Switzerland seek Fifa arrests!

I'll say it again. Any FA competing or allowing their teams to compete in FIFA sanctioned tournaments prior to his removal are (imo) condoning all that has gone on.
UEFA and its members should be flexing their muscle on this one, in fact they should have done so long ago. But, no, theyll vote tomorrow as if nothing has happened, make some noises to placate the sponsors and the (gravy) train will role on. Makes you wonder if they all have something to hide themselves.

The stench of corruption in football is rotten. It'll soon be as corrupt as boxing or the dogs!

But surely a vote against Blatter is better than no vote?

Europe is where the cash is, it's where the big teams are (with a couple of notable exceptions). It's time they said enough is enough and forced the hands of other governing bodies by walking away.

So, no, although appreciating a no vote is usually the way to go, in this instance I believe not taking part in the whole charade is what they should be doing. But they won't. It will most likely be business as usual. Football needs rescuing imo.

Exactly. :thup:

Where are the bodies buried Sepp? ;)

Pretty sure that a fair few FAs could get embarrassed if he were caught bang to rights and decided to blab. :)

Oh definitely - don't think anyone is safe if it all blows up - even our own FA
 
Anyone who thinks that the population of "small" countries gets more than a cent from hosting a WC is sadly mistaken.

But even though it is all deaths then a proportion of them will be as part of the construction of world cup venues. And this is just one reason why Qatar is not a sensible choice, both morally (human rights records, attitudes to homosexuality etc), environmentally (building massive stadiums from nothing that will never be filled again for a 6 week tournament is just ridiculous) and from a sporting perspective (it's basically stupidly hot, the nation has no history of football whatsoever and there will be no sporting legacy from it). All they are doing it for is as a status symbol and to get one up on their also extremely rich neighbours in that region.

Totally agree with this. Should never have been given to Qatar and, hopefully, they'll be stripped of it when this investigation peels back the layers. If not, I'd certainly support teams boycotting it.

Same goes for Russia, BTW, not quite as black and white as the Qatar situation but another horrible state that shouldn't host major international events. IMO, of course!
 
UEFA making noises about boycotting the next world Cup if Blatter gets in. I hope they do, as this will restore some of my faith in, at least, european football. If not, I will never EVER watch another world Cup again whilst Blatter is in control.
