The FIFA Reform: News & Analysis

It's kinda depressing that they're investigating and 'deposing' Havelange 15 years after he left office and at 97 years of age. They're basically admitting he laughed all the way to the bank.

Why oh why don't the top soccer playing countries, 7 or 8 0f them, just get together and pull out of FIFA ? The whole thing would collapse overnight if just Brazil, Italy, France, England, Germany, Spain, Argentina and whoever just said 'enough is enough'. Let the remains of FIFA have a 'World Cup' without this lot and then see who shows up.

Very likely that at the end, all of them will show up anyway.
They, already are, among those full of "it" within FIFA.

Very likley the 7 countries mentioned could hold their own 'world cup', invite a few others and tell 'fifa' to stick it.

If they do so, they would only be telling themselves to stick it.
They are FIFA.

Oh yes, and the next exco member expelled due to bribes, from it, will be another member from another small almost non-football nation, while the big fish in it, keep on swimming in that rotten pool, till they decide by themselves to quit.

Chuckie gets 90 days...too funny

In other words, FIFA have now banned him from attending the FIFA Congress on 30 May.

Now the useless fcuk is no longer on the take and living high on the hog he''ll actually lose some weight...

Well, except no. The problem here in CONCACAF is precisely that islands with the population of a leafy suburb have the same vote as, let's say, Mexico--only those islands have no great stake in the outcome, unless someone promises them handouts, be they in the form of bennies or of bribes (and often the two blur).

Well, who gave those leafy suburb populations that kind of power in the first place, masked as a democratic vote ?.
Wasn`t it themselves (FIFA's higher officials)?
Fact is, is that they like how things are at present times with a basis of corruption present at all times, in order to keep it going as it is, and whenever something "tricky" arises, they simply ban someone who isn`t even known among any of the footballized nations, blaming him for whatever appears as being wrong, when deep in them, they all are, "full of it".
At present times, who bribes better, without allowing others to know how they bribed or get bribed, is who ends doing whatever he or "they" wants it to be done, and at the end those big fish in the pond, get away with it with no mayor harm on themselves or even on the money they "won" in time, for themselves.
Best example are recent events concerning Havelange (ex FIFA president and Blatter's master bigboss), Texeira (ex Exco member, former president of FAB and former husband of one of Havelange's daughters) and "Doctor" (lols, ) Leoz (former president of Conmebol, and also an ex Exco member), whom got to retire to rest wherever they want to (without any punishment), after "receiving" millions in bribe money from doubtful places, after all their extensive years "in" office.

The very first member of FIFA, whom was the person to imitate and the image after whom others should be modeled to, after him, was surely named Mr. or Sir "Corruption".

Chuck's head is what Blatter paid to get Sunil on the ExCo.

No, because it happened around the mid-70s, when none of the current people were around. And any rate, just because you chose to hand over control doesn't mean you're still in control.

mid 70's ?
Man, ........ That's a very naive way of thinking.

FIFA's corruption issues started lots longer before that, when some people started noticing how directly associated was money with football, which led to FIFA's independence movement in regards to the International Olympic Comitee, during early 20's at first, and started to organize its own events during Olympic games, which back to those years, regarded all sports (football included) as mainly being of an amateur nature in opposition to FIFA's interest of it being considered as a semi-professional activity, with great amounts of money being involved in it, and of course how that money was suposed to be distributed afterwards......

Concacaf's problems, only started once Concacaf was created (late 60's, early 70's), but that doesn't mean that these "corruption issues", only started here, as it already existed in the rest of the world before it.
