These assholes btw used the incorrect term for the Persian Gulf.

Good spot.

Can you blame them though, Buzz Feed is comprised of idiots who regurgitate rubbish in an attempt to entertain people.

But anyways, contact them via

I wouldn't have bothered but BuzzFeed tends to have lots of youth following, unfortunately.

Gulf of Mexico?
Gulf of Carpentaria?
Gulf of California?
Gulf of Aden?

What Gulf?

[PersianLegion]

Once, one of the IR big wigs suggested to name it Islam Gulf! We should shut the internal enemies first. I still remember Ahmaghi Nejad wanted to join the Gulf council and there is photo with the emblem of GCC on top of his head with "A---- Gluf" term.

It is wrong but not offensive as .... Gulf.

I've sent them numerous emails about it. They won't fix it. They are consistent repeated offenders. I avoid reading anything on that site.

2022 Qatar World Cup Will Never Happen: Fry

[O-ZoNe]

Qatar's stock index apparently dropped 3% today to a 6-week low because of the news!!!

Also, as of right now, these are some of the potential candidates included in the chatter:

Michel Platini: President of UEFA
Prince Ali bin Al Hussein
Domenico Scala: Independent chairman of the audit and compliance committee of FIFA
Zico
Maradona: Suggested by Venezuelan president Maduro
Chung Mong-joon: Billionaire scion of South Korea's Hyundai conglomerate and former member of FIFA's Executive Committee
Jerome Champagne: Former French diplomat and FIFA deputy secretary general
Wolfgang Niersbach: Former sports journalist and FIFA media chief

Ali Daei should run. I can see him winning a lot of support

[Bi-honar]

Gulf of Mexico?
Gulf of Carpentaria?
Gulf of California?
Gulf of Aden?

What Gulf?

There's only one "Gulf" and that's "khalije hamishegiye Pars"

"More news has arrived in the FIFA corruption scandal on Wednesday, as Reuters news agency is reporting that the FBI are indeed investigating the allocation of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch wouldn’t comment on the FBI’s ongoing investigation into FIFA on a trip to Latvia on Wednesday — or whether or not Blatter was now involved in it — but she did comment on the Swiss authorities looking into alleged corruption during the allocation of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

“The Swiss authorities do have an investigation underway and their investigation covers matters involving the World Cup awarding for 2018 and 2022, and beyond that I am not able to comment,” Lynch said from the Latvian capital of Riga.

However this new piece of news from Reuters will change things drastically — the FBI had yet to confirm if it was looking into the bidding process — in what has been a traumatic few days for world soccer’s governing body.

With Sepp Blatter announcing he will resign in sensational fashion in Zurich on Tuesday, world soccer’s governing is close to ruins. A new leader will be elected in the next 6-9 months after an extraordinary congress was called by Blatter to decide his successor, just five days after being re-elected for a fifth-straight four year term. Blatter’s 17-year reign as FIFA’s leader will come to an end between December this year and March 2016 but so many questions are cropping up over why he is to resign later this year."
There is much to sort out between now and then.

In his hastily-arranged resignation speech the 79-year-old leader of world soccer’s governing body said that despite his re-election last Friday “I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football – the fans, the players, the clubs, the people who live, breathe and love football.”

With separate reports suggesting that Blatter is under investigation by the FBI, plus his secretary general Jerome Valcke accused of being involved in the distribution of an allegedly corrupt $10 million payment in 2008, the corruption allegations from the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice seems to be getting a lot closer to Blatter by the day.

Given all of that and the reports regarding the FBI “scrutinizing” the Russia and Qatar World Cup bids, it begs this important question. Are the 2018 and 2022 World Cups in serious jeopardy of taking place?

The chairman of the English Football Association, Greg Dyke, believes there should be a new investigation into how those hosts were picked after FIFA’s own ethics committee ruled out any wrongdoing by either Russia or Qatar in December 2014. Their report was conducted by American lawyer Michael Garcia and although his full report will not be published, the leader of FIFA’s ethics committee released a summary of the report which Garcia rejected as it “contains numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations of the facts and conclusions.”

Plus, if the new leader of FIFA wishes to open an investigation into the World Cup allocation, we have a whole new ball game.

"A closer look at Chuck Blazer (yes, he had an apartment for his cats)"

"In 1998, his contract expired. He never signed another one but kept working as usual.

Between 1992 and 2011, Blazer made $22 million. CONCACAF, the governing body for soccer in North America, Central America and the Caribbean, bought homes or apartments for Blazer in New York, Miami and the Bahamas. CONCACAF also paid $6,000 a month for a New York apartment to house Blazer's cats.

In 2010, the IRS took away CONCACAF’s tax-exempt status because it failed to file returns for three straight years. Blazer was blamed for this. He resigned from CONCACAF in 2013.

Reportedly, at some point between 2010 and 2013, the FBI went to Blazer and said he could either turn in his superiors or go to jail for a long time. Blazer apparently decided to help the FBI, leading to last week's indictments of current and former high-ranking FIFA officials."

I think age of these gentelmen who got busted removes possibilities of wild orgies.. so they spend the money on pussy cats. $6k a month for cats apt rental.

[persian-eagle-13]

what looks like is happening is that FBI is trying to turn the FIFA officials against each other by handing out immunity if they flop. so many of these officials will give up jail time for giving Blatter and Bin Hamm up. so this is the tip of the iceberg and it could get really nasty soon.
