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.

I'd be legit surprised if Blatter is elected tomorrow at this rate especially if that 2002 WC story is real.

Blatter is going to be elected by like a 100 vote margin.

Nothing more. Nothing less. They are not exactly biting at the bit to have World Cups anywhere but Europe. They are very eurocentric.

News sites are saying Uruguay is voting for the prince. Looks like Blatter is losing his grasp of small poo poo countries too. I'm sure we'll vote for Blatter anyway at the last minute.
