FIFA Officials Arrested on Corruption Charges; Face Extradition to U.S.

[superunknown23]

Deportiva La Coruna tied barca 2-2 a couple of days ago

Sevilla just won the Europa League again, sending FIVE Spanish teams to the Champions League next season.
Spanish teams routinely beat English teams in Europe, yet EPL fans keep hyping up their league (as if Barca wouldn't put 5 or 6 past teams like QPR, West Brom or Leicester)
The EPL has won a whopping 4 CLs in the last 25 years!

Only thing the EPL has is money due to marketing and Arab/Russian oil money.
Looking at you Man shytty and Chel$ki

Premier league is the best marketed league in the world (not the best league tho).... last year I was driving in Lagos on a saturday afternoon in the hood, turned a corner and saw about 600 Man Utd fans all wearing jerseys in the middle of the road singing with weapons on the way to a viewing centre to see them play chelsea......

The way the top clubs in England have marketed themselves is phenomenal especially Chelsea Arsenal and Man Utd, their worldwide reach is only matched by Barca and Real.

What I'll bet on is that Blatter has never taken a bribe or kickback personally or had someone do it directly on his behalf. I doubt anyone will be able to do anything but insinuate that it was. He'll come out with the rest of his public perception crushed..... And skate on through until this next term is over.

The process for the World Cup host voting has been more corrupt than the Olympics and this has more to do with TV rights than that. Basically for TV rights to competitions, FIFA and the confederations sells the rights to middlemen (who have bribed them) and then receive kickbacks on the sales of the rights to broadcasters and networks. For those who want to know, ESPN is Teflon from this because they own so much equity in the broadcast rights now and American rights are the most valuable. There is no middleman.

But the most telling thing will be if Nike really did force the Brazilian Federation to play Ronaldo in the 98 World Cup Final even though the man had a seizure the night before. If that shyt comes out..... Nike Soccer might as well become Jumpman Soccer, because it's not coming back from that.

Foreign revenues, foreign owners, foreign coaches and foreign players (even mediocre teams are full of them)... Remove them and the EPL turns into the Dutch or Belgian league
The only "englishness" of the Premier League now is the teams location

Hoods in England

Only UEFA has asked him not to run, Africa and Asia want the vote to go on and South America has said nothing. Europe used to be more powerful but FIFA is one country one vote so they are fukked. UEFA has the advantage of their superior league but Blatter played his politics straight by moving around the WC and giving cash to developing country FAs.

Edit :Qatar money is all over the European game too with Emirates sponsorships. Platini voted for them , Pep and Zidane were working for them too.

The way i've understood it is that blatter has set everyone else up to take the fall for this day without ever being guilty of anything himself.
