and England are the bad guys.

The 42-page report by German judge Hans-Joachim Eckert, chairman of FIFA's independent ethics committee, confirms Qatar and Russia as the hosts for the 2022 and 2018 tournaments, stating any rule breaches by the bidding countries were "of very limited scope".
However, Russia came in for some criticism after failing to provide copies of all their emails from the bid organisation on the basis their computer equipment has since been scrapped.
The report also criticised England’s bid for the 2018 tournament – with the FA’s relationship with disgraced former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner highlighted - including paying £35,000 for a gala dinner for Caribbean officials, providing "substantial assistance" for a training camp for an under-20 Trinidad and Tobago team and securing a job in the UK for a family friend.
The report states: "Relevant occurrences included Mr Warner pressing, in 2009 and again in 2010, England's bid team to help a person of interest to him find a part-time job in the UK.
"England 2018's top officials in response not only provided the individual concerned with employment opportunities, but also kept Mr Warner apprised of their efforts as they solicited his support for the bid.

FIFA investigator Michael Garcia has said he will appeal the findings of the FIFA Ethics Report released earlier today. Details to follow here and on SSNHQ.
Basically FIFA took his report and spun it their way. Not the findings he had.

The Football Association is refusing to “accept any criticism” regarding their bid for the 2018 World Cup after they were accused of flouting rules by world football's governing body.However, the report accuses the FA of flouting FIFA’s bidding rules and questioned the conduct of their officials, who helped secure a job in the UK for a family friend of disgraced former FIFA vice-president Jack Warner.
An FA spokesman said: "We note the FIFA ethics committee has today published a 42-page report in relation to the bidding processes for the FIFA World Cups in 2018 and 2022.

Report: "Qatar is not only home to corruption, but also human rights abusers."
FIFA summary: "Qatar is not ... corrupt ... but ... human"

You know, in this complex world where nothing seems to be black or white, but subtle shifting grays, it is a great comfort to have FIFA around. You can cheerfully set your moral compass by doing the opposite of what FIFA does and rest easy knowing you are doing the right thing.

At what point does the SEC break away from FIFA?

Did anyone truly think there was going to be an outcome different from this? FIFA investigating itself...of COURSE they'll come out clean.

All that does is guarantee the US won't host another WC during our lifetimes.
