I genuinly don't see the point in having someone from a middle-east country being the president of FIFA It's because they like his proposals  |

Chuck Blazer is the whistleblower, loads of dodgy shit about bribes for the WC and Gold Cup
EDIT: SSN has a transcript of it all, but there are loads of blacked out bits in it that the FBI don't want any of us to know yet. If bribes are the bits they can tell us about, the blacked out stuff is gonna be interesting

Little more on Chucky Blazer,who's apparently singing like the proverbial-rather overweight-Canary! This despite the South Africans denying knowledge earlier today-they apparently paid FIFA $10 million with absolutely no due diligence.

Absolutely crazy. It's time to get the finger out and get Russia and Qatar cancelled and voted for somewhere else. Likely USA will get 2018 if they re vote from what I've read

More on the above,taken from BBC:Sing boy sing!
The guilty pleas of former top Fifa official Chuck Blazer have been detailed with the release of papers from a 2013 hearing in New York.
He says that he and others on Fifa's executive committee agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with the choice of South Africa as 2010 World Cup host.
Mr Blazer says he also accepted bribes over the 1998 event.
The US has launched a wide-ranging criminal case that engulfed Fifa and led President Sepp Blatter to resign.
The US case last week indicted 14 people on charges of racketeering and money laundering. Four others had already been charged, including Mr Blazer.
The US justice department alleges they accepted bribes and kickbacks estimated at more than $150m (£97m) over a 24-year period.
Seven of the 14 were top Fifa officials who were arrested in Zurich, Switzerland, as they awaited the Fifa congress. Two were vice-presidents.
The details of Mr Blazer's guilty pleas came as prosecutors unsealed the transcript of the 2013 hearing in the Eastern New York District Court.
Mr Blazer was the second highest official in Fifa's North and Central American and Caribbean region (Concacaf) from 1990 to 2011 and also served on Fifa's executive committee between 1997 and 2013.
Mr Blazer says: "Beginning in or around 2004 and continuing through 2011, I and others on the Fifa executive committee agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with the selection of South Africa as the host nation for the 2010 World Cup."
He adds: "I and others agreed to accept bribes and kickbacks in conjunction with the broadcast and other rights to the 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2003 Gold Cups (the regional championship for national teams)."
Federal agents tracking alleged tax evasion detained Mr Blazer and he agreed to co-operate in the US investigations.
He is said to have agreed to record his colleagues using a microphone hidden in a keychain.

USA can fuck off wanting a World Cup again. 1994 was four minutes ago.

This whole thing is pretty funny to be fair, people acting shocked at corruption in a massive orginisation like it doesn't happen pretty much EVERYWHERE. The only reason this has happened now is becasue the states didn't get to host the world cup again.

BLAZER REVELATIONS
Chuck Blazer's hard-hitting transcript reveals...
"I and others agree that I or a co-conspirator would commit at least two acts of racketeering activity.
"Among other things I agreed with other persons in or around 1992 to facilitate the acceptance of a bribe in conjunction with selection of the host nation for the 1998 World Cup." (FRANCE)
"In and around 1993 and continuing through the early 2000s I and others agreed to accept bribes and kickbacks in conjunction with the broadcast and other rights to the '96, '98, 2000, 2002 and 2003 Gold Cups.
"Beginning in, or around, 2004 and continuing to 2011 I and others on the FIFA executive committee agreed to accept bribes in conjunction with the selection of South Africa as the host nation for the 2010 World Cup."
it added that Blazer "agreed to participate in a scheme to defraud FIFA and CONCACAF on the right to honest services by taking undisclosed bribes.
"I and others agreed to use email, telephone and a wire transfer into and out of the United States in furtherance of the schemes.
"Funds procurred through these payments passed through JFK Airport in the form of a cheque."
on pages 35, 36 and 37 of the 40 page document when Blazer was asked, "is there anything else?", there are large parts of the American's submission redacted.
Perhaps one of the most 'newsworthy' lines coming out of Blazer's admissions is that he was part of a group who accepted bribes for the 1998 World Cup which took place in France.

United States is one of the best places to have it compared to Qatar. We have stadiums ready and we won't kill thousands of people just to play football. Same thing with england. |

FIFA: Warner To Reveal 'Avalanche' Of Evidence
Sky News – 47 minutes ago A former FIFA vice president has said he will prove a link between world football's governing body and the 2010 Trinidad and Tobago national election. Jack Warner, who made his remarks during a paid-for party political address, also claimed he has evidence linking embattled President Sepp Blatter to the scandal. "I will no longer keep secrets for them who actively seek to destroy the country," he said. During the address, Mr Warner, who is one of 14 people indicted on charges of racketeering, fraud and money laundering, said: "I reasonably actually fear for my life." He added: "I apologise for not disclosing my knowledge of these events before." He told the audience at the rally in Trinidad he had compiled "reams" of documents that would be passed on to his lawyers. "Not even death will stop the avalanche that is coming," added Mr Warner, who denies any wrongdoing. "The die is cast. There can be no turning back. Let the chips fall where they fall." The revelations come just a few hours after it was revealed former FIFA executive Chuck Blazer admitted taking a bribe to back South Africa's bid to host the 2010 World Cup. He admitted to a catalogue of corruption in a guilty plea to a US federal judge, and incriminated other top officials in his secret 2013 evidence, which has just been released. The 70-year-old has been a key informant for the FBI's bribery investigation into FIFA, which has been extended to look into the awarding of the World Cup to Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022. Russia and Qatar have denied any wrongdoing over their bids, which were not the subject of the charges announced by US prosecutors last week. David Beckham has described the FIFA corruption scandal as "despicable, unacceptable and awful" . The former England captain said he was left with a "sick feeling" after being misled by FIFA executive committee members who pledged their support for the Football Association's bid to host the 2018 tournament. The scandal claimed its biggest scalp on Tuesday when Mr Blatter announced he would resign - just days after he was re-elected to serve a fifth term. The 79-year-old, who has been the head of FIFA for 17 years, is reportedly being investigated by US authorities probing the allegations. He denies any wrongdoing. uk.news.yahoo.com/fifa-warner-reveal-avalanche-evidence-042252574.html#ZK5ZJfV

USA had it in 1994. Might be better than Qatar but then again so is Macclesfield. Australia should have got it, although I always selfishly resent them having it that far away. |

"United’s flag is deepest red, it shrouded all our Munich dead. Before their limbs grew stiff and cold, their heart’s blood dyed it’s ev’ry fold. Then raise United’s banner high, beneath it’s shade we’ll live and die. So keep the faith and never fear."
