I read the headline last night just before I went to bed and was convinced I was hallucinating.

With so many senior officials indicted in this round, many of whom have served on the executive committee, there's no way that some of them don't provide more material to the FBI. If I were any FIFA official who'd done something shady in the past twenty years, I'd start looking very closely at who has extradition treaties with the US and Switzerland.

On another note, Michael Garcia is probably having the time of his life.

Yeah, but the DoJ doesn't care about FIFA's influence now. FIFA is dealing with an enemy that it can't bribe, ignore, or threaten. It functions according to rules that FIFA doesn't know how to play by. All the prosecutors care about is that, now that they've announced things, either they must come back with Blatter's head or commit ritual mass suicide in front of the Shogun/American Public. Short of nuclear war, they're not going to stop going after FIFA.

Are they playing softcore porn music during the FIFA voting?

FIFA's communications director has been fired.

quote:

Gregorio told Swiss chat show Schawinski: "The Fifa president, secretary general and communications director are all travelling in a car. Who's driving? The police."

They're so corrupt they can't even properly fire him. :allears:

The issue may be that they can't find a proper replacement, because who's going to take a job as FIFA's PR guy now?
