Blatter finally admits Qatar world cup error

[rohrl]

Seeing as how FIFA is all about the money the only way anything positive might be done about the working conditions at the Qatar World Cup is to put pressure on the sponsors.

My uncle, who was in the middle east fighting during WW2, always said that they were all just camel dealers, now with money.

Well, yes. In that I'm surprised something is finally being done about it by the authorities.

Perfect timing by the FBI, just days before the vote to re-elect Splatter.

I'm sure he'll be dragged into this very shortly.

Less than 24 hours away.

Who'll win, Blatter or the US authority's?

[Cobnapint]

They'll have to postpone the election. If they make more arrests they'll be no f*cker left to vote.

You wanna know how to get Blatter?


They pull a Yellow card, you pull a Red.


They send one of yours to the bench, you send 14 of theirs to the US to answer corruption charges.


"That's" the "US Federal Authority" way!

Hope your right but Blatter seems to be 'Mr Teflon'.

It's quite sad that of any of the world authorities from nations with a massive historical involvement in the game it's taken the FBI to step forward to put a stop to this.
