That chart that was posted earlier, it said that Qatar was a "high risk" host country. Hosting the World Cup would make them a low risk, shyt isn't brain surgery :heh:

High risk means there's a high risk they'll fukk this up.
You know, like they did, what with all the people dead and having to move the world cup to the winter.

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.
