Sepp the Incorruptible

One more prediction: No World Cup in the USA before 2052.
 
Seriously CNN? Cutting away from Loretta Lynch's explanation of the indictment because it's "lengthy?"

God they suck. This is fascinating. Guess we need some more CNN anchors walking into knee-deep water in Houston.
 
Biff we are going to host the WC in 2022. That's how all these people are staying out of jail. Sorry Qatar.

If the Jordanian prince wins, you are probably right though.

Qatar 2022 is a worse choice than Berlin 1936.
 
A couple of these guys are in their mid-80's. One of them will die, the others will blame everything on him, pay some restitution, case closed.
 
Damn $110 million in bribes to have the Copa America Centenario held in the US in 2016. How does US Soccer not end up getting touched by this?
 
i thought it was because they've fallen into the Madden cycle of roster updates but little gameplay innovation

Not only that, he's the Chairman of the Board for the NASL and the President of Traffic USA. Traffic has all but bankrolled the NASL since it started again a few years back, including owning about half the teams in the league at one point.
 
"This is a difficult time for football, the fans and for FIFA as an organisation. We understand the disappointment that many have expressed and I know that the events of today will impact the way in which many people view us.

"As unfortunate as these events are, it should be clear that we welcome the actions and the investigations by the US and Swiss authorities and believe that it will help to reinforce measures that FIFA has already taken to root out any wrongdoing in football.

"While there will be many who are frustrated with the pace of change, I would like to stress the actions that we have taken and will continue to take. In fact, today's action by the Swiss Office of the Attorney General was set in motion when we submitted a dossier to the Swiss authorities late last year.

"Let me be clear: such misconduct has no place in football and we will ensure that those who engage in it are put out of the game. Following the events of today, the independent Ethics Committee --€“ which is in the midst of its own proceedings regarding the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups -- took swift action to provisionally ban those individuals named by the authorities from any football-related activities at the national and international level. These actions are on top of similar steps that FIFA has taken over the past year to exclude any members who violate our own Code of Ethics.

"We will continue to work with the relevant authorities and we will work vigorously within FIFA in order to root out any misconduct, to regain your trust and ensure that football worldwide is free from wrongdoing."
