    So with Platini banned for sure, there are five candidates left for the FIFA presidency:

    • Prince Ali bin al-Hussein
    • Jerome Champagne
    • Gianni Infantino
    • Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa
    • Tokyo Sexwale
    Out of them, bin al-Hussein is the frontrunner given that he was the opposition unity candidate against Blatter.

    Platini officially quits presidential race.

    Also today, authorities raided CONMEBOL offices in Paraguay.

    Disappointing news. If he's elected, I guess there won't a FIFA investigation of his alleged part in the brutal crackdown in Bahrain.

    FIFA admits to World Cup hosting bribes, asks U.S. prosecutors for cash

    In documents seen by The Associated Press, FIFA asks for:

    - $28.2m for years of payments, including bonuses, flights and daily expenses, to officials it now says are corrupt

    - $10m for the "theft" of money that FIFA officials transferred as bribes to then-executive committee members to vote for South Africa as 2010 World Cup host -- "substantial" cost of legal bills since separate U.S. and Swiss federal probes of corruption in international soccer were revealed last May

    - damages for harm to its reputation, plus other bribes and kickbacks for media rights to non-FIFA competitions but "which were made possible because of the value of the FIFA brand"

    Is it just a matter of time before they look into Qatar and revoke their hosting rights?
