Beckenbauer suspended from all football activity for 90 days for refusing to talk to ethics committee.

I wonder what happens after 90days, he carries on having not answered questions designed for him?

[-V-]

Beckenbauer sounds corrupt too. Visited Qatar on behalf of Hamburg shipping company ER Capital Holding and around that time went back and forth at on the invitation of the Qatari's. Also now an ambassador for the Association of Russian Gas Producers.

Bribed by both Qatar and Russia and now pleads ignorance.

Thing is this happens for every vote, football is so corrupt

At the very least there appear to be many undeclared conflicts of interest. Any organisation with its salt should be all over that, but not our dear football governance bodies.

Not sure why everyone is so down on FIFA

They do some very good work........

"Fifa have confirmed that fans will be allowed to take their England flags into the stadium, but the England band, who have become a familiar part of past World Cup games by playing the theme from the Great Escape and leading the crowd in song, will be told they cannot take their instruments into the venue"

Good. can't stand that ****ing band.

[baitman]

some fans have taken massive drums into the columbia v greece game.

to prevent us taking a trumpet, trombone and a couple of little drums into the stadium is a breach of our human rights and tantamount to a declaration of war.
racist cunts

They make vuvuzelas seem appealing, that Ingerlund brass band! Good on you FIFA!

I dont know anyone that likes that ****ing band. Totally trashes what little atmosphere Wembley has usually.

Great escape after 3 minutes is never welcome.

a load of young'uns kept on chanting.....

"we're the self preservation society!" - just those words about 3 or four times and then stop...

and repeat

Blatter has confirmed he is running for re-election despite previous promises to the contrary. I wish this parasite would just crawl away somewhere.

He wont ever quit, he cannot afford to

The moment he leaves there someone will discover where "the bodies are buried" and he will end up in prison

[Woobus]

The next person in charge will have his hands bloody already. Doubt any honest person would ever get those kind of jobs, need to be very machiavellian to get elected.

The ****e he came out with about 'the football family' asking him to stay makes me feel sick.
