I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

A serious question: Given that the FIFA officials are being done for corruption for taking bribes, is anything being done to the people that gave them the bribes? (i.e. the Qataris, the French, the Germans, the Russians, etc.)

well if you'd read literally any of the news coverage regarding this, you'd see that many of the indicted individuals were those who paid bribes, not just those who solicited or accepted them

I get all of my information exclusively from this thread which is why I'm convinced Blatter did nothing wrong.

Bender: "I was God once." God: "Yes, I saw. You were doing well until everyone died."

You know what, I love Sepp Blatter. He has trolled the world for years, makes tons of money, and bangs hot chicks. I want to be him when I grow up.

In regards to Morocco's failed 1994 World Cup bid: “In the opinion of the executive committee, perhaps it was wiser to accept the infrastructure that was existing than the ones that were planned,” said FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who was then general secretary. “Also consider … that the World Cup is not a development program for the basic infrastructure of a country.”

Harold Mayne-Nicholls handed seven-year ban by Fifa’s ethics committee

Fifa’s ethics committee has banned Harold Mayne-Nicholls, the Chilean who led the inspection teams for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, for seven years. He ranked Qatar’s as the only “high risk” option of the nine bidders yet it went on to controversially be chosen as the host of the 2022 tournament.

The former head of the Chilean football association, who also at one stage considered standing against Sepp Blatter for the Fifa presidency, was being investigated over an email exchange with the head of Qatar’s Aspire Academy. During the bidding process, Mayne-Nicholls asked if his sons might be able to train there at his expense and also inquired about opportunities for his brother-in-law, a tennis coach. Nothing came of the exchange and yet now Mayne-Nicholls has been banned for seven years.

Mayne-Nicholls was one of five football officials against whom cases were opened in the wake of the publication of a controversial summary of Michael Garcia’s report into World Cup bidding. Garcia subsequently resigned as head of the investigatory arm of Fifa’s ethics committee in protest at the way his 430-page report had been summarised.

The remaining outstanding cases are against Spain’s Fifa vice-president Ángel María Villar Llona, Thailand’s Worawi Makudi and Franz Beckenbauer, who has since retired from Fifa.

Mayne-Nicholls was incredulous that he was being investigated given that he was critical of Qatar’s suitability in his final report and that nothing came of the exchanges with Aspire.

“For me it’s really strange that [the ethics committee] are losing energy, money and time over such an investigation but those are the rules and I have to follow them,” he said last year.

Seems like the only reason someone would waive their right to fight extradition would be if they'd worked out a deal to cooperate with the investigation, right?

They should get Tim Roth to play Blatter again except with some obvious differences in the story and character portrayal.

Mostly because it would piss off Sepp no end.

If they gave Roth a huge paunch and told him to make the character like something between Fagin and Gollum I am pretty sure he could pull it off.
