Funny when we had that bloke off the telly investigating blatter and warner over bribery and corruption it was swept under the carpet. Suddenly we buy him lunch and suddenly we are accused of bribery

Where there's big money there is corruption.
Football is small cheese, imagine the corruption and lies at government levels.

If the big countries decided to ban all products that have sponsorship deals with FIFA. They would choke off the supply of bribery money.

This thing with the FBI and Chuck Blazer seems to be gathering momentum. Hopefully they may have some success.

I think Garcia hasn't been the yes man they expected him to be. He had a history of doing some whitewash work, that's why they appointed him. I recall some articles saying he'd do the same for them. Fair play on him - whether of his own accord or whether he's got the FBI breathing down his neck - he's blown their cover.

they're like the mafia but they don't even try and hide the corruption. you have to think that the police are on the payroll somehow the way the cunts just continue to flout the rules. im sure I once heard someone say in an interview that blatter sees himself as a pope like figure and fifa's headquarters as the equivalent of the vatican

Gav - They built a 'GOAL' project brand new footy centre in the Caribbean somewhere, cost a fair few quid. The land it was built on (previously just a waste land shithole) absolutely rocketed in value, obviously......a journalist did a bit of digging and found out the land was owned by a certain Mr J Warner.
They really all just don't give a shit. Corrupt fuckers.

To be frank I think bungs surrounding world cup votes just scratches the surface of this. FIFA have ten billion dollars in savings in the bank, a sum that puts it above most countries central bank foreign exchange reserves. It gives out billions in 'charity' payments to mainly emerging countries each year, with little to no transparency as to where the money ends up. If you're the FIFA representative in one of those counties, where does that put you in terms of being able to funnel the money to the 'right' project, in return for a bung?

The FA deserve a kicking for currying favour with the crook Warner, a man who hates England anyway.
Having said that, FIFA are in no position to be giving them the kicking.

It's not just England though Gav, they've found fault with EVERYONE, except Qatar and Russia.
Obviously, they've simply rewarded those countries for their "clean" bids.

Re: fifa, not bent after all

well as far as Im concerned, by trying to single out England in terms of practice, FIFA are trying to tell nation states that they are stronger than them, and that transgressors will be punished. The absolute fucking cheek of it. I think that the FA, and more importantly, Parliament, should be stepping in on this. These cunts need a good fucking leathering.

I don't think nations will be bold enough to boycott FIFA and not send their national sides to tournaments, but fans can try their best to ignore the thing: Don't buy tickets, don't watch the games on telly, massive screens in public places or on the Internet.
Plus people could do their utmost to boycott the FIFA sponsors for those tournaments as best as they can.
I tend to care more about club football these days anyway...
