Interesting if you haven't seen already.Beyond a joke now.
Something has to be done
Independent FBI investigation into FIFA corruption?
How much credibility can Fifa maintain? They say the English FA is shit stirring for suggesting corruption, yet here we have the FBI investigating the very same issue. We have dear Mr. Blatter clinging onto power still, despite votes of no confidence in his abilities.
How long can this go on before the while regulatory structure finds itself in crisis?
So Smoked Salmon there's been a "will they be qatar world cup" thread since March 2013 that has consistently posted on why the qatar bid was an incredible poor decision that will get close to breaking up the international football architecture. Now you start your own qatar corruption thread.How much credibility can Fifa maintain?

Smoked SalmonWhy?
Year and half latter you start a qatar corruption thread..Decision always stank and your lawerwly weasel wank is shown to be what is. Fuck of Smoked Salmon you have no authority here.My point is that it is a matter of perspective. I fear that where the Middle East is concerned the assumption is that it is a cesspit of evil, perpetuated by Arabs and/or Muslims.
But human rights is not a simple issue. You cite homosexuality, but have you actually checked the statistics of how many people were prosecuted for it in Qatar in recent years? I think you'll find the numbers are actully quite small.
What would consider to be the highest form of human rights abuse? Personally I would say the death penalty. Do you know which country is the fifth highest for executions in the world? The United States. Much higher than most Arab countries (with the exception of Saudi and Yemen), including much higher than Qatar, which last executed someone in 2003 (meaning that since those evil Qataris last put someone to death the Americans have executed around 500 people). Were you against holding the World Cup in America? The United States also practices torture (self acknowledged) and denies basic judicial rights to prisoners of war, instead putting them before military kangaroo courts. It happily carries out drone attacks againts towns and villages within the borders of it's allies in the name of the fight against terrorism. The US has institutional racism, significant religious fundementalism and, talking of homosexuality, can't even enact federal law to preserve the right to gay marriage. However, where is the faux outrage for any of this? People are still quite happy to by McDonald's burgers, have their summer holidays in Florida and pop the latest Hollywood blockbuster into their DVD machines.
How about Brazil? Riddled with torture, corruption, extra judicial killings and various other human rights abuses. Gonna turn off the TV in 2014 and 2016?
People need to check out the statistics and facts for themselves before getting all high and mighty. We live in a culture of huge double standards and hypocrisy. If you want to make a stand against human rights abuses then consistency is the key and there are a great many places you should be outrages about in greater or equal measure to Qatar.
The reality is that the WC in Qatar will play out like most others, with the Qataris on their best behaviour to present a good image to the rest of the world. So, either be consistent in boycotting serious human rights abuses across the board, or just accept that Qatar has it and enjoy the football.
Ha ha. Before my time, so I didn't know that. Some people got short memories with a small dose of hypocrisy.Smoked Salmon

They can investigate what they want because america.But isn't FIFA based on switzerland so therefore they can avoid the FBI?

Funny how originally you posted there was nothing wrong with this decision and opposition was anti Arab sentiment. Have you changed your mind?
Is that why you started a fresh thread
