FIFA Officials Arrested; Face Extradition to U.S., Blatter Resigns

It's all a pantomime, complete with classic pantomime villain in the shape of Blatter.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, He's behind you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's more perfect than Ernst Blofeld. The best part is that they are all guilty as heck and corrupt to the core.

Basically, politicians.

There are endless news minutes to fill on US television, and too many are being filled with talk about the financial irregularities of the Clinton Foundation, so it's time to find a juicy new target, plus give our new AG maximum credibility, especially among younger voters, who skew strongly to people who care about FIFA in the USA. Next to Sepp, Bill and Hill look like Father Christmas and the Ice Queen. As much as dave and I have scrapped in the past, he's absolutely onto it here. I think it's right for them to do it, he thinks it's far too intrusive to external matter for the US, but then really, when has that ever matter a flying you-know-what to the US government?

If they pull this off with this clown car of mugs and install a new set of mugs to cook up a new way to scam the football world, at least we may get a few corruption free years in the interim.
 

He's clearly on a wind up mate

Relax your rage

The rage is calm here.

I'm on a different level to some on here.

Like I said here a year ago. Yet I was brushed off.


US law is kicking FIFA big time

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977(FCPA) (15 U.S.C.§ 78dd-1, et seq.) is aUnited States federal lawknown primarily for two of its main provisions, one that addresses accounting transparency requirements under theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934 and another concerning briberyof foreign officials.

Basically the sponsor's legal counsel are major running a protection exercise for Adidas and Sony.

Since bribes to FIFA officials makes them implicated for their USA market and sales.

The FCPA applies to any person who has a certain degree of connection to the United States and engages in foreign corrupt practices. The Act also applies to any act by U.S. businesses, foreign corporations trading securities in the United States, American nationals, citizens, and residents acting in furtherance of a foreign corrupt practice whether or not they are physically present in the United States. In the case of foreign natural and legal persons, the Act covers their actions if they are in the United States at the time of the corrupt conduct. Further, the Act governs not only payments to foreign officials, candidates, and parties, but any other recipient if part of the bribe is ultimately attributable to a foreign official, candidate, or party. These payments are not restricted to just monetary forms and may include anything of value.


This means the FIFA sponsors are going to be banned from contributing to FIFA if corruption is proven.

This is what happened in 1999 when the IOC was found to have similar problems




My latest prediction. We will see Blatter in handcuffs in due course. Mark my words.
 

Hahaha, from the Telegraph........

Hell will host the 2026 football World Cup after a Fifa report found “no reason” to overturn the controversial underworld destination’s successful bid.
A 666-page report seen by The Telegraph concluded that Fifa had acted ethically in awarding its showpiece tournament, and suggested Lucifer be compensated with “a really nice wristwatch, one with diamonds and everything” for having been put through an “unnecessary and upsetting” grilling.
Critics had cited the soaring temperatures of fiery damnation as a major concern for a summer sporting event, and accused the damned hordes of carrying out human rights abuses. But during a “fact-finding mission”, Fifa executive committee members found Hell to be a “first-rate facility”. “I could spend an eternity here,” noted one delegate.

Fifa was particularly impressed by “Hell’s well-organised system of circles where fans can listen to vuvuzelas” and watch England take on Germany in a penalty shoot-out until the end of time. One exclusive circle will even offer comfortable spike-style seating and a chance to enjoy the Fifa biopic United Passions (starring Tim Roth as Sepp Blatter) on a loop. ITV has won the sole broadcast rights in the UK, with Andy Townsend providing analysis.
Independent research had suggested that one of the principal reasons Hell was considered unsuitable was its lack of a developed football culture. In a survey of Hell residents, for example, football ranked below “teeth, gnashing of” as a pastime; but the 2026 tournament is regarded by Fifa as “the ideal opportunity to take football into new markets”.
The leaked report explained: “We examined the bids from countries in the mortal plane and found none of them could match Hell, which promised exciting commercial opportunities for soul-selling and an expanded opening ceremony where fans will be repeatedly poked with hot forks by unimaginably evil goblins, and/or enjoy a reprise of the 2014 Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull extravaganza.” The final is due to be played before a capacity crowd in Pandaemonium.

The head of Hell’s delegation, who was treated last month to a gala reception at which guests dined with especially commissioned extra-long spoons, had previously been cleared of any wrongdoing by Fifa’s ethics committee. Lucifer, Fifa insisted, was “an individual of the highest moral character and an example to the rest of the Football Family”. Though Fifa did admit that there was some evidence of bribery, it put this down to “a few isolated minions” and stressed these were instances of “venial rather than mortal bribery”.
Indeed, Lucifer, who has asserted control over the nascent Infernal Football Federation, is now regarded as a Blatter protégé and a leading candidate to take over from the Fifa president, should he ever wish to step down.

“Sepp Blatter has been a wonderful role model,” confirmed Lucifer. “But he still has so much to teach me before I can make the step up from running Hell to being the Dark Lord of an organisation as demonic and demented as Fifa. He is a constant inspiration.”
The report concluded with a damning indictment of England’s behaviour in the bidding process, described as “sinful”. Wembley, it stated, would be considered as an alternative Final stadium “only in the event of Hell freezing over”.
 
Blatter will win the vote. He has Asia, Africa, South America and Russia.

Exactly, he knows that the corrupt nations of the world will always vote for him and he doesn't really give a crap. Unless UEFA pulls out (they have no balls to do this), or the USA can nail him for criminal offence (I think that the Swiss will protect him), then it's business as usual..............
