...........about time, let's hope there is real substance in the breaking news. Wonder if it might impact the president election which I understand is currently underway.

my word...

It was later revealed by England’s bid chief that four ExCo members had solicited bribes from him for their votes; one asked for $2.5 million, while another, Nicolas Leoz of Paraguay, requested a knighthood.

Nicolaz Leoz not mucking about. American law enforcement's proactive zeal directed in positive way for once. If they nab Blatter, they'll have my full and unwavering respeck.

the article seems to suggest 'arl bladder is not under investigation

but I think the knighthood fella should get one just for sheer audacity

These officials should be shitting themselves, IIRC US fed don't issue an indictment unless they have a very, very good case put together. Something like a 95% conviction rate.

Wonder how this will affect the elections Friday. With any luck Blatter and his crew will be seen as too toxic to vote for.

Yeah, but that Uruguayan lad is a squealer. Just lean on him I say. He'll give up Blatter and nobody will be able to say he doesn't deserve his knighthood then.

In addition to senior soccer officials, the indictment is also expected to name sports-marketing executives from the United States

“We’re struck by just how long this went on for and how it touched nearly every part of what FIFA did,” said a law enforcement official. “It just seemed to permeate every element of the federation and was just their way of doing business. It seems like this corruption was institutionalized.”

God bless American law enforcement (FBI, Homeland Security, IIRC etc) for having the balls to take down FIFA when no one else would

Seem to recall I did say this would happen.

Vault me.
