Please explain what the massive problem is with the picture?Iran's women's soccer team
The Muslim world has MASSIVE problems son
They need a lot more than just "buildings" to be viable soccer venues
What does it have to do with the situation going on with FIFA?
I'm waiting
By the way Iran's men team is more successful than the U.S men's team.

Calm down buddy, I'm Muslim and I've been waiting for Qatar to loose the world cup since they got it. They mistreat migrant workers, confiscate passports, pay them less than they deserve. Basically they using slaves to build the world cup stadiums and that is not something that we football fans will not allow.
It doesn't have shyt to do with the race or religion. It has everything to do with humanity.

Not saying Iran don't have massive problems or that it's a great candidate to host the WC, but Iran is an 80 million people country with 6 stadiums suitable to host a world cup final.Iran's women's soccer team

Qatar has less people than Toledo.
@Billy Hoyle, Thank you, I've been to the UAE and seen first hand how they treat their workers who are mostly from the Indian subcontinent. Its actually quiet normal to be in downtown Dubai and have a foreign worker or two fall from buildings. People just start recording on their mobile phones. I have no idea how the whole world sits by while this shyt goes on.

Yo I don't know anything about Fifa why these cats were arrested or anything like that. But reading the title will my tax dollars go to paying for a trial for this shyt being that they're extradited back here?

The thing about RICO is that the government can take their stuff.
If prosecuted successfully it will not cost tax payers anything, quite the opposite actually.
And in general, you realize them cats at the DOJ get paid one way or another, right?
Like, I'm sure there's some expenses, but it's not like my girl Loretta Lynch would be on the street if they didn't press charges against those fukkers.

What has the women wearing the scarves got to do with being unable to host sporting events. Also most of those women choose to wear scarfs, so why does it bother you?
Compare that to Saudi Arabia (U.S ally) where the women can't even drive or leave home escorted. But that doesn't bother you.
The USA men team is a joke everyone knows that. Come talk to me when you beat Mexico.
We got involved when they started laundering money through the US and handling their bribes on our turf. The new AG was on the news explaining how we got involved today. It all started because one of them had $11 million in unreported income and the taxman went after it.
face on

A lot of people making comments in this thread who know nothing about the sport and its politics.
Bunch of people who are fans of the game every four years.
In terms of charges Sepp Blatter is for all intents and purposes untouchable, he has too many allies among the different federations and is owed too many favors. Even the U.S. Won't be able to make a move on him as it stands.
Everyone who isn't a casual knows UEFA > FIFA. A large part of the reason Blatter is still president is because Plantini does not want to be president.
If Qatar/Russia are stripped of their World Cups (imo they should be) England will get it before the USA does, this whole situation just makes this more likely. England was also supposedly the back up if Brazil did not get their shyt together in time.
Based on the tone of this thread it seems some you want FIFA to fail unfortunately some will be thrown under the bus but for the most part FIFA will be fine they hold way too much political and economic power to fall. They also have the people (wallets) on their side, if FIFA along with all the federations and leagues were somehow shut down it would spark World War 3.
AC Milan (top 3 Football club of all time) is owned by Silvio Burlusconi, who also serves as the clubs president and is the on again off again prime minister of Italy. Real Madrid (another top 3 Football club of all time) is owned by the fans but is head by Florentino Perez. Because of his influence Real Madrid regularly takes loans from Spanish banks that will never be paid back. Some of these guys are small fry compared to some of the FIFA guys.
Brazil National team and its respective players have made Nike too much money, and along with their reach across other sports and disciplines, I think Nike will be fine.
I wish this situation would change something, make FIFA better but it won't unless the put someone like Maradona or Romario in charge, although the potential for infinite levels of fukkery are too much to risk.
Will be interesting to see what happens.
