Serious Fraud Office is “actively assessing material in its possession and ready to assist international criminal investigations” in relation to Fifa.

quote:Oh it’s all kicking off now. We know that the Swiss authorities are investigating the bidding process behind the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but the president of the Congolese FA and Fifa executive committee member, Constant Omari, has now told French radio RTL that Germany bought the right the host the 2006 World Cup!

Guess why the German FA is keeping shut about it. There's absolutely no way to get a World Cup from FIFA without bribing everyone (or using it to get votes from Africa).

Constant Omari's move is to not deny that there's endemic corruption in the organization, but instead to freak out and make the scope of the corruption bigger...ostensibly contradicting everything that Blatter said in his president's speech ftw

I think Blatter is a symptom rather than the problem itself. The problem with FIFA is that it is one country, one vote. That means that China, a country of 1.4bln people, has same number of votes as the Faroe Islands, which isn't even independent and has only 50k people. Same also holds true for footballing giants - Germany, Brazil, etc, have same votes as Nepal. Even if Blatter is toppled, this structural problem is going to remain. The smaller federations will always be susceptable to influence - whether its bribes or pressure (same thing happens at the UN - China and Taiwan respectively bribe small countries to vote for them and against the other). FIFA needs a completely new governance structure to deal with this, but there is no way the turkeys will vote for christmas

Apparently this Israel issue is actually getting quite interesting:quote:The Guardian’s Peter Beaumont has more on the Palestinian motion to have Israel suspended from Fifa. With the vote to come in the next couple of hours or so, it looks as though it will go down to the wire. I have little doubt that Blazer ate all of it.
