    Yes then I'd say UEFA is a good comparison to her
    You have to stop digging at some point or you emerge on the other side and there's no ground at all. But anyway, I think that's about right. UEFA are equivalent to Mother Theresa. FIFA is not quite so "virtuous".

    I agree that you have to compromise and side with the least worst option I'm merely pointing out that if Mother Theresa was a good person and not a dangerous demagogue than I'm a Spurs fan.

    But I agree it was pedantry on my part

    the Qatar and South Africa world cups were clear examples of blatant corruption and i dont know why it took them this long to make arrests.

    Thanks, Obama.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    While it's great to see some of football's biggest crooks being taken down, it's hard to take when it is another bent organisation leading the way. The MLS is on the rise and it's no secret America want to host the next available World Cup to help seal the financial boost the game will no doubt bring to the country. All conspiracy theory of course but when you take into account that the FBI have overseen tens of thousands of false convictions based on their 'experts' providing false scientific evidence regarding identification by loose hairs, it's hard to accept their moral high ground. They might kick out one set of criminals at FIFA but like their government, they'll help install stool pigeons of their own to move forward.

    When I was a kid and got a high score or got on the leaderboard on video games like Asteroids or Tempest, I would input the initials 'FBI'.

    The clever thing about it was that it stood for 'Female Body Inspector'.

    But it was all one big lie.

    I inspected no bodies.

    The election is going to the final round of bung offers apparently.

    Be gone Blatter.

    Not sure how they know that though given the first round just finished.
