    This has been coming for a long time, I'm kinda surprised everyone was surprised by this. When the investigation was launched it meant charges were coming. Our Justice Department doesn't launch investigations unless their will be charges. We have a process and by the time our Justice Depatment gets involved someone out there will go to jail.

    It's not an investigation that attempts to see if something happened, they don't really do that. It's an investigation that determines who will be charged not if charges will be coming.

    People are surprised that it's happened because it's been so obvious for so long that everyone thought he would genuinely just get away with it.

    I hope he goes to jail. Preferably Cambodian.

    We didn't get to be the most incarcerated nation on earth because we let people get away with things, or by limiting ourselves to only incarcerating our own citizens.

    I've only been able to get snippets of this whilst at work, but I saw some of the presser and looked just from that that the chickens were well and truly coming home to roost.

    I expect authorities from the UK join this before long. You could see the disdain from our representatives when Russia got the nod over us. I suspect we will be weighing in too with our own evidence. I certainly hope so.

    The Americans are kicking ass. I'm delighted they're finally being taken on.

    They said on the news just now that $150 million in bribes went through American banking institutions just for the 2 world cups.

    I have said it many times and made myself unpopular here with some. There have been lives lost during the preparations and building too. It is a mess. Out of a population of nearly 2.2 million only just over 250,00 that are Qatar nationals. Mainly Indian and Nepalese make up the population. Don't get me wrong I like the country but hell ya don't have to be a brain surgeon to work out what happened.

    So it turns out that this investigation was conducted out of the Brooklyn AG office which just happens to be the office that she ran before becoming the U.S. AG so she actually did run this investigation the whole time.

    Again......... why is this such a surprise ? Jack Warner is one of the worst.

    My only surprise is that it is only $10m.

    Hopefully a new broom will soon be sweeping this corrupt organisation clean.

    David Gill (ex.Man Utd ceo) now on the FIFA board. Which is a good start.

    I don't think anyone is surprised, just delighted that action is now being taken.

    The Swiss have opened up their own investigation.

    6 of the 7 arrested are trying to oppose being sent to the U.S. but Switzerland have said they will cooperate with the U.S. and will hand them over when legally allowed to.

    I heard in the radio that the fifa execs pocketed over $100m in bribes over just one Copa America tournament.

    The numbers are truly staggering. Just think what good these amounts of cash could have done if they'd have found their way into grassroots football around the world like they should instead of these greedy ****ers pockets.

    Yea they said that the FBI was invovlved with the investigation because of their experience with the Mafia and that the investigation was treated as a RICO investigation for those of you familiar with the sopranos.
