FIFA In Ruins After Police Raid!!!

[BacheLot]

I can't find the quote, but when Platini was asked why prince Ali is a good replacement, he said, he is rich. So there is no chance of anyone being able to bribe him

how the fak he figured this goozoo sheikh became rich in first place..? hard work ?? or an ingenious idea..?? lol

ps
granted when your dealing human greed with so much power and money, your bound to get some mishaps happening in that organization...!! but prior to this intervention by US law-makeers the FIFA had became a joke in those scandalous regards, its like they didnt even bother hiding it anymore and bribing had became expected demand and a inherent part of the culture of doing business with FIFA..!!
this prosecution is one of the best things that coulda happened to the whole world of Football for the sake of all the fans ..!! sure it will not completely abolish such wrong-doings in future but it certainly does a lot to curtail it and to provide for more level playing ground and more fair representation in this global organization..!!

It doesn't matter.
If Visa withdraws - Mastercard will come in.

If Samsung withdraws - Sony will come in.

If McDonald's withdraws - Burger King will come in...

The wording they've used is the same wording they use for any FIFA crisis. In the end they don't care. They have a huge audience and market because of the World Cup and they won't be biting the hand that gives that to them.

Im pretty sure sony sponsors fifa, samsung will come in haha.

Right now they're talking about the PFA's request to ban Israel. The link is from Canada, so if it doesn't work use Hola extension chrome and pick Canada as the location.

P.S. The PFA's speech was TERRIBLE, very poor English, hard to understand accent a lot of k-o-s without proper emphasis on the real issues. Hard to get people to vote for your cause when you send a competent idiot up there - pure IR style!

"ZURICH (AP) — The worst corruption crisis in soccer history stems from the governing body's decision to award Russia and Qatar the next two World Cup tournaments, FIFA President Sepp Blatter said Friday."

if every underdog thought that way, we would never have an upset ......

[Bi-honar]

LOL @ the Israeli spokesman not even speaking English - he thinks he's addressing the Knesset!

[PersianLegion]

if every underdog thought that way, we would never have an upset ......

Palestine is not a simple underdog. you know that.

[OFFSIDE_1]

Palestine is not a simple underdog. you know that.

I don't think anyone believes that Palestine will be successful in banning Israel ..... however, 10 years ago, even the thought of bringing this to a vote was unthinkable.

this is a symbolic event, and if enough countries vote in favor of Palestine, it sends a strong signal to Israel. So, if your question is "what do they hope to achieve", well, you have your answer

[Bi-honar]

What a shit show this whole congress is! It doesn't even look like anyone knows the procedures.

And just when the Palestinian cause was looking good, they withdrew their proposal to ban Israel!!!

[OFFSIDE_1]

^ what do you expect from an organization where prince Ali is considered the best candidate to replace blatter .......

[Bi-honar]

I have no clue what's happening! lol

It looks like they amended their proposal to have a FIFA sub-committee to look into their grievances and insure their concerns are addressed, rather than asking for a ban on Israel.

I guess it's nice to see the Palestinians and Israeli come to an agreement on anything and finish a disagreement with hand-shakes rather than missiles and bombs.
