If America had pulled a UK and set up 50 separate associations instead of one big one, there still wouldn't be enough votes from North America and Europe to outweigh all the bribed micronations, would there?

There is so much happening so fast that I can't keep up with it all.

* Rumors are flying that Blatter is losing support left and right.

* An Italian newspaper is reporting that they have evidence of match-fixing at the 2002 World Cup.

* The United Nations is considering ending its partnerships with FIFA.

Maybe off topic here, but this FIFA fraud has made me think, If you spend too much time watching soccer on TV your daughter will grow up to find swarthy ethnic soccer guys attractive. Lets all get rid of our TVs and go back to reading classic literature.

Lol the funniest part is that UEFA is not only corrupt so are those entities.

UEFA cares about getting world cups in Europe so they can win them. Nothing more. Nothing less. They are not exactly biting at the bit to have World Cups anywhere but Europe. They are very eurocentric.
