“His fall will come as a tsunami to every corrupt leader in the confederations around the world … We need the corrupt ones in prison, and we need the contributions from great idols, good sports leaders and football lovers.”
-Romario

A literary footballer. Who'd have though?

 

[slartibartfast]

The thing with all these crooks is they get away with it once, think they're so fkin clever, get greedy and eventually fk up and get caught because of it.
They'll get the fat fk sooner or later.
Hopefully sooner.

Romario has been serving Brasil since 2011 and was recently elected to their Senate for the state of Rio, as one of three elected members of the opposition Brazilian Socialist Party. He received the most votes ever for a candidate in Rio and was quite opposed to the World Cup.

He's definitely not your typical ex-footballer

 

[yankspurs]

Platini has the best odds to be next president. Ugh. I'd rather have Blatter any day of the week and twice on sundays.

Hey Loretta, this is the part where you openly investigate Platini as well. Thanks in advance

 

[beats1]

The person who should be arrested next, should be someone who is more corrupt than Blatter

Valcke - has got away with too much shit and lied his way out of everything

 

[MattyP]

Apologies if someone has already posted. I did a small amount of research on this a few years ago. Google Philippe Blatter. He's the nephew of a certain Sepp Blatter.

In previous world cups, the firm he worked for won the rights to corporate hospitality & premium tickets.

Now, the firm he works for have won the rights for TV distribution at the next two world cups.

I'm not suggesting corruption, after all I am sure the family link and winning rights to two lucrative deals is merely coincidental. No doubt the firms that he worked/works for tendered the best deals.

But in any normal organisation this would/should get flagged up as a conflict of interest/related party transaction.

I hear Yemen is charming this time of year, pack the flack jacket and helmet Sepp, enjoy the retirement.

 

[TheGreenLily]

Can't view it in the UK, any extension i try i still can't view it Hurrrumph why can't i have nice things?

Use Hola, a chrome plug in

 

[TheGreenLily]

Yep, saw it on Sky Atlantic as you can't get in on YouTube in the UK. He's absolutely hilarious in the way he makes his points, but they are always right.


The most shocking think I took from the segment is that the Woman's World Cup is being played exclusively on Astro-Turf. Absolutely unbelievable.

Chrome plug in Hola

And the womens soccer was shocking.

 

[chinaman]

There are reports the FBI has opened investigations against Sepp. Can't wait to see how he can wriggle out of it.

 

[spurs]

I think I actually prefer this to the World Cup!
Amazing turn around from Friday where he denied everything and it looked like we would never get rid of him.
When I saw that letter from the SA FA this morning, I thought it was a fake. Presumably it was that letter of he heard he was about to get arrested that changed his mind. Can see him fleeing to a foreign country soon.

And England haven't embarrassed themselves yet...

In FIFA it's flagged up as the norm.
