FIFA

^ And some of them are their top officals. The FIFA vice president and Jack Warners have been named
But the name of their biggest crook hasn't yet been mentioned.

Guardian said up to 10 people could be arrested

I doubt if these arrests will stop the election going ahead and Blatter winning his fifth term but Jack Warner is expected to be amongst those arrested and possibly extradited

I doubt if the charges and arrests will force Blatter to stand down nor will it change the results of the bids for 2018 and 2022 but much of the investigations surrounds Garcia's report and findings.

think it's going to be a busy news day at ssn!
apparently they (the swiss) are looking into the allocation of both the 2018 and 2022 world cups!

i mean seriously, how does anything benign and non-nefarious go on in this room!

so fifa are playing the victim! fuckin laughable! how can sep bleeter remain president of fifa. he's at best grossly incompetent because all this happened on his watch and at worst a blood sucking blofeld esque criminal mastermind!

Where's James Bond when you need him?

how can it be the victim? It is laughable mate!!
Surely the victims of all this are us the ordinary fans!! If these allegations ARE proven then surely it calls into question the bids for 2018 & 2022 World Cups and how can the vote on Friday
carry on when this story casts a huge shadow?

Official statement from the Swiss Attorney General :

Quote:criminal proceedings against persons unknown on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and of money laundering in connection with the allocation of the 2018 and 2022 Football World Cups

totally ridiculous that fifa are still going ahead with the 2018 & 2022 world cups in Russia and going ahead with the congress and presidential election. they need to cancel the congress and re-run the votes for the world cups

fifa are insisting it's business as usual!!!!?????

Im surprised they havent blamed the english media and FA yet its gonna come
