Blatter has been in charge for 17 years.
Said he couldn't watch everyone, but what did he actually do to prevent it in the 1st place or stop it from growing in the last 17 years atleast

To be honest John I don't even trust the people running the indoor soccer comp at my local YMCA anymore, I don't know what to think.

Water Polo will be the big winner in this.

Its called plausible deniability. Politicians are very skilled in using it.

But that's the whole point of good governance. You can't watch everyone all the time so you need processes in place to ensure things are monitored and done in a proper fashion. Sepp Blunder clearly hasn't done anything to introduce such things

That's my whole point.

It all happened while he was in charge and now he is saying he is the one to fix it!!!! Yet earlier he said he cant watch everyone.

I can tell that if wholesale corruption at senior level in say in a major public Australian company , that the CEO would be out the door pretty quick. The leader is ultimately accountable for such issues.

High Tech World but super high youth unemployment.
More Bike lanes on Roads but you can hardly see a bike on them in Adelaide.

also. be carefull what you wish for. the yanks are jumping up and down now only becos they have wanted to control fifa ever since they realised that there was megabucks in football. soccah to them and now they think they have a chance. a yankee president,corrupt or otherwise would stuff the game up completely if given the chance simply becos yanks dont like anything other countries invented so,if given the opportunity they then will tinker with format,rules, regs etc etc until the game resembles something the yanks could genuinely claim as their own. dont laugh. if you dont know,some of the changes the yanks have put foreward over the years to fifa would make football fans hair stand on end. the word soccer for a start. goals higher and wider,timeouts,penalty shootouts,ditch the offside rule, the list goes on because the yanks dont see any merit in a hard fought no score draw. pray for the game if this was to happen. the orakle has spoken. :roll:

Whilst FIFA appears to be amongst the most corrupt organisations in the world,it's interesting how the US govt is playing the tough cop here. Nothing wrong with that per se.
If only they extended their white collar crime- fighting to the crooked banks, big pharma, big Agri etc.
That fraud dwarfs even FIFA's efforts.
Of course nothing will ever be done about these protected companies/ industries.

I think you need a history lesson.... The term "soccer" was first used in England many, many, many years ago, its a derivative of Association football.

The average "Yank" couldn't care less about soccer, the majority of supporters of MLS are of central/south American background, as are seemingly most of the corrupt FIFA officials.

They should scrap the whole of FIFA and start from scratch.

Oh and there's no "e" in forward :)

Respected Blatter several years ago but he is well past his sell by date and should be removed from power immediately- FIFA has become a laughing stock and if they don't sort out this mess a splinter group will form and break away. As a man if he wants to receive any respect or shred of dignity (most probably far too late for that IMO) he should resign and surrender his position. He is a clever cookie who instructs his disciples to do the dirty work on his behalf. Only lasted as long because he has secured votes doing what he does best.
FIFA has become a monster which has evolved beyond its own control- too many parasites feeding off it with their thirst for corruption, power and control. Mind you, just sounds like most of the political parties and governments which rip us all off for their own personal gain.
When the dust settles (could take a while as all the legal eagles will want to take their cut) they will all say that harsh lessons have been learnt and they (FIFA or otherwise) will start afresh. The cleansing process will look good with fresh faces and ideas- until the monster grows again!
