The Swiss are doing a separate criminal investigation into that. Not much the FBI could do there 'cos there wasn't really anything that happened on US soil; their case is over other stuff, and it helps that CONCACAF is based in Miami.

Yanks are involved because money was transferred through US banks.

Normally they wouldn't give a £#%&! but because they got £#%&!ed over for the WC expect them to seek revenge. A lot of money was wasted on a campaign which they had no chance in getting.

I don't think the FBI can be employed as a personal army just because you've you're upset about losing something. They don't give a £#%&! about those things, the Chuck Blazer thing has been happening for much longer.

Fifa spokesman Walter de Gregorio faced the press alone, and confirmed that congress, and the presidential election, are due to go ahead as planned, and that there was no question of restaging the votes for the World Cup hosting rights. He said Sepp Blatter was feeling “relaxed” about the day’s developments because he was “not involved in them at all”, before clarifying: “Well he is not dancing in his office. He is very calm, he is fully co-operative with everything. That’s what I meant. He’s not a happy man, saying wow wow.”

£#%&!ing love it. I hope Warner gets the death penalty, £#%&!ing worm.

Both his sons have pleaded guilty, yet he keeps insisting he is innocent and just wants to be left alone to concentrate on helping the poor in Trinidad. A category that certainly doesn't include him btw.

The prospect of doing bird in the US will see these weasels turn on one another in no time. Qatar to lose the World Cup and Blatter being hung out to dry as a result seems eminently possible atm.

The Gulf States and their oil money are a stain on the game tbh. Loving this.

Yeah. Something tells me the don't value omerta quite as highly as the Gambino's. These people are not well suited to prison.

Blatter only answers to those that keep him in power, and that's those paying to vote him in. Once those votes don't bring in what they want (The WC) the money dries up and out he goes.

Problem is somebody else will come in and will end up the same way, far too much money involved.

He just conveniently fails to mention the Swiss investigation which specifically is.

I'm sure the £ involved had some say on where the votes for those competitions ended up. FBI have said this is just stage one.

Feel for Keys, in a way he's like Blatter, being told what to say and when to say it. He'll end up in the sand somewhere.
