    Also in the news fifa considering expanding to a 40 team world cup....another way for people to buy votes, no doubt the 8 additional teams will be African, asian or central American. Already enough dross at the world cups without adding more!

    I know it can't or wont happen. I just feel that some way we should totally scrap FIFA as it stands and start a total fresh. I ain't got a clue how this could happen but no one knows how deep this is, I know what is happening is for the better but will it be clean after it?

    The best thing now is for Septic Bladder to book himself into DIGNITAS and go once and for all with what very little dignity he has left in his life.

    The Argentine soccer federation presidential election has somehow had a 38-38 tie.

    There were 75 people eligible to vote. <laugh>

    The only countries vital for a World Cup are the top European ones and two or three South American ones. The voting should be done in such a way that they have more say. It is ridiculous tinpot places without a proper league have a vote equal to Germany, vsrious other European countries or Brazil.

    Time for FIFA to be disbanded. Corruption the mob would be proud of. Disgusting.

    I think one of the most damning things for Blatter that came out of this BBC documentary is Warner getting the TV rights for I think it said $600K, which was less money than was paid for the previous World cup, then selling it on for millions.

    The adjudicatory chamber will no doubt take a dim view of that letter. I'm surprised he didn't write it on FIFA notepaper nicked from the stationary cupboard before he was booted off the premises.

    If you keep telling yourself you are innocent enough times you start to believe it, this seems to be what Blatter is doing.
