It is bizarre that the brit is asking for a Uefa boycott over issues to do with the corruption around the Qatar bid and vote, when Qatari cheerleader Platini and the Uefa based executives voted en masse for Qatar. And the bogey man in the spotlight, Blatter didn't vote for Qatar.
Bernstein's asking for support from Uefa countries, while at the same time he's slagging off those who supported the Qatar bid as "making one of the most ludicrous decisions in the history of sport".
The FA obviously didn't go out of their way to court Jack Warner and line his pockets at all, so luckily they're innocent. The Australian media's articles on their own FA's dealings have been a lot more self-critical and transparent.
Bernstein has some balls?

Mad stuff altogether!
There won't be any re-vote on Qatar though. Full steam ahead.
Very much an inside job and major house cleaning vibe to this one. A bit disquieting when the FBI are involved in this, yet their own sports, especially college sports, are about as clean as a pig sty. Then again, this suits the suits nicely.
Chuck Blazer.

Holy ****.
The Guardian article says he uses a mobility scooter to get around - was chased through New York in one actually. He weighs 32 stone.
Interesting read actually. Took all the money he should have spent on tax and ate it instead.
I wonder did his surname influence his career choice?
Im guessing the misdemeanours in US sport are probably the FDA's remit, not the FBI?Quote:

That apparent girth must surely be down to camera perspective. He can't be that big... Can he?!
Roy Keane's worst enemy - a blazer actually called Blazer.
Jeez, some delegates arrested, others nowhere to be seen . It's a regular First Dail over there.
Doesn't seem to be a hope that Blatter will step down, or lose. Not that I know much about the other candidate anyway. Better question is what happens if Blatter is re-elected and then arrested the next week.

Rumor has it that when they all got arrested, they fell down and rolled around for ten minutes faking an injury...

Sepp Blatter resigns. Hallelujah!
