Quantum cluster fuck of corruption, incompetence and sheer lack of shame.Good article, some of the comments are funny, below example is quite good.
''An investigation commissioned by FIFA finds FIFA not guilty of any wrong doing. Who saw that coming?
Actually, I didn't. I mean, I knew it'd be a whitewash but it couldnt have imagined the levels FIFA would stoop to. In a perverted sort of way, its quite impressive how shameless and corrupt they are.
- Qatar cleared of any wrongdoing. Illegal payments were made but found not to impact on the bidding process. Really, this is quite special. Because if its true that Qatar did nothing wrong to influence the bidding process (no chance!) then there's literally no rational explanation for them having won the right to host the tournament - we just have to assume that these people are certified lunatics.
- Russia cleared of any wrongdoing. Simply because they failed to provide any information. The dog ate my homework excuse. That's actually a good defence plea in FIFA's flawless adjudicatory system.
- Spain/Portugal. Zero information provided! Nothing untoward here at all. Lets move on.
- England. Full transparency policy reveals that they pathetically coveted favours from the odious Jack Warner. Ditto Australia. Rightly castigated by FIFA. Still, they're essentially being punished for acting in good faith in the context of an investigation.
- And then the icing on the cake, FIFA's piece de resistance. Not only do they refuse to issue the full version of the report for no apparent reason, but the very person who conducted the investigation actually dismisses said report.
This is incompetence of the very highest level. I could have spent years trying to conjure up the most flawed adjuratory process and decision, and I wouldn't have come up with something as perfect conflicted as this. I cant get over it. I'm in awe of these guys. Everything's the wrong way round. You exonerate those did not cooperate in the process, condemn those that did and then the very person who conducted the investigation upon which all your findings are based appeals against those findings.''

Definitely playing pro evo from now on. 
God I wish I did their PR. Could come up with an awesome and cheeky anti FIfA campaign.

It's more the "we accidentally destroyed these computers, womp womp" excuse.
FIFA looking back at the English FA acting all

It'd be great if the US and England led a boycott. Surely other countries would follow. If the U.S., England, Germany, and France all boycotted, FIFA would be absolutely f*cked.

Nail on the head
I think if the US, England, Germany and France boycotted that would basically finish FIFA it's current state. Those 4 hold a vast amount power commercially.
More seriously, if the FA boycotte FIFA does that have any ramifications for the leagues, our participation in champions league etc. aren't they FIfA sanctioned tournaments ultimately?
I think you would need Brazil and argentina too
England will only boycott once spurs get 4th place or better so we should be fine for a while. Good point though thought it was purely uefa.

So FIFA's sole business is the World Cup...I think we could well do without them, of course, if various FA's do consider pulling out they are likely to all be members of UEFA and it will be down to UEFA as a whole to either back their members and support a withdrawal from FIFA, or to cosy up to their ruling body buddies and tell the rebelling nations to GTFO. This however would mean their next Champions League final could be between teams from Moldova and Albania...which potentially won't be such a money spinner.
England should leave , hold a one team tournament next week with a huge fuck off trophy , win it & claim to be world soccer-ball champions
State of the Franz Beckenbauer ( a man of small ego) cup.
Maybe twice the size of that & changes to a walking transformer

Like the yanks do with baseball then....
I thought it was named after a newspaper, but yup in essence.
Very OT but is there a ,say Japanese , team that could compete with an 'Merikan baseball team?
LOL at the Russians. They rented their computers? Your organization is bidding for the most lucrative sporting even in history and you can't be bothered to buy like ten lap tops? It's more cost effective to rent them?
It's just too funny, and so Russian.

Plausible deniability innit. They know, that we know, but can't do anything about it.
Rented...then destroyed them! Because destroying computers shows you have nothing to hide..
It's just like a Russian toast with the hurling of glasses into the fireplace. Only with computers.
"Here's to a successful bid process! Let's all smash up our laptops with hatchets!"
"Давайте выпьем за успех нашего дела!"
Talk of some Uefa countries pulling out of fifa competitions ...
Doubt it'll happen though
