Took the yanks to facilitate that. I was certain the hammer was falling when a few days ago I posted a story that effectively said, this is the tip of the iceberg.
And keep the faith. That crook is on his way out. The US Justice system is relentless.
Now, does this affect the Russia and Qatar bids?
England 2018 and USA 2022? If not Australia 2022 and the USA 2026?
Let's keep the WC in English speaking nations here on out
"Let's keep the WC in English speaking nations here on out"
Well that'll discount USA then
Blatter will dodge the courts, that's why he's getting out now to do so - and he'll continue to pull the strings, and get even richer in the process with his nose at the same trough, just from a different seat at the table. Unfortunately, the corrupt federations that supported him will no doubt put a suitable puppet-lackey in his place - it's the entire FIFA edifice that needs to come tumbling down...
Root and branch reform required. I have no faith that FIFA will do it themselves so all power to those that have launched this investigation. I just hope those who have had their corrupt snouts in the trough are brought to justice and the necessary changes are made.

...still, delighted he's gone
Very. Funny.
English is our second language @:P
But seriously. Glad this scum is out.
Should Gill now consider a run at the position? He took a hard stand that he would not be on the executive committee so long as Sepp was president.
Divided by a common language as well as the Atlantic.
I had to laugh at the difference in response from Messrs Platini "it was hard decision, a brave decision but the right decision" and Dyke "it's brilliant for world football". Greg just said what everyone, including Michel, was thinking.

Right. Greg Dyke. He has a strong backbone. Lead? I think we are into a new era. Get rid of this shyt. Meaning all of FIFA. Start over. Let's have a World Cup with UEFA, CONCAFAF and South America. I believe 1 billion will watch.
You'd be surprised to know that I often confound people here with phrasings, boot to bonnet, being the most recent example. Too much British has rubbed off on me. It just comes natural. I'd be a liar if I said I didn't love proper English which is spoken around most of the world, excluding Australia
...
BW, I had forgotten about that scheme supported by Dyke.
So what about Gill?
As Bitter Blatter's grip has been released, who are the main candidates, you think? Shouldn't it be someone from one of the top footballing nations? Michel Platini did ask Sepp to resign his post, but was that self-serving?
I haven't read much about who may have the inside track. The Prince, he was merely the no. 2 possibility because the anti-Blatter vote would have been split, so others dropped out. So who then?
