I wonder how much Germany had to bribe FIFA not to fix their game against Argentina.
It makes 7-1 in the semifinal all the more amazing.

A number of people are Tweetering that "Co-Conspirator #4" in the FBI report is likely CONCACAF General Secretary Enrique Sanz, who perhaps not coincidentally was given a leave of absence today.

Yeah they don't go to to much effort to hide their identities

In or about and between July 2012 and the present, Co-Conspirator #4 was employed as the general secretary of CONCACAF.

Uh oh Loretta better go into witness protection with muggles.

Or maybe Blatter is like Joker in the Dark Knight, taking down the FIFA mob around him.

Every country that has ever been to a world cup could vote against Blatter and he would still win.

FIFA isn't going to improve until you take power away from the tiny countries, and they aren't about to vote away their power and source of bribes.

Turn FIFA into a regular corporation* with the national federations being shareholders and everything would out fine.

This is the primary reason everyone should be paying more attention to the Swiss investigation rather than the US DOJ's. America just doesn't have the jurisdiction to go after the lovely corrupt African or Asian countries (they don't meet in the US first of all, and most funnel money through non-American banks). Switzerland on the other hand could potentially uncover all of those connections.

Otherwise the only the problem of the small corruptable countries gets fixed is if the big federations break off and form their own organization. Maybe that's possible if the US DOJ can really get to the top but I doubt it. The only way FIFA is part of a future where the lovely countries aren't voting is if the Swiss investigation blows the whole thing wide open.

It will never happen, but UEFA leaving with a couple non-corrupt football powers (Australia? USA? Japan? Costa Rica? You start to see the problem here) but kept same number of spots open for each federation if the rest of world is interested.
