Maybe they classify this one as one of the times where they're doing to to maintain the integrity of Switzerland. That's the only time they ever break their neutrality policy. They've only done it a select few times since 1815. FIFA went and woke up the sleeping giant.

So, anyone want to make a wager on what rich Middle Eastern country with tons of oil money FIFA will relocate HQ to?

We're on the same page here. The shite they do to players they "own" is criminal. I'm here for you, Gale.

Y'all. This feels like fricking Christmas. In fact I'm enjoying this more than I enjoyed Christmas this past year. And it was a pretty solid Christmas.

The backlash from Russia if they were to be stripped of the 2018 WC would be outrageous - likely terrifying. I'm all for it.

So, who else is running for FIFA president on Friday? I hope the justice dept had some clarity on how the dominoes would fall because I don't want to see Platini or someone else just as corrupt as Blatter filling the void.

FIFA says there will be no revote of the World Cups won by Russia for 2018 & Qatar for 2022 in light of arrests of FIFA officials.

Talk about some weak damage control. Prison labor and bribes in Russia and slave labor and bribes in Qatar. Ok FIFA.

You can bet your arse Blatter is going to push for them on Friday. Any delay will cause some flips in votes.
