Integrity at FIFA

Does anyone think they have any left. Blatter has been absolved of all wrongdoing and his only challenger to the throne (a Qatari funnily enough) has been cited for corruption. I don't think for a second that Blatter didn't know what was going on. If England and others knew sooner about corrupt fifa reps then they should have said something.

Sounds like corruption has been rife and allowed to happen with 'a wink and a nod' for years.

The full story can't come out as the whole organisation would be shown to be guilty to a higher or lesser degree.

Think everyone knew that corruption is rife at fifa as it is in every sport. There is too much money in sport which creates greed. Good it's come out though but the whole truth will never be found out.
Think they should scrap the lot and start again with new members, presidents etc. It will be ok for a while then, before they get too comfortable and know people aren't watching their every move.
I hear fifa mentioned on the telly and don't bother listening anymore it's all ********!

For someone to be indicted and cleared over a weekend is laughable-shows how thorough the investigation was.

Well Blatter did exactly as most thought he would do and not answer the questions of him and other things he was asked

We can think ourselves lucky the FA said no or we'd have the Nicholas Leoz FA Cup - that would've gone down a treat -

Scottish FA joining English FA asking for tomorrow's election to be postponed. I hope Blatter is not re-elected, he should have resigned when he made that comment about female football's shorts being thighter, and when he made that comment about modern players being slaves and now when FIFA is so obviously corrupt.

JUST GO MAN!

..speaking of sexist pigs, Adam - how many women are at the upper level of FIFA? It does seem to be a bit of an old boys club there dunnit...

Blatter 're-elected' - bid to stop election going ahead smashed 172 to 12 against. Is it actually an election if there is only one person running? My idea for picking the world cup hosts is pick 10 countries that are acceptable to host the tournament then put each country's name inside a ball, put them all in a bingo barrel and spin - pick two out and they are the winner - then continue to pick the rest out until all balls are gone to prove everyone had an even chance. Blatter now says that all 208 fifa reps will choose the next world cup host but to me that's just spreading the corruption further to more people.

Also the team with the most shaggable birds has to wear white tops and they can only play in wet weather...

It's post-modern irony.
