Basically yeah, although soccer is so insanely popular with every Muslim country in the world that if they ever pulled a Munich on soccer players they could kiss all their recruiting and cash flow goodbye. It would be like pro-life terrorists in the US bombing the super bowl levels of idiocy for their own cause.

I thought Daesh didn't like football.

Some of Blazer's testimony while pleading guilty has been unsealed. Blazer outright admitted that he and several other FIFA executives accepted bribes for the 1998 (France) and 2010 world cups.

No wonder France was backing Blatter.

Jerome is a French name, and he is the sender, so I think it was bad knowledge of English rather than French? Or it could be both?



Jerome Valcke is French yeah.

It takes a particularly lazy mind to translate "il y a quelques semaines" as "there are few weeks". All the warning signs were there.

That's just the level of English in France.

If Blatter isn't a moron he probably covered his tracks.

I'm surprised he didn't just "lose" his stuff like the Russian bid guys.
