Leoz is the clown who asked England to knight him in exchange for a World Cup vote. He also wanted the FA cup to be named after him

Today’s events are a disaster for FIFA and tarnish the image of football as a whole.
UEFA is deeply shocked and saddened by them.
These events show, once again, that corruption is deeply rooted in FIFA’s culture.
There is a need for the whole of FIFA to be “rebooted” and for a real reform to be carried out.
The upcoming FIFA Congress risks to turn into a farce and therefore the European associations will have to consider carefully if they should even attend this Congress and caution a system, which, if it is not stopped, will ultimately kill football.
The UEFA member associations are meeting tomorrow ahead of the FIFA Congress. At that point, the European associations will decide on what further steps need to be taken to protect the game of football.
In the meantime, the members of the UEFA Executive Committee are convinced that there is a strong need for a change to the leadership of this FIFA and strongly believe that the FIFA Congress should be postponed, with new FIFA presidential elections to be organised within the next six months

FIFA's statement:

This is a difficult time for football, the fans and for FIFA as an organisation. We understand the disappointment that many have expressed and I know that the events of today will impact the way in which many people view us.
As unfortunate as these events are, it should be clear that we welcome the actions and the investigations by the US and Swiss authorities and believe that it will help to reinforce measures that FIFA has already taken to root out any wrongdoing in football.
While there will be many who are frustrated with the pace of change, I would like to stress the actions that we have taken and will continue to take. In fact, today’s action by the Swiss Office of the Attorney General was set in motion when we submitted a dossier to the Swiss authorities late last year.
Let me be clear: such misconduct has no place in football and we will ensure that those who engage in it are put out of the game. Following the events of today, the independent Ethics Committee – which is in the midst of its own proceedings regarding the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups - took swift action to provisionally ban those individuals named by the authorities from any football-related activities at the national and international level. These actions are on top of similar steps that FIFA has taken over the past year to exclude any members who violate our own Code of Ethics.
We will continue to work with the relevant authorities and we will work vigorously within FIFA in order to root out any misconduct, to regain your trust and ensure that football worldwide is free from wrongdoing.

I never listen to the clown, but I just overheard Doug Gottlieb say these arrests are "the least surprising news of all time".
I guess he's trying to wow people with his knowledge of FIFA being corrupt, but he's probably too stupid to realize that the reason this is news and he's even talking about it is because actual arrests for corruption in FIFA are indeed surprising.

With all of this coming out, any minute there's going to be an announcement stating that the DOJ has raided EA Sports and made arrests in connection with handicapping that players have claimed to experience in FIFA games for years. I mean, shite, everything else has happened.

I mean, the man said "they know where I sleep," which is a killer quote for a villain.

I'm really surprised we haven't heard any news about CONCACAF's stance on the vote. I'm really worried that UEFA won't boycott the vote because no one else will back them if they do.
