FIFA Election 2016
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Hate to have this kind of attitude but only the British, Germans and Americans can be trusted to keep athletic events straight up.
Not those East Germans though.
lol what there have been FIFA individuals from those countries that have been accused as well..or at least accused or something...honestly i think everyone at FIFA has some dirt.
I forget why the Don is there, but you shouldn't read anything in to it. Sunil is the one person that can't really hide from the threat of arrest/extradition (not implying there's anything on him or a reason to dodge) since he's based in NYC and the Eastern District of NY (Brooklyn) is where the hoopla all started. If the Fed ever wanted to bring him in, they could do it any morning they choose while he's getting his morning bagel and coffee on the corner.
the pro rel guys are having a fit im sure lol.
but i do think there is some dirt on sunil....especially since he was quite close with chuck blazer...i feel the investigation is not there yet.

They are talking about forming one large Caribbean League? wow that would kinda be a big deal for CONCACAF, maybe they break off?
i heard this but not sure if they will actually do it....that will give them guaranteed WC slots....at the expense of CONCACAF.

Infatino want a 40 team wc that only works if u give Europe no new slots. 1 to cfu and 1 to Oceana. Rest to asia Africa and maybe a unified Americas.
i dont think it goes thru if UEFA doesnt get an extra spot at least.
Can't say I'm enthused with the appointment. Infantino has never seemed corrupt like Blatter always was, nor a bit smarmy like Platini, but he represents a victory for the old guard. I can't see too much changing under him and I fear that, while the corruption may bury itself deep below the surface to avoid being targeted again, it will remain there.
Not to mention that you can be sure his reign will be one marked as a victory for continuity - continuing all of the old non-corrupt acts of Blatter, such as prostituting out the World Cup for sponsor/TV money, trying to expand competitions to be as big as they can, plus all the block voting by confederations and the reluctance to embrace the future with technology and rule changes and so on. I think the only candidate who could've actually reformed FIFA in the way it needs reforming was Prince Ali of Jordan. He had the ideas which could've turned FIFA into what it should be.
Realistically, at this point as far as I'm concerned we're back to Square One. Tear it down and start again, says I.
Funny you should say that. This guy was outside FIFA headquarters yesterday:
I know what you're talking about, although (and this is from yesterday)...
