Agreed except only Northern Europeans, North Americans and maybe the good Asians get to vote, not racist at all but the rest of the world has repeatedly proven it can't be trusted imo.

Blatter did nothing wrong

vyelkin

lmao

quote:

  • An attack on the Fifa ethics committee for failing him and imposing a suspension that was “total nonsense … I put these people into the office, where they are now, and they don’t even have had the courage to listen.”

...

On how Qatar ended up hosting a World Cup, Blatter claimed there was an agreement in place before the voting began that the 2018 tournament would go to Russia and 2022 to the USA, until Platini intervened.

In comments that will provoke further controversy over World Cup bidding – with England, Spain/Portugal and Belgium/Holland having spent tens of millions of pounds on the process – Blatter said: “In 2010 we had a discussion of the World Cup and then we went to a double decision. For the World Cups it was agreed that we go to Russia because it’s never been in Russia, eastern Europe, and for 2022 we go back to America. And so we will have the World Cup in the two biggest political powers.

“And everything was good until the moment when Sarkozy came in a meeting with the crown prince of Qatar, who is now the ruler of Qatar. And at a lunch afterwards with Mr Platini he said it would be good to go to Qatar. And this has changed all pattern. There was an election by secret ballot. Four votes from Europe went away from the USA and so the result was fourteen to eight. If you put the four votes, it would have been twelve to ten. If the USA was given the World Cup, we would only speak about the wonderful World Cup 2018 in Russia and we would not speak about any problems at Fifa.”

It's all Platini's fault. Everything you ever disliked about FIFA? Blame Platini.

He's not actually admitting to anything illegal. If FIFA wants to figure out who gets the world cup before the voting they're free to do it, but he's basically admitting that the world cup selection process is a farce and that makes his position untenable.

I'm pretty sure you'd have a pretty strong case for civil damages if you were a bidding party in a predetermined process. Aside from that, why would they rig a selection of there was nothing in it for them? I don't think it's criminal in and of itself but if there is any sort of personal gain I would wager that you get into criminal territory.

The bidding process has always been about who bribed the most except when Blatter had a horse in it, like South Africa for 2006 (the reason the fat gently caress still pissed at the German FA lmao). So it's predetermined in that votes are already known prior to the selection.
