This is extremely fascinating to me. I'm a very casual soccer fan but it's still so funny that the US were the ones that got buck. 
America was like '
fukk it we ain't got shyt to lose.'

Like I said, our gov doesn't give a shyt about soccer. They don't give a shyt about any sport. They put fukkin baseball, the so-called "Favorite American past-time" on trial for the PED scandal. The amount of money these organizations make pales in comparison to the trillions they generate. If someone is fukkin with that trillions they go after you. They started in after college football. People were like, "why is the government involved in this". Well, this should tell you. Someone got on that radar doing something foul in regards to some taxes or wire fraud or something like that. They just never let it get that far and started giving orders behind the scenes. Poof, college playoff takes precedence over the bowl system.

The fans who'll be travelling to Qatar and Russia for the next two world cups, bro
Yup...the very moment they found out nikkas was setting up those tax havens and that was a major point as to why no American bid was looked at seriously...
DOJ went ham.

Like traveling to Australia and getting killed by the Steve Irwin stingray was any better.
We gon act like Moscow ain't one of the most beautiful cities in the world and everyone is going to Dubai to be peed on.
All these fans care about is Messi beating plumbers in La Liga and video games. They gon watch anyway.
In short what the fukk is going on?

I think the most amusing part of this whole saga is the fact USMNT fans think FIFA corruption explains their lack of international success .American fans acting like they have the biggest grievance against FIFA. For what? WC 2022 
Do you think 1994 was a clean bid? Hell this very investigation uncovered that the U.S. became Copa America 2016 hosts through bribery but you will not stop with this aggrieved victim narrative.

They're just mad some island brehs are getting their cut.
At least Russia has decent stadia......that Qatar shyt was obviously the straw.....
And hopefully this sheds more light on the human rights shyt in Qatar.....
Brazil should have sparked an investigation by itself

Even Brazil 2014 was trash by most accounts - WOAT public transport for a major sporting event according to mad people.Like traveling to Australia and getting killed by the Steve Irwin stingray was any better.

Just skimmed through this thread and I see American football thread brehs trying to spin yarn that the American Soccer brass was only corrupt under Chuck Blazer 
So 100 million plus on Copa America 2016 bribes and no one American was involved huh?

From a football point of view, England or Germany yes but what about the two countries who supply the most fans to World Cups, the US and Mexico?
Football is about to be UEFA vs. everyone. The fall of Sepp Blatter is akin to ousting Saddam Hussein. He is evil but he's keeping that shyt together.
