I dont doubt they are corrupt and I sure as hell hope they take the fall on this one, but i think the only motive US has to do this i to show their teeth to fifa because they gave the cup to Russia. Just my two cents

Probably true, but if its corrupt its corrupt first and foremost.
Can't blame the USA for everything.

I want them to take the fall, but I dont want usa to "save the day"

fifa mafia fuck you from croatia

cu in 3 years and learn to corrupt for 2026 lel hf

/care

FIFA has really gone to shit since they added loadouts

players start with boots on now wtf :/

kick'em all out ... boycot russia/qatar ...

Ouch, so easy. Germany will pay their expenses?

No problem. They can make polaks pay : )))))

I guess Greece is the first one doing it then!

It's all pile of doo doo.
USA is biting Putin's dick.
FIFA is easy devices.

Other countries, including Russia, had tens of years to do something and did nothing. Let the US give it a try now.

No one ever tried (?) because who cares?
Easy devices spinning ice creams for big monies and pleb is happy because some CR7(9?) gay ass shit sport.
Now US cares because Putin's ding ding dong.
WW 3 incoming.

In a way it's way too late, because now we're stuck with a world cup in the desert, in a country which has no football culture whatsoever. But it's being done, the infrastructure is being built by a million underpaid labourers, who live in atrocious circumstances. Hundreds have been killed already. Such a disgrace.
In an ideal world everyone should boycot these two world cups, but that, of course, ain't never gonna happen.

Its not too late, if Euro teams stick together it will fall.
Hopefully this is the start of encouraging the rest to stick their spurs in.

No player or team will go against fifa. It would be simply suicide.
Slaves will keep dying in Qatar.
Emirs will keep having all they want.
People will keep quiet, and if they don't, nothing would change anyway and everything will be back to normal after a while.
Only reason someone is whining and throwin some stuff around, is because usa got their feathers ruffed. Trying everything possible to damage Russia in every situation, etc.

It wont be suicide, football is bigger than an organisation and so are the sponsors and this investigation has made them easier to chop down. Imagine a world cup without the top European teams?

Sponsors would pull out in second, it would be a joke.

its easy to change, most of blatters votes come from countries where corruption and lies are how things are done.

As I keep saying, democracy among flawed people is a dangerous thing.

People just need to make a stand.

What a lovely bunch of romantic bullshits. No, going against fifa would be suicide. As a team, but no team would ever do that, and even more as a single.

The powers are too strong to move against. Single players and teams count shit, a team refusing to play would be like a mobster spitting the boss.
And for what? To look like good boys to the people watching from home? Please. People counts jack shit. We will all watch the next world championship, in spite of the hundreds of slaves already died in the Qatar works.

All this "scandal", is only an internal shift of forces and political power. Nothing else. Usa didn't want Blatter to be re elected, they wanted the other one. That's why medias are crying about corruption only now, that is clear Blatter would have been reelected anyway.

Corruption is only an excuse, all that charade is an internal war for power.

TEAMS. NOT TEAM.


USA
ENGLAND
NETHERLANDS
ITALY
FRANCE
POLAND
GERMANY
SPAIN
PORTUGAL
etc

(And watch the sponsors fall)

etc would ruin the tournament if they were not in...

Its up to them to make a stand or they can't really moan. I won't be following the one in 2022 for sure.

At least the russians actually play and like football and it doesn't screw up the league times. I can't see it going ahead. I just think this is only the beginning.

If you commit any crime, there is a period of time where you get away with it, what matters is the end result because a lie travels faster than a truth, but the truth always catches up in the end.

No way people are going to stop talking about this, its like an infected tooth now which is just going to get worse and worse.

lmao@poland.pl

FIFA die, long life football.

Yes, ofc USA is moving the pieces now bc there are political motivations. The ultimate reason, they want a piece of all that moneis of the #1 sport in the world, so they will try to put people of their choice in high positions after everything is said and done. FIFA has crapped so much in the sport, i saw some articles about the stealing to Italy and Spain in 2002. What about SudAfrica2010, where Holland played really dirty and got away with it thanks to a corrupt judge? Or Blatter removing the voting aspect of the best WC player after Forlan won on 2010, to make it decided by them, and in 2014 give it to Messi who is an oustanding player, but wasnt the best player of that WC.

Hoping only the skill in the pitch becomes the decider, like it was tons of years before.

#FreeSuarezCopaAmerica2015

UEFA should just decide to leave the FIFA. This FIFA problem is nothing new, it has been like this for decades and many people have reported about it in the past.

You think Platini is clean? UEFA must be as rotten as FIFA, only on a smaller scale due to obvious reasons.

You are probably right, Platini is also not clean since he actually voted for Qatar. There was practically no valid reason imaginable to vote for Qatar compared to the other bids of that time.

looks like nothing will change

All Euro teams have to do is not play, then the world cup can be a delegate of corrupt nations no one really wants to see.

I would rather no world cup than be part of that, the supporters sepp has in his pocket are mostly from corrupt nations. Every nation has some corruption, but some are way worse than others.

Go and cross reference the votes he got from where those people reside, his ally list is comical.

Its like giving a bunch of prisoners the power to vote on their own sentences and then wondering why they gave themselves a week in corfu instead of a life sentence.

Worse thing is its now so toxic the people who are telling the truth are being perceived as trouble makers and liars, the situation is entirely sad.

And if any euro teams play they are also to blame.

Its the qatar vote most people really give a shit about.
That's the one where you know the shit is rottern.

Jérôme Valcke not wanted? Guy that obviously cheated in the 2014 WC televised fixture? Cmon, im afraid this is a corruption only aimed at selected people, not the whole lot. Blatter just won another election lol.

everything you need to know about these bastards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlJEt2KU33I

sepp resigned

Definitely needed to be cleansed, but if the USA has any part it in, it becomes tainted and meaningless.

What a crock of shit.

Out of all the super powers in the world, they are the LEAST of the evils and the only one who WOULD have done anything about it.

The alternatives are.

RUSSIA
CHINA
MIDDLE EAST

I'll stick with the USA thanks.

LOL

RUSSIA is better than USA. No zionists, no faggot propaganda, no continous invasion of distant countries in name of freedom to steal resources, etc. USA wants a big piece of the FIFA pie while also trying to boycot Russia.

"of distant countries" - nice save :D

Your opinion is the typical narrow minded one. The logistics the USA face as a country are a billion times more complex than places like Russia/China/Middle East, who really only give a shit about forcing their views on the rest of their own population.

I can stand outside downing street and slate my leader.
So can americans in DC.

And be relatively free to do so, try that shit in Moscow, China, Middle East and see what happens. That there is a precedent for how advanced a country really is and in sync where society wants to go.

Why should russia get it?

They have frequent issues of racism at their footy games.

They are intolerant to gay people which means many visitors there are going to feel under pressure and fear for their safety.

Note how putin has tried to merge the two together. Its obvious what he's attempting to do. He's not talking about promoting the use of bombs, he's talking about people talking about their sexuality and inspiring others about a social taboo. This is a mind of a small man with a big gun. Nothing more.

Putin has as good as made the threat of using nukes on more than one occasion and to people belonging to countries he then expects them to visit and enjoy footy is and somehow switch off to that. You can't do that to society then expect them to forget cos its football.
You can't put that out there with no real threat from the people you are threatening, it makes you look silly. Like Kim Jong Un.

Russia and Qatar are not suitable countries for hosting a cup at this time. Its needs a more neutral playing field.

This has nothing to do with the USA involvement even if it was their motive.

The whole world is built on a system of authority, even this website has admins who extend their views beyond regular users.

What makes you think the world should not have a similar entity and out of the available options (because someone is always going to play top dog in any demographic be it a prison, or a planet) the usa is the better option.

To be honest I don;'t really care if Russia gets it, at least they play and like football, its the Qatar one which really stings as you know its rotten.

You kinda know the Africa one was corrupt too, but at least they love football and deserve something good so no one really cares.

Yes, theyre intolerant to gay activists and gay propaganda, which i fully agree.

Its ok for someone like you to have that reasoning, its not for a world leader with nukes and a population the size of france/uk/holland.

Its a sign of a very flawed mentality which is never going win, because the truth will always win in the long run, even if its written in history.

Religion is a man made entity.
The perception that gay people are bad is also man made.
As is racism.
and IMO so is the mistreatment of animals.

The truth will burn through all of those injustices given enough time and those misconceptions will fall to bits.

Where did i said gay people are bad? Gay propaganda and activism, big big difference.

You didn't say they were bad as such.

But by wanting to deny someone the right to raise awareness of an unfair situation they have been born into means you think they are bad.

We're not talking about a bunch of gay americans bringing in a problem to russia and heckling people on every corner, This is an indigenous one, russian has over 143 million people.

When you factor in the % of gay and bi people (bi is basically gay too-its just even more covert) then you're looking at a probable case of millions of people.

If I was a leader of a country, and I made a % of the indigenous people I was there to look after and protect feel like lepers, I would not sleep easy at night.

That applies to any leader, not just russian.

I see your point but for me freedom stops when you bother the people that keeps the human race from extinguishing. Being a minority shouldnt always give the right to bother the majority.

I think letting gay couples adopt childs is wrong also. Nature lets you reproduce if you mate with someone from the other sex, period. A child living with a gay couple doesnt sounds right to me.

Non atention seeking gays being beaten to death is as bad as faggots shoving their propaganda down everyones throat.

Humans are far from natural already.

I_watch_only_lesbian_porn POWER!

cmon son...

Again, the order of logic is these people do what they do because they have had man made stigma shoved down theirs first.

What you're doing is throwing a pebble into a pool of water and blaming it for making a ripple, no matter how hard you try to shift the blame, the ripples only exist because of the stone that was dropped into it first.

If you can;t acknowledge the truth about a situation then its really a deep seated flaw within you're going to have to try and work on if you want to reach true greatness.

I don't see the point in arguing further because you're not going to be able to supercede my logic with your man made perceptions.

There are more than enough people to keep the human race alive, too many, using such an extreme argument at least shows you do have some conscious about the insincerity of your findings, but really, if 50% of the world stopped producing tomorrow, the world would be a better place, so moaning about a couple of gay people as somehow being damaging to the existence of mankind on a planet which is over populated and will get worse is not cutting it either.

Its over-population that will be the real killer of people, with no enough resources to go around and things will get ugly :)

Money makes people do strange things.

Blatter resignerino'd

The whole system needs refreshing.

Countries should be given the cup on a rota basis so all of the major players get a crack of the whip.

That way, there is little scope for corruption from the big players because either they know their time will come and wait their turn, or they will know its just gone and not due again for sometime.

Its the best way to do it.

I say dump the cup to the winner. Then we don't have to worry about shit places like SA, Qatar or Russia.

terrible idea, what if the countries who win have difficult economic periods.. or don't have the required infrastructure to accomodate a World Cup?

If Africa can do this in 2010 at the height of the recession, pretty sure most other places should be able to do so. I said big places too, so these will be places with a decent infrastructure already in place.

Hosting the WC is not a right, is a privilege you must earn the right way.

Then dump it to the second.

FIFA is not about sports its about money

Can't live without it.

B-b-b-but it's non profit. lennyface

It staggers me people are surprised there's corruption in FIFA, UEFA and the national leagues. It staggers me even more anyone thinks the resignation of Blatter changes a thing ;)
