All the europeans know is graft and corruption, thats why FIFA should be taken over by an Anglo country because otherwise its just fraud and waste.

Preferably with IMF oversight, investment banking support, and a Fitch rating. Also let me tell you about our new line of securitized products, ranging from company scrip housing MBS, to lucrative shorts on potential host countries' medium term bonds.

A reminder that the cool & good non-World Cup organizing but Man City owning Abu Dhabi ruling family had one of its members run over an 'employee' with his SUV and shooting at the dude with an assault rifle. This was captured on video. Also, their figurehead president is a closeted homo and has mysteriously been held in an artificial coma for more than a year now while his brother hobnobs with the world's most powerful; a leaked US embassy cable calling him the shadow leader of the country or something. No one openly acknowledges these things.

2022 would be in better hands with Iran than with Gulf Arabs.

Ok here's a idea.

Weight voting so that only the top 10 teams based on ranking from each federation get a full vote.

Everyone else get's their votes cut. 10-20 get half a vote. 20-30 get a quarter vote. 30-40 get 1/8th vote. 40+ get 1/10th vote. Total votes are rounded up.

UEFA = 19 Votes
Conmebol = 10 Votes
Concacaf = 19 Votes
CAF = 19 Votes
AFC = 19 Votes
OFC = 11 Votes


15+2.5+1.25+1

Weighted Vote for Blatter vs Ali

Ali = 30
Blatter = 53

Voting is further weighted by combined ranking of top 3 teams in each federation. The top 2 federations keep same amount of votes. 3rd and 4th lose 2 votes. 5th loses 4 votes. 6th loses 6 votes.

UEFA = 19 Votes
Conmebol = 10 Votes
Concacaf = 17 votes
AFC = 17 Votes
CAF = 15 Votes
OFC = 5 Votes

Ali = 38
Blatter = 45

Voting is finally weighted by population to ranking ratio. The federation with the highest population to rank ratio receives 3 extra votes. The federation with the second receives 2 extra votes. All other federation are penalized 1 point. These are rewarded to the countries with the lowest population to ranking ratio.

Uefa = 21 Votes
Conmebol = 13 Votes
Concacaf = 16 Votes
AFC = 16 Votes
CAF = 14 Votes
OFC = 4 Votes

Ali = 41
Blatter = 43
