Rotten Ali 599 Posted June 9, 2015 Thing is Blatter is still there and will be till about March next year if the Feds don't stick him in the slammer before then. I'm boycotting all the FIFA sponsors till he goes for good. I'm not buying or wearing any Adidas products, in fact I've thrown into the charity bin a nice Adidas jumper that I've had for years. Nike from now on. McDonalds is out of the question. KFC now first choice. Coke and my favourite Dr Pepper have gone untouched. Gazprom = central heating is off for the summer. Anyone driving a Kia or Hyundai won't be let out of side junctions. And Bud can go whistle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the football federations of Europe and the Americas should just secede from FIFA and found a new international organization without these corrupt African and Asian countries still backing Blatter. These teams are only fillers in the World Cups anyways. (Their only major result was a 4th place from Korea in 2002, and they shouldn't be proud about that, since they had to cheat to get there...) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of them was Prince Ali bin Hussein from Jordan; a member of the royal family of Jordan (half brother of the current king). Even if Jordan is not a filthy rich country like Qatar or Saudi Arabia, I think he would have enough money already so he wouldn't be as corruptible. His agenda is a different question, he successfully lobbied for the hijab to be allowed at ladies' games. Very practical, isn't it? The other guy was Luis Figo from Portugal, a former superstar at Barcelona and Real Madrid (and a wealthy man as well). He doesn't need bribes to put food on his family , so he'd likely not risk his reputation by being corruptible. The last one was a Dutch guy that I don't really know much about. But he seemed like the kind of person who cares more about his agenda than his wealth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These teams are only fillers in the World Cups anyways. (Their only major result was a 4th place from Korea in 2002, and they shouldn't be proud about that, since they had to cheat to get there...) Sepp Blatter reminds me a lot of leftist leaders in poor countries, like Hugo Chavez or Thaksin Shinawatra of Thailand. They like to redistribute wealth from the rich to the poor which gives them their power base among these groups (like Sepp Blatter and the Asian and African countries), but the problem is that they have to break the laws of their countries to do that, and they establish patronage systems and get called "corrupt" by the richer people or countries who get ripped off. It's always the same mechanism. Nevertheless, the "System Blatter" went too far when it gave the World Cup to Russia and Qatar, who were not "poor countries that needed it". I cannot get quite as outraged about the (likely) corruption in 2010 than about the one in 2018 and 2022. In other news, Chuck Blazer has been a mole since 2013: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jun/15/chuck-blazer-fifa-ban-undercover-back-taxes-plea-deal So this recent scandal cannot kill him off more quickly than his undercover mission has done since 2013.
