WAKE UP EVERYONE!!!!!...........FIFA is not a company, and does not own football, thier only purpose is to represent the members, that means everyone who plays and watches football, past, present and future.........the crooks running FIFA are busy lining their own pockets with cash that should be going back into the game. The whole FIFA organisation needs ripping apart and we should start again, this lot are rotten to the core, and cannot be trusted, especially Sepp Blatter!!!!
@samplersam69 but at the end of the day FIFA is not a democracy and as a private organisation can make its own rules - providing that the members agree of course. If those rules include bribery then one needs to play by those rules!
Maybe those organisations which are opposed to how FIFA is run ought to start their own organisation?
But FiFA's rules and code's of practice do make it a democracy, where taking bribes or doing anything for personal gain is outlawed.......the rules are in black and white, it's just NO-ONE from the FIFA 'FAMILY' (Mafia) is clean enough to do anything about it, hence, Sepp threatens to take everyone down with him, and the fearful ones vote him back in again, so the ONLY way is for the whole thing to be taken apart and rebuilt 'fit for purpose'......BOYCOTT THE 2014 SPONSORS !!!
@samplersam69 I have not read their code of practice and if that is what the rules are then they need to be respected. I do not think that boycotting the sponsors is the answer - would a threat to boycott the tournament work better?
I for one also think it's purely 'sour grapes.' If England had won the right to host the games, I do not believe the British press and media (BBC!) would have kicked up such a 'fuss' about all the dirty tactics and bribery going on. It's quite sad really - corruption is 'everywhere,' not just confined to other countries. Let's not blame other countries - remember the UK gov expenses scandal anyone? England lost and are now acting like little kids in a school yard! BBC, Sky news etc - let it go!!
sorry but i think you've got it wrong, the 'fuss' at this time is actually about this coming elections where bin hammam and warner are accused of lobbying votes with money as incentives or bribes..... they have not touched and by the looks of it will not at all look into WC2018 and '22 votes or change that outcome. its all about politics ( Blatter = Ghaddafi = Mubarak )
Switzerland can be the hero here by kicking out FIFA and corrupt Blatter. they can go down as the ones who played a big part in getting rid of corruption, and going down in history what country is gonna accept a bunch of corrupt old businessmen?
forget Corruption . just ask the question what is FIFA´S true motivations.. yes you got it they are just a firm making money off the name of football...Based in Zurich they run football only because they can make money.. this is the question here
@peterpetersbng I don't think there is anything wrong with making money, after all no-one works for nothing and they need some cash when they go down to Tescos. I think the problem is in underhand payments or if bribery is the rule, at least say openly how much each bribe is going to cost!
