Ali ain't no fool. He got the scoop about the incoming raid. Dude is just bailing out before shit gets cray cray.

Fuck FIFA and these corrupt assholes.
 
You know what the problem is, EUROPE (not Eastern Europe) fucking put the nail in the coffin for Prince Ali. Thinking they could bully the rest of the world to sing their tune. F**k them. Change comes gradually, and not by threats and bullying.
 
Don't UEFA/CONMEBOL basically sanction those anyway?

You're basically just kicking out FIFA at the top and replacing it with another body. You can copy all their rules if you want.

Between 2000 and 2008 there was an organisation called G-14, it was comformed by the following clubs:

Founding members, 2000
Real Madrid (Spain)
Barcelona (Spain)
Liverpool (England)
Manchester United (England)
Internazionale (Italy)
Juventus (Italy)
Milan (Italy)
Marseille (France)
Paris Saint-Germain (France)
Bayern Munich (Germany)
Borussia Dortmund (Germany)
Ajax (Netherlands)
PSV (Netherlands)
Porto (Portugal)

New members, 2002
Arsenal (England)
Bayer Leverkusen (Germany)
Lyon (France)
Valencia (Spain)

They were at odds with UEFA all the time and threatened to create an European Super League and leave UEFA, had they done that, the money would have gone there, since they are the biggest clubs in the world. Even today there are still rumblings about creating such league when UEFA does something that goes against the clubs.

Hope they fucking arrest him soon.
 
In truth, these smaller nations have benefited greatly from Blatter's leadership through investment irrespective of whether or not their executives were given moneybags.

Absolutely. My point is, Blatter's system of corruption within FIFA is something which is only possible because in terms of football to most of the world, FIFA is the one who really "cares" about them. This is something that can't be taken for granted. The hold Blatter has is about more than just money, it's a deep cultural problem. UEFA is seen as the rich boys who already made it in the world of football and spend all their time talking shit and criticizing others while looking down on them. This is why even when they're right about something, the rest of the world doesn't want to listen.
 
If UEFA is serious about bailing out, they should talk to the CONMEBOL, if they are not
They are not
, they are going to write a stronged worded letter

They were never going to vote for Ali, Blatter's done too much for them both above and below board. Blatter buttered everyone's bread on both sides.
 
With Blatter staying there's a better chance for external law enforcement to come in and shut shit down. Voting in Ali would've given them the excuse to say that they have everything under control because they're internally ousting corrupt individuals.

This is Blatter's sinking "boat". Let him sink with it as the active captain, not Ali.
