FIFA have decided to postpone the bidding for the 2026 World Cup

Because in the current climate they don't want people underpaying for bribes.

So John Oliver/HBO/Last Week Tonight bought a 4 and a half minute time slot for an ad last night on some Trinidad and Tobago TV channel in response to Jack Warners national TV special about FIFA.


EDIT: Just watch the vid on YT. Apparently no videos of it are able to play back on other sites.

Its a good job they didn't have any warning that this was coming or they might have wiped the hard drives.

You can still recover data from wiped drives. Pretty easily actually.

Not when you've wiped them with a sledge hammer and fire.

Anybody else surprised that Blatter has a computer? I always imagined him as the kind of person that would consider them a fad and hold out.

Sepp seems to have lost his sense of humour - and has fired FIFA's PR chief Walter de Gregorio.

Gregorio told Swiss chat show Schawinski: "The Fifa president, secretary general and communications director are all travelling in a car. Who's driving? The police."

Sepp Blatter is 'considering staying on as Fifa president' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/sepp-blatter/11673751/Sepp-Blatter-considering-staying-on-as-Fifa-president.html…

Why doesn't that surprise me?

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Any news on the extradition of those arrested? I'm guessing he's thinking there is nothing on him. It needs the Feds to sweat that lot for a few days and them to start spilling the beans. Once 1 cracks they all will.

Fifa corruption: South Africa cash 'may have been bribe'

A key figure in South Africa's football World Cup bid has broken ranks with the government and suggested he believes an FBI claim that a $10m (£6.4m) bribe was paid to secure the 2010 tournament.

Tokyo Sexwale told the BBC the allegations were "worrisome".

The government says it paid $10m to accounts controlled by then Fifa vice-president Jack Warner to support football development in the Caribbean.

An official said the money, transferred by Fifa, was given without conditions.

I hope who ever has maid this claim can spill more on this soon

 

[Spurger King]

Don't mess with the Tokyo sex whale.
