Well, they got a nice 10 minute break here during which they can storm in.

I was watching through ESPN....looks like the feed has been cut with a message stating that "This live event is over."

Anyone else get that?

I got it on the YouTube feed. Does this mean we don't get to see it all go down?

Thanks for the link. It looks like ESPN was showing the YouTube feed on their site, but it's weird they got the message about the live event being over.


ETA: I see, they cut the feed in the breaks and start a new feed. Odd.

Did anyone just see Bob Ley? He made it sound like FIFA delayed the break to jump back to agenda 11.

Jeremy Schaap had to tell him to not get frustrated.

"A much calmer voice in my ear is telling me we're getting there. We look for logic from FIFA, but it's a fruitless search."

The UEFA and other big coutires just need to break away. Blatter wins because crap countires only care about getting FIFA $$$. They in no way deserve the same money as places like Germany, Englad, Brazil, US etc.

Hopefully a new organization can form at some point. UEFA breaking would be a huge step and other countries will follow.

UEFA's got a bunch of bent federations as well, though.

Yeah, he was in favor of Qatar hosting the World Cup as well. Things won't change with him.

The bigger issue is why every country has the same number of votes. Ludicrous.

Why should a small nation have the same influence as Spain or Germany? It should be weighted based on rank of the team in the world.

A small island should be irrelevant.
