FIFA Corruption Thread

[ChesterDave]

I came to bump this very thread rather than post it in General Football. I don't even need to click that link to know what the story is.

It absolutely stinks. He will never serve that ban. He will retire from international football after the world cup. And I bet loads of players from smaller nations are due to miss the first match won't get the same treatment

WTF?!? Just making **** up cos it suits them and they can.

Didn't Trump refuse to return the World Cup trophy or something? Maybe they think if they give him another shiny bauble, he'll let go of the one he is currently clutching. I use the same tactic when I want my cat to drop a toy.

It was the world club cup trophy

It's quite the achievement to be more of a complete and utter dickhead than Sepp Blatter but Infantino continues to manage that with flying colours

And from the same thread,

The next step is surely the 'FIFA anti-corruption medal?

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

It's the whole grandeur and self importance of trying to step into something that doesn't really concern FIFA to do this type of bull**** that is one of many things that are annoying about FIFA and Infantino

We all know where it is going, but it would be funny as if, at the announcement in Washington, they pull a fast one and call out Obama's name. Trump would be apoplectic!

Quite amusing how they pulled the no shirt off as they wanted football out of politics, yet... here we are.

Sooner we get these crusty white men in suits out of the game the better. Sadly most players love playing for their country.

Not corruption (yet) but WTF? Also have an idea where this award is going...

[Kenneth]

Yep, FIFA are now the touts for world cup tickets.

[ChesterDave]

Late to the party but just seen the World Cup tickets resale platform news. Dirty little parasites.

[Mark79]
