt to catalogue the cause of death, human rights organisations say it is impossible to properly compare figures. I mean is it so hard to believe that out of the 67 people, who were statistically going to die back home, all of them ended up working in Qatar? At least they'll know they're turning things around when the guy who operates the "This many days since a statistically probable death" sign gets to use the number 3.

He uses his position to give his son every possible contract, engages in the flogging of distributed tickets (which he distributes), was outed by interpol as accepting bribes as understudy to Havelange, and as bhyo said lives in Switzerland. and runs an organisation with a $4bn tax-free reserve. If anyone thinks we'll ever know how much money he has you're insane.
