As much as i want Blatter out, an arabian prince doesnt exactly sounds so promising.
In a way, its not so bad if he is elected now, even more focus will be shifted on fifa and him.

Jordan is the lowest scum country on earth dude and they are saudi arabia's bitches they do whatever they want. Douche Ali is another spoiled prince with alot of money and so called western education ...all this is just meant to give UK and america's allies something to please them. That's what they have done with the kindgom of terror saudi arabia for the past century. They surely could have brought another name instead of a douche prince. But they don't care about improving FIFA. You think all this is coincidental anyway ?

Well actually Blatter cannot blow off the world cup in Qatar by himself, he has still a lot of power though. By the way, the stadia in Qatar are one thing, but don't think that FIFA is the only international (let's say even western) institution that is involved in these constructions and therefore has kind of a responsibility (a moral one rather) for the happenings in Qatar. A lot of western institutions, be it the Guggenheim, NYU or other that builds / co-builds in the GCC countries, is not less responsible than FIFA is. Qatar might be in the media mostly because of the WC but again, a lot of western institutions do not really care about worker conditions there. I doubt they are better in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.

He's hardly an "Arabian" Prince. Prince Ali, mighty is he. Ali is a British raised and highly educated monarch and UNLIKE monarchs of the Gulf (you know your typical ultra rich, arrogant Arab princes), he's from a underdeveloped country (jordan). I actually think he can do so many great things to bridge between west and the rest of the world.

Not any of those 209 delegates cares about improving FIFA. We should agree at least on that. This is a theatre, played by those guys. Everybody has some power, they divide it among themselves by +/- mutual understanding.

Jordan is one of many "developing" countries largely under the thumb of the "free world". Surely you meant to say that their ruling regime is scummy, not the country itself.

Jordan is an underdeveloped country but its rulers are pretty rich because they are saudi arabia's lap dogs. Bridge what ? I am an arab and I hate this guy's guts.

he might not be the guy who simply says 'yes or no' alright, but he could call for proper investigations or force the WC to be blown off by making life for the qatarians as uncomfortable as possible.
If he would really want it to be blown off, then he would give his 110% and then succeed that way, but hes not even slightly doing anything. Of course there are way more institutions to blame specially from the Western companies and that is just as wrong. But if Guggenheim or NYU would refuse to participate in this then someone else would be in their palce and do the exact same thing.
But the FIFA is different, they have the monopol in football, their "no" can actually prevent this. That is why I give them the main responsibility aswell as the qatarian government of course.
I definitely agree about what you said about Dubai or Abu Dhabi and the western concern, thats just sad imo.

I think Blatter will win it to further show how corrupt FIFA is. This is so bad for the sport and the image of FIFA.
