Media also started reporting last night that US and Swiss authorities have managed to trace a $10 million bribe to Jerome Valcke.

There's a letter from South Africa Football Association directly addressed to Valcke about those $10M. No surprise it involves Jack Warner as well.

Maybe the Barcaforum favourite Van Praag will enter the race for new presidency, that would be nice.

But however, as long as there is a WC in Qatar the battle is far from won. Still an amazing achievement today.

I still don't get why is it the US again that are meddling in all this ?

Do you guys really believe much will change ? USA just wants a bit of those $$$ and to screw over Russia and Qatar... too much power in football for them to ignore.

Screwing over Russia and especially Qatar is all good.

They used American financial services and evaded taxes. Same way Al Capone was taken down.

Please don't start this stuff again, it's a wrong narrative. It's been said multiple times US is going after illegal activity perpetrated in US soil and using US assets. That's why they're "meddling". Criminal authorities are doing exactly what they're there to do, sniff out illegality and punish it. The investigation precedes the 2010 bids and has nothing to do with them at this point. At least the initial one, very likely it will spill over that as well considering the amount of illegal crap FIFA has been getting away with for decades.

Sure, Billions of $ + Russia + Qatar elements have nothing to do with it.

But you're right, I don't wanna make this a political debate I really don't care that much, just kind of sick of the US "bringing peace to the world".

Publish the entire Garcia Report. Won't ever happen though, because it seem like most of the bidders were involved in shady business.
