CONMEBOL is the smallest association in terms of FIFA votes... only 10 members.

I was lumping conmebola nd concacaf together they have quite a lot of votes. Not africas 100 or something but still a lot.

You've done well, kiddo.
Full quote from Guardian:

quote:

World Cup votes - criminal proceedings

The Swiss Office of the Attorney-General has announced it is now questioning 10 Fifa executives who took part in voting on the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids. A statement from the Swiss attorney general said criminal proceedings have opened “against persons unknown on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and of money laundering in connection with the allocation of the 2018 and 2022 football World Cups”.

It is absolutely happening! This is the best day of the year so far.

Edit: Full article from the office of the Swiss Attorney General here:

Yessss! This is glorious. May they all be forced to slave away building stadiums in deserts until they drop. Or, you know, FIFA could stop having those built in the first place so no one would ever have to.
