I don't care a dead rat's ass about FIFA or any other professional sport or it's associations. On the other hand, I wholeheartedly wish that, if the corruption was found to be involved in the awarding of the locals that they said locals are told to sit on a splintery stick and rotate - but the games won't be back in their lifetime. Two lessons need to be taught - but the briber's need to pay a bit, too, and not just the bribed. No refunds, either. Otherwise - places like Qatar can just right a bigger check (whatever they haven't yet given to ISIS). I suggest it not be held in a country too near to Russia or Putin will liberate it.

Article has apparently been updated... A 7th dirtbag has been given stainless steel bracelets now. 7 more have been indicted but apparently not arrested yet...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

It does sound a bit like a mafia to be honest. Protect the godfather at all costs!

Gotta say I did not see that one coming. Seriously though, I read a CNN quote (paraphrasing): Being surprised at FIFA corruption is like jumping in your swimming pool and being surprised at getting wet.

What we got here is a failure to communicate
