the sex ghost posted:Uefas investigation into the champions league final reminded me of FIFA finding itself not guilty of corruption, then closing the investigation department lol - FIFA has earned its own thread for similar reasons. It’s entertaining as an American when every 4 years, friends and colleagues who don’t follow football at all become remotely aware in the lead up to the World Cup and ask me a ton of questions - this year, I’ve gotten a lot of “what, they’re actually doing a World Cup in Qatar, how, why?” so I get to explain to them the lurid amount of corruption and fraud with FIFA. This led me to share with them two very funny football things I remembered:

CONCACAF Legend Chuck Blazer, who weighed nearly 500 lbs, ran up a $29M credit card bill, cooperated with the US Feds and wore a wire to catch other corrupt goons and most famously, and rented a Manhattan apartment solely for his cats

Arnautovic in my mind will forever be associated with him agitating for a Big Money Move away from West Ham the entire 2 years he was there and ending up in a bad situation in China where nobody wants to go even though the money was decent for a few years and he was probably completely miserable. Also, this:

Aguerdddd signing for West Ham reminded me of the time that out of nowhere they beat out a bunch of teams to sign Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano, like if Brigton turned around tomorrow and announced they signed Lewandowski and then it turning out to be hilariously crooked and West Ham having to compensate everyone involved

also remembering Harry Redknapp cheating on his taxes by opening a bank account in his dog's name, and then defending himself in court by claiming to be a simple East End football manager who couldn't read or write

a part of me hopes there was a moment where someone convinced harry redknapp to involve his dog in tax evasion because 'she can't testify against you in court'

I’m still annoyed Redknapp was passed over for the England job ahead of Euro 2012 because I was going to get a shirt with ROSIE 47 on the back for the pub.

Was reminded the other day of the one armed player who was the star of my local team in the 60s before being shot dead by loyalists in 1974. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/jun/13/the-forgotten-story-of-jimmy-hasty-irish-football-one-armed-wonder There's currently a documentary being made about him and there was a camera crew at last week's game. According to that article, this is the only footage of him that exists, from a Swiss news report on a European Cup game, that appears to have been played on the moon... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3OjYRmdrpk
