Guy's a £#%&!ing tool

interesting that the mainstream news here keeps showing the clip of a minor protest in the hall today over and over again

yet the many anti-tory/anti-austerity protests, some big, some very big, in the past month have been virtually ignored

vested interests in our mainstream media, and the western media in general, is a far bigger disgrace than some bullshit football governing body - that's bankrolled by the same select group of corporate monsters and branding anyway ffs

UEFA should just pull out of the world cup. But I doubt they have the spine to do that.

Hope Vickers isn't the one you're calling a tool pal.

the best sth american players are all in europe and have loads of baggage from dodgy deals and tax avoidance

and the best team in europe battered brazil 7-1 and beat argentina in the final, denying them a single shot on target in 120 minutes, just last summer

That's why I guess Copa America brings in so much money pal?

Big Blats has played a blinder tbh, nobody can touch him

its very easy for him to get votes tbh. He said today that Oceania should get 1 full spot for world cup.

New zealand guaranteed world cup berth then!

It's because they think they're untouchable. They don't give a flying £#%&! and they've absolutely no reason to. When you've behaved as appallingly as they have, quite brazenly, for as long as they have is it any surprise they're totally detached from reality?

.

Which continent have the last 3 world cup winners played in pal?

Anyway, did David Gill resign as he said he would?

In actual fact, Blatter was widely expected to win outright on the first ballot despite recent events - and didn't. Not totally insignificant IMO.

Vanuatu beat them in qualifying once.

yup, not impossible that in 4 years time he could win much more narrowly

Indeed. Just seen taylor, or whoever, on sports news saying Europe provides 80% of the players for the World Cup and should have more say than other federations. The rich wanting to £#%&! over the poor, being presented as the fairer system.

Not sure who voted for him tbh, but whoever it was, rich or poor, doesn't give a £#%&! about football only their little side deals, payoffs or promises.

Shock.

I just thought that with the Yanks about to go Shock & Awe on their asses (in a legal sense) they might at least have the decency to quit.
But no, they're going to hang on until the bitter end.
An end which I hope and pray involves them being arrested and perp walked in front of the worlds media and ends with them in orange jumpsuits & sharing nice bijou with Bubba & Cletus.
