(6,261 posts)1. And they should!
I'm sick to death of all these corrupt bastards that are running football. A big cleansing is way overdue.
The moment I knew they weren't even bothering to pretend any longer was when fucking Quatar got a world cup.

(278,057 posts)2. Can you believe that Jack Warner was the Minister of
National fucking Security in Trinidad and Tobago. He was forced to resign Sunday night - the FBI and IRS are in this like white on rice. CONCACAF's head office is in New York so Blazer is up shit creek and so is Warner.
I think Qatar was the last straw for UEFA - but remember all of FIFA is corrupt.

I had no idea any of this was going on. It always kills me to hear of things like this, or like what Uli Hoeness (FC Bayern Chairman) appears to have done

(278,057 posts)4. Way more is going on-Anti-bribery expert resigns in frustration at lack of Fifa progress
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/apr/22/anti-bribery-resigns-fifa
<snip>
The credibility of the Fifa president Sepp Blatter's much trumpeted "road map to reform" has been dealt a further blow after a prominent international anti-bribery expert resigned in frustration from the independent panel supposed to be overseeing it.
Alexandra Wrage, who has previously criticised Fifa for "neutering" proposals made by the independent governance committee chaired by the Swiss law professor Mark Pieth, said that world football's governing body had proved resistant to change.
"We all focus our efforts where we can have an impact and I was not having an impact at Fifa," she told the Guardian. "It is important the organisation you are dealing with is receptive to those efforts and receptive to change. The independent governance committee put in a tremendous amount of work and effort putting together some fairly uncontroversial recommendations which were then knocked back," said Wrage, who is president of the non-profit international anti-bribery group Trace.
It emerged last month that the FBI were looking into the affairs of Blazer and Warner, who have both denied any wrongdoing.
