Hum yeah I doubt the Beijing games were deathless.

I would say that Europe should have the most votes, South America the 2nd, Asia the 3rd, Africa the 4th and North America last but they're all as corrupt as each other. Its just cheaper to bribe the smaller nations than say, the Italian FA.

At this point Blatter knows that if he was to ever leave office, his successor will just utterly ream him for all the corrupt poo poo hes done purely to cement their position.

He knows he needs to leave that office in a coffin or he'll be in prison.
