MisterBadIdea posted:Out of curiosity, if Sepp Blatter was removed from the situation tomorrow, like if he was thrown in jail or the subject of a gangland assassination (both seem equally likely), who would be most likely to replace him? Jepp Fatter, some other rich corrupt piece of poo poo.

Also, reminder that FIFA has an official "Ethics Committee" and the Senior Vice-President of FIFA, Julio Grondona, says poo poo like this:quote:Yes, I voted for Qatar, because a vote for the US would be like a vote for England, and that is not possible [...] But with the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left. If only The FA gave back the Falklands. Also, this: quote:I do not believe a Jew can ever be a referee at this level. It's hard work and, you know, Jews don't like hard work.

Oh, what a surprise!quote:Following a two-day hearing in Zurich, the FIFA Appeal Committee has decided to impose on Vernon Manilal Fernando a lifetime ban from taking part in any kind of football-related activity at national and international level. quote:He certainly throws his considerable weight around in some unexpected places. Like Port of Spain, Trinidad, in May this year, where for reasons yet to be adequately explained he arrived for a Caribbean Football Union meeting on a private jet from Doha in the company of [then] AFC president Mohamed Bin Hammam and fellow FIFA ex-co members Worawi Makudi and Hany Abo Rida. It was there he proceeded to get caught up in that alleged bribery business that brought down the flashy Qatari. This. Is. All. hosed.

The only people who don't see the need for reform are the people voting.

blueyedevil posted:Blatter was always against Qatar holding the World Cup. The real evil twats are Platini and the European members of FIFA who accepted Qatari bribes and deals for massive club sponsorships in exchange for their votes. This might be true, but don't even start to think that Blatter isn't a real evil twat. Every single person to ever vote for Blatter is a real evil twat, even when he was the only one running.

That lovely FIFA movie cost $27 million. I'm sure they could've paid for a few grass fields with that money.

vyelkin posted:I'd be very surprised if the report has ever been on a computer that has internet access. An organization as wealthy as FIFA knows that a little investment in cyber-security now (especially in the age of the NSA and Russian hackers stealing like a million credit card numbers a week) is worth a lot when the report doesn't get stolen and leaked, and their sponsors don't desert en masse. At the same time, I'd be very surprised if it hasn't been on a computer with internet. That poo poo is everywhere these days!
