International organisation corrupt, breaking news.

Blatter helped change the face of international football for the better. He made sure world cups were played in Asia and Africa. His vision for football was solid. Has been solid. Unfortunately for him the people around him, who I'm pretty sure he had little say over, did what most capitalist cunts do in similar positions.

Blatter is not at fault and I'll be proved right on this eventually.

This reminds me of ethics class in Uni where I had to argue in defense of Mengele's experiements.

Are you mental? Nobody wanted those things. They wanted traditions, the same grounds, the same countries. Those world cups were fantastic, if only because it opened the sport to those who thought they'd never see the greatest players play on their continent. If you think those world cups had no effect on the global game I'll assume you're American.

If you don't think he already knew the outcome of that vote before it was cast and also knew that a token vote for the US would deflect heat from him, then you're as dumb as your posts have been.

Even if Blatter was always only acting in good faith to let his entire organiation underneath him be run so corruptly is negligent as hell.


Maybe you can't make the argument that he deserves prosecution but if he was 100% innocent and let things go on to that level without his knowledge then he shouldn't be running anything.

Sepp Blatter was so against the Qatar WC bid that he never came out and said anything bad about it, he just secretly voted for the US bid. A true hero.

Also - Sepp and Havelange only gave the world cup to developing countries because they needed those votes to stay in power to keep collecting bribes and kickbacks.

That is just hearsay and you should be ashamed of making such assumptions. Blatter did nothing wrong and there is no way he could've known. How do I know? Because he stated so. That's first hand knowledge.

Ecclestone said: "I don't think he should have ever stepped down. I don't think he should have been challenged.
"If people allegedly have been corrupted to make things happen in their country, it's good."
The 85-year-old added: "It's a tax football had to pay."
