I wanted to discuss CONCACAF specifically. Their previous General Secretary Chuck Blazer (Co-Conspirator #1) was arrested in May 2013 and has been assisting the FBI in combating corruption since. Their previous President Jack Warner is in hiding in Trinidad and will have a hearing on 7 July to decide whether he can be extradited to the US to face criminal charges. The current General Secretary (Co-Conspirator #4) has been accused of taking organising illicit payments during his time at Traffic Sport and organising bribes for the CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb. The current CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb has been accused of receiving bribe for arranging for his GenSec's previous employer to be given tv deals. For their part, CONCACAF's media director has issued the following statement: http://www.concacaf.com/article/concacaf-statement-6 What do the arrests of this morning mean for the future CONCACAF? Surely, it's likely they will move out of USA.
Hopefully when everything is said and done, CONCACAF can remove the Carribean islands and create a 2nd 10-country federation in the Western Hemisphere. Let the islands go against each other ala Oceania. The Copa America and whatever a N/C American version would be can easily pluck those island teams to fill out the tournament spots.

Inside insight: Caribbean twists and turns. Secession next? http://www.insideworldfootball.com/inside-insight/18591-caribbean-twists-and-turns-secession-next People are not happy in the Caribbean sunshine and odd things seem to be going on: this is politics, and those who control the money are controlling the shots. And that's not the Caribbean Members. Not as yet.
That's one of the most bias stories I have read in a while. The Caribbean FA's are far and away the most curropt members in Concacaf and that is saying a lot because over the last few years they have made the Central American FA's look competent in comparison. The tiny Caribbean FA's can threaten to leave but all they really want is their gravy train back I hope we never go back to the way things were under Warner and to a lesser extent Webb.
Can One of the Dirtiest Corners of Global Soccer Clean Up Its Own Act? Bloomberg.com What's next for CONCACAF is to toe the line very strictly indeed.
http://www.concacaf.com/article/con...ns-unanimously-pass-landmark-statutes-reforms Concacaf has made some interesting reforms but nothing to earth shattering yet. They need to reform who can serve on FA's and they should require all FA's to demonstrate where all the money goes
Alvarado-Panama Blazer-U.S Callejas- Honduras Hawit- Honduras Jiménez- Guatemala Li- Costa Rica Rocha- Nicaragua Salguero- Guatemala Trujillo- Guatemala Vasquez-El Salvador Warners-TNT Webb-Cayman Davidson-U.S. But But F.B.I. The Caribbeans are way more corrupt. Never mind who am I to question the F.B.I.
One thing I have never been able to understand about Caribbean football fans is the need to defend the Caribbean fa's curroption and status quo. As far as I am concerned they can throw out all Central American fa's and start again. I mean are you going to argue Horrace Burrell isn't curropt just because the fbi didn't go after him?
Never said that. I'm responding to you and other bias posters who only want to point fingers at just the Caribbean. It's all corrupted stop trying compartmentalized the percentage of corruption.
I point fingers at certain people in Caribbean football that for as long as I have been watching have run concacaf. It's not as if my feelings toward Warner extend beyond how I feel about him. There where a lot of people within T&T football that spoke out against him. However several Caribbean fans seem to think because Caribbean football is labeled curropt that somehow means the same as calling the Caribbean curropt and feel the need to defend against that claim when it's beyond clear the people running concacaf from the Caribbean where beyond doubt curropt. That doesn't mean Blazzer an American or several others from other parts of concacaf aren't also themselves curropt how anyone can come to that conclusion makes no sense. I have followed Central American football fairly closely I know first hand there is plenty of curroption there as well. It's not as if because one side is curropt the other side can't be as well
