But I've still not forgiven you lot for George W Bush

first off, let's keep politics off this thread - secondly, two words: Tony Blair

I'd have Tony Blair up in court for war crimes, can't stand the man! Agreed no more politics.

Probably not. The US only has jurisdiction to prosecute crimes committed on US soil, though that can be extended slightly to bank accounts. Blatter hasn't made it a priority of his to tour the USA frequently so it'd be hard to catch him on crimes committed on US soil. That's why most of the people charged were CONCACAF or CONMEBOL. As a result, the most corrupt man in football, Issa Hayatou, isn't in any danger.

According to the BBC, most of the bribes were ("allegedly") made through US accounts by people who travelled to US soil to make them, so there's every reason the FBI can delve right to the bottom of it.

In my completely unrealistic and impossible dreams all the top countries agree to send their A teams to a summer tournament in the USA in 2022 and send their B team to Qatar.

"As unfortunate as these events are, it should be clear that we welcome the actions and the investigations by the US and Swiss authorities and believe that it will help to reinforce measures that FIFA has already taken to root out any wrongdoing in football." (Statement by FIFA President Blatter, 5/27/15)

I know all of the papers are waiting on Blatter to get arrested so they can print a version of: "Red Card For Blatter"

You don't want the government coming down on you with RICO laws. Those are designed to take on big, powerful corrupt organizations. They allow the government to use a few tricks that aren't usually available to them, too.

FIFA done screwed up this time.
