Apparently Saudi Arabia has issued 10 demands to Qatar.

1. Immediately break diplomatic relations with Iran.
2. Expel all Hamas members.
3. Freeze bank accounts of Hamas members and stop dealing with them.
4. Expel all Muslim Brotherhood members from Qatar.
5. Expel anti-GCC elements.
6. End support of 'terrorist organisations.'
7. Stop interfering in Egyptian affairs.
8. Cease broadcasting the Al Jazeera news channel.
9. Apologise to all Gulf governments for 'abuses' by Al Jazeera.
10. Qatar must pledge that will not carry out any actions that contradict the policies of the GCC and adhere to its charter.

I love how the Saudi football federation is now claiming it was all some kind of hilarious misunderstanding with no harm intended, when the article states that

quote:

the Asian Football Confederation has approved the minute’s silence against the wishes of travelling Saudi officials. He said the Football Federation of Australia “tried to reason” with the Saudis but were unable to persuade them to participate in the tribute.

My best part is how they said they didn't want to do it as Saudi's don't recognise a minutes silence as a meaningful tribute, but then they've done it plenty of times before at other sports.

Gianni Infantino, the Fifa president, was under investigation by the organisation’s ethics committee for more than one separate alleged instance of malpractice when he organised the sudden removal of the committee chairmen and members last month.

The Guardian has learned that the Swiss prosecutor Cornel Borbély, who was chairman of the ethics committee’s “investigatory chamber”, had begun examining complaints that Infantino and the Fifa general secretary, Fatma Samoura, improperly sought to influence the election in March of their favoured candidate for president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Ahmad Ahmad .

In a surprise to no one, Blatter thinks whistleblowers are bad.

He also doesn't understand racketeering charges:

quote:

Blatter said he accepted that the investigation had found evidence of corruption but pointed the finger at the individual confederations and said: "Why the hell then should the FIFA president bear all the charges, the responsibility and the blame?"
