  • Lester Munson is a pretty good read on these things. He said, if Blatter doesn't have a criminal lawyer he needs to get one pronto.

    FIFA is a powerful organization well able to defend itself and its executives, but the corruption charges come from the U.S. Department of Justice and will be very difficult to overcome.

    • Will Loretta be "Lynch-ed" if Russia lose 2018? She better get her own security sorted after this is over!

      • So FIFA re-elected their president for a 5th term?
        Maybe I don't know enough about this subject if I'm questioning this... I think a CEO would have lost their job if they had equivalent fraud in their organization that FIFA just had.

        Also just under a year ago, myself or someone posted John Oliver's take on FIFA. I think he got it right.

          He funnels lots of money to the small, poor island and African countries....and every country has one vote no matter how big or small, so he wins easily.

            Those projects in Africa and other small / or poor countries are great, but when an organization's ethics are criticized... especially for fraud and corruption... that's as bad as it gets.

            • There was no question he was going to get re-elected. The real fireworks start if they can get those officials really get extradited and tried. Most of this stuff is not new news, that somebody is trying to do something about it is news. Blatter will stay in power unless the following things happen.

              1. The big sponsors pull out.
              2. The Swiss investigation uncovers the hard evidence bribetaking in the 2018 and 2022.
              3. UEFA pulls out of FIFA

              This is going to be fun to watch but Blatter is a slippery fellow, I suspect the corruption will probably go the way the IOC corruption reform did. Very slowly.

                They don't care about ethics. They care about money.

                  Is the word with interment rain and spin out crashes at the small Belle Isle GP weekend.
                  I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.

                  • You don't even have to go to the highest levels of football to realize that money plays a HUGE role. Just look at the number of teams (owners) that have UNDISCLOSED transfer fees paid either to them, or players they poached off other teams.

                    Transparency means everything is disclosed, even if it is one that is subject to qualifications being met (i.e. a 5,000,000 sum based off games played). That is how the bigger teams are allowed to continually rape, then manipulate the terms of the contract later on in dealings with smaller teams.

                      • LOL. @ Glasgow Rangers,..... Fucking idiots.

                        And then karate kicking puncher, Mohsni decides to try and fight Erwin OUTSIDE the stadium,...... And then also tries to fight some Motherwell fans!

                        Always count on the Glasgow fkers to embarrass Scotland.

                          The straightaway down the back end is where you, Dustdog and I stopped to survey the area.

                          The State has taken over and it is now being treated as a State Park and they have put 5 Million in improvements since last year.

                          It is becoming a jewel again.

                          • Well, Rangers just got drubbed 6-1 on aggregate and have to spend another year out of the top flight, so what exactly did Erwin expect when he offered a handshake?

                            He chose to do the pussified thing and shove a guy with his back turned, and got his ass kicked for it - in this case literally. He does that in any part of Scotland, he should expect the same result, right?

                            • Sorry buddy, disagree with all of that. And Scotland has nothing to do with it........, Mohsni is a Tunisian fucker with serious issues and he himself has embarrassed Rangers FC. This is the same guy who fell out with a team mate when he played in England and decided to attack the guy with a pair of scissors in the dressing room.
                              Agreed, Erwin shouldn't have pushed and should've assessed the situation better ......., but Mohsni is class A bellend.

                              • Who in the hell punches the love child of Dolph Lundgren and David Bowie? Is there nothing sacred anymore?

                                Also, which side of that family is related to Larry Murphy?
                                Where are we going; and what's up with this hand basket?
