ICTChris Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 TBF, the real corruption no one talks about is not FIFA or the Olympic Association embezzling and taking bribes, but the looting that arises from high ranking politicians and contractors when new infrastructure is required to host such events. This is because no one knows how much it costs to do such projects because there is nothing to compare it to like say a new road. So perfect opportunity to fill their own pockets and do pet projects, with the general population being none the wiser. The Sochi Olympics was a perfect example of this Organised crime made a fortune from the Sochi Olympics. There were numerous murders and ganglnad feuds over control of the extortion and skimming rackets around the construction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Putin has chipped in with his tuppence worth saying that America are only doing this to stop them hosting the World Cup and that he fully supports Blatter's re-election. I'm shocked that the computer destroying Ruskies would support a corrupt organisation. A bullet can't go through Putin's head fast enough for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Platini is right - if that corrupt fuqer gets in again then UEFA should walk. Let the corrupt African and Asian Federations see how much sponsorship they'll get without the European teams.

HomelandsOur Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 A few thoughts. The Election The Brazilians have been arrested or fled Switzerland, so 208 countries will participate. Blatter - AFC+CAF+Caribbean+OFC - easily over 104. Prince Ali - UEFA-CONCACAF-Australia-CONMEBOL - not enough The 2018 World Cup Blatter will be reelected, that is clear. It now come down to if UEFA are serious about breaking away. If they do then UEFA's world cup (in England or Germany likely) would be far more interesting with 24 UEFA countries, 5 CONMEBOL countries, USA, Mexico and Australia (the others would be need to be deed to look like a World Cup) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platini is a crooked fucker aswell,his son suddenly got a cushy number with a qatari sports organization 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm not up on Asian politics, but would the appointment of Ali not make it harder to get the 2022 away from Qatar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doulikefish Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The only good thing about Prince Ali getting elected is that one of his pledges is too make the presidency a 4 year term only 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Nigeria play Honduras for a trophy in Russia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I quite like the cut of Prince Ali's jib. There might be quite a few Associations intending to vote for him but staying quiet in case Blatter cuts off their funding/brown envelopes. http://news.sky.com/story/1492368/who-is-prince-ali-and-can-he-beat-blatter Edited May 29, 2015 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm hoping the Yanks are just holding fire on Blatter until after he's re-elected. I know what they said but they do love a bit of spotlight stealing drama. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Koop Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 find the irony somewhat amusing. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32904408 Regan and the SFA wonks are a bunch of plums. Moving on and the latest is a rival association and a Scottish boycott of international competitions. The phrase 'de facto' springs to mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE KING Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Blatter using the classic deflection tactics. Not his fault, he can't monitor everyone Yip the classic the big boy did it and ran away. Wasn't me honest Mon the Lok now I'm hoping the Yanks are just holding fire on Blatter until after he's re-elected. I know what they said but they do love a bit of spotlight stealing drama.Did blatter elect or appoint any of these people?
