Blatter admits to vote trading

[Gamma]

same as it ever was .....

We can bawl and cry corruption all day & night until the cow jumps over the moon. Voting in FIFA is just as fair as voting within one of those garrison constituencies in Jamaica where one MP gets 110% of the vote.

karl, it had nothing to do with england... it had EVERYTHING to do with lining pockets of the fifa execs especially those who felt this was their last opportunity to get their pockets lined...

i wholeheartedly agree with paul marin and share his sentiments... it it corruption at its finest... mi nah laff...

Tell hm fi mi. Everybody is talking about England when it is all about is tiefin' Fifa. Give them credit, they have successfully made everyone (certainly my bredrin Karl) think that the English are sucking sour grapes whenever any kind of spotlight shines on FIFA's corruption. Very astute.

Sorry - once again you show why you belong in League 2. Lucky for you jangle deh bout. This is about instituting change. They (FIFA) have been tolerated but now they have crossed a line for many of us. As the saying goes: "absolute power corrupts absolutely". So, I could give a s**t about England and their bid. For me, it is about changing the regime for one that is far more responsible and serious about their role in protecting the future of the game, not about England and their beef. FIFA has been successful in switching the focus away from the obvious.

where all the noise coming from? england and the english press .... league 2 or even league 15...that is my opinion. they are as corrupt now as when havelange was in charge .... why do you think FIFA's constitution makes it a law until itself??!! no government can touch it .....

any change has to be a conscientious change from within.

the yapping you mek don't really count .....

Gamma, all true, but change will only come from external pressure...not internal as they continue to resist. This is like Egypt, we have to get our pitch forks, machetes, fire and take to the streets. You blue bloods can sit in unnu private plane an watch we die for the game we love...Jah will make all things good. Fyah fi dem!!! As for England, the same noise is occuring elsewhere, you just don't read those papers.

I said from the beginning that English were jobbed out of their turn of hosting the WC by the crooks at FIFA. Yet these same crooks are suspending other officials for supposed misdeeds.

Unbelievable isn't it?
