FIFA Officials Arrested on Corruption Charges

[firmino]

Well, at least we got rid of Blatter. He is too old for a coming back in 2023. Platini will still be around and try again to become FIFA president.

Blatter and Platini banned for 8 years

So you could say Blatter has been banned for life?

 

[thatdude]

8 years!? That's honestly nothing for the crimes they're accused of committing. It should be life.

They banned Pete Rose from baseball for life and all he did was bet on his own team.

 

[.h.]

It's implicitly a life ban basically. No one will touch them with a barge pole now because of the taint

dont forget this is specific to their transaction, too, all of the US /federal stuff is still on going. This is just to get them out of the way at first while the heavy shit comes down

"I am not ashamed. Even if I am suspended, I am still President. The committee cannot go against the President."

This delusional fuck needs to get stuck in a cell. I'm so sick of his stupid remarks making headlines.

the most important thing is that, imho, all the illegal gains made through bribery/etc in FIFA need to be confiscated and put to good use. I hope the corrupt people, like Blatter, die penniless

At this stage I'm willing to let him keep his money, just GTFO out of football and anything related to it. Go wither away in your Zurich villa watching the game you love prosper without you.

i hope fbi is still after blatter and eventually will arrest him. i like to imagine blatter having nightmares about fbi handcuffing him in front of the cameras and waking up in the middle of the night soaked in sweat.

Figo for president! Let us cleanse this organization from the filthy swamp it has been drowning in!

Figo the boss!

Investing in Carpi, for example, so they can win CL

Nah, I'm afraid this was orchestrated by some of their rivals who just wanted a piece of the pie. Tbh I haven't read about the allegations and the process that has taken place but shifting power from old leeches always comes at the expense of newer more advanced leeches after a relatively short period of calm.

"Prince Ali bin al Hussein received eight votes, Salman Bin Ibrahim Al-Khalifa 88 while Jerome Champagne didn't receive a single vote in the second ballot."

Hahaha wow.

I've looked for a FIFA thread other than this one but couldn't find any. It was announced that FIFA have approved of the fourth substitution in extra time! And it will undergo trial stages at the Rio Olympics 2016 and the Club World Cup in Japan.

I don't know how I feel about this. I kind of like the current strategy, but this should enhance the quality of the games that go to ET
