Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter has said the United States would be capable of hosting the 2022 World Cup amid fresh corruption claims against Qatar.

"Germany could do it. But this would mean the World Cup being staged in Europe again after 2018," Blatter told German outlet Sport Bild. "Europe therefore would not be first choice."

"The United States could do it instead of 2026," he said. "They are capable, it's not rocket science! Japan could also do it. They also bid to host the 2022 World Cup.

"The investigations are part of a major plot against me," Blatter said, adding that he found it "unbelievable" investigators looked at the "normal contract" he made with the CFU for over four years.

In a second criminal case, Blatter is accused of having arranged a payment of €1.8 million to then-UEFA president Michel Platini in February 2011, but Blatter is convinced the charges will be dropped as well.

"What else should the federal prosecutors do? This case is not even related to criminal law," he said. "It's a process within an association, FIFA, and thus civil law."

And once Blatter has been freed from all charges, he expects to be rehabilitated by FIFA, the association he served for 41 years until his exit in 2015.

When asked whether they should name him an honorary president for developing the association into what it is now, he said: "This would be the best reaction from FIFA."

However, Blatter also continues to deal with other problems. Having been shut out from his FIFA office, he is yet to be handed back his collection of watches by his successor Infantino.

"That's totally without respect, you can already call it impudence," he said. "But this will all be solved."

The absolute state of Sepp Blatter.

Oceania world cup would be lit af

Bill Clinton sandbagged the US bid and took a huge bribe from Qatar to advocate for them behind the scenes. Earned a huge couple of donations to his bullshite Global fund. Shouldve been lined against a wall for treason. Shocking no journalists want to dig into this more.

Blatter being the guy to offer advice on how to fix a corrupt World Cup is an amazing display of self-confidence

This and another gift were for WJC standing down on the US bid and supporting Qatar bid. Insane nobody really put it together - Deadspin sniffed around a little before they become insanely left wing

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Clinton Foundation has confirmed it accepted a $1 million gift from Qatar while Hillary Clinton was U.S. secretary of state without informing the State Department, even though she had promised to let the agency review new or significantly increased support from foreign governments. Qatari officials pledged the money in 2011 to mark the 65th birthday of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton's husband, and sought to meet the former U.S. president in person the following year to present him the check, according to an email from a foundation official to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta. The email, among thousands hacked from Podesta's account, was published last month by WikiLeaks
