Two Peas in a Pod - Jack and Bin

[Pbanta]

Jack Warner and Bin Hammam seem to be very similar with fund for their orgs. When you play with fire you get burnt and let pray and hope that CONCACAF will move forward better without the likes of these type of characters and those in leadership will think and act with integrity for the game, their country and the players in their countries.

Yes, we need to make sure that criminals like Chuck Blazer are far away from running things.

If an audit of FIFA was ever done, you'd find the same shenanigans with Sepp and many of his henchmen. The fact of the matter is that FIFA - not the AFC - is to blame. They allowed this kind of skulduggery to take place as it was a way of keeping the status quo in power. It is an organisation that is as rotten to the core as any. They are ALL crooks. Every last one of them. Does anyone really believe that the awards to Russia and Qatar were not bought? Or that the departure from protocol to award 2 world cups (as opposed to one) in a single selection process was not frought with corruption? Give me a break. Bin Hammam is only one member of a very big band of thugs and thieves...Sepp chief amongst them.

Only problem is that FIFA would simply replace the criminals with criminals from the UK and the USA.

PaulB and PaulM: From at least the time of Sir Stanley Rous FIFA has been run by a cartel!

Havelange and his group overthrew Sir Stanley...then...
Well here we are

...and the beat goes on...whereby more and more comes to light as the infighting continues...so more boots to fall

If you don't want to read the entire article, skip ahead to paragraph ten... he basically says he was found guilty of mutiny (he was a soldier) but the conviction was overthrown on appeal... but he never denied that he was a mutineer.

Very true. We are the idiots for true. We continue to support their nonsense and we do not collectively have the will to demand our governments to put world wide pressure on them to reform...such is the elixir of the beautiful game. ~sad, but true.
