Fifa report into alleged corruption clears Qatar to host 2022 World Cup

[Catalan Fan]

Well it's about fucking time they were properly investigated and charged, after getting away with so much corruption for years.

Credit to the US authorities for having the balls to actually go after them, cos no one else has so far !

Lol Jose Marin, one of those arrested, got caught with a u20 championship medal he stole from a player. Twitter suggesting the player was Marquinhos. What a loser this Jose.

Can't be worse than Jack Warner who beats everyone in the 'let's be corrupt cunts' competition.

I can't see Blatter go down. He is probably prepared for what's coming.

Not according to Platini.

Tip of the iceberg, but I doubt there's going to be a fairytale ending here. Won't be any radical changes. FIFA might be forced on the 2022 WC issue(2018 is too close to be done anything with) and Blatter will keep his power.

And Platini should stay quiet. A guy with stupid ideas and he's not innocent either

 

[Alarcón]

Honestly: Nothing will change. Blatter will be elected, 2018 will be in Russia 2022 in Qatar. We're always getting our hopes up but the power of money exceeds that of fairness and justice, at least at FIFA.

The best thing is, Platini will be re-elected.
What a comedy. Bunch of grandpas ruling "non-profit" organization.

The USA obviously didnt do that because they are as annoyed from the FIFA as we are or because they want to change something.
They just got pissed that some guys there touched their money. Will have no further outcomes for Blatter or the WCs.

Also because money went through American banks.

just because the us care mostly/only about the money doesn't mean the buck will necessarily stop there. Stranger things have happened

Only IRS got cheated out of money, rest is federal criminal agencies doing their jobs investigating and prosecuting criminal activities in US soil and involving US assets.

It just isn't true. If there is a party that cares about money, it's pretty obvious it is all these FIFA crooks.

I'd disagree with that.The charges/accusations go back 24 yrs and I expect more people will be charged in the coming months.Also they say the 2011 FIFA election campaign was corrupted (Blatter got re elected).

Then there's the Swiss investigation specifically involving the 2018/2022 bids.

In my opinion this is going to carry on for months, possibly yrs and bring the current FIFA organisation to it's knees.Blatter (as head of the organisation) will be gone.Either way the games up, whether he's dethroned or falls on his own sword.

you miss my point man. Well, i understand why since my phrasing was really poor. Even if the us cares only about money, this might well trigger a chain reaction far beyond that frame
