What a surprise internal FIFA report finds that Russia and Quatar didn't break any rules in the WC bidding process.

The two countries that get criticized most are the two that cooperated most, England and Australia for minor (and public) donations/incentives. Russia were cleared even though they destroyed most of their documents WTF!.
Even Michael Garcia who spent 2 years on the report has distance himself from it saying the summary "contains numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations". It was a set up from the beginning, no one can be fooled by this surely

Well I'm not and I've already written a letter to FIFA advising them of this.

Under Blatter's "Leadership :?: " FIFA's reputation has gone from 'slightly dodgy' to 'totally corrupt' and the game has suffered badly as a result of this.

Bit like some foreign governments investigating themselves for human rights abuse.

I'm picturing Herr Blatter cowering behind his curtains, petrified of what the postie might bring :lol:


It is a bit of a bottle of shiraz cheek though, to slag off England and Australia, whilst clearing the two main protagonists.

If a lot more people did the same as me then even 'Blatter the Hun' might just get the message.

I think that's probably racist, but he's Swiss, not German anyway.

As for a few more letters, you underestimate his hubris.
