Did he not realise this almost 3 years ago when he endorsed their bid?

Looks like the aussies might try and sue FIFA over this if it gets moved to winter as they were under the premis it would be a June/July tournament

Of course Mr. Blatter thinks they are as untouchable as ever

I think Australia have a case, but im sure Fifa could come up with some technicality to protect themselves.

Some of FIFA's sponsors have pulled out. May help force change, but not yet convinced it will.

Good news. Let's hope it is a catalyst for change.

I fully expect L'Oreal to become FIFA's main sponsor once Ginola replaces Blatter.

Not sure it would be worth it.

Odd behaviour by Paddy Power, but in line with some of their other bizarre stunts.

Candidates must pass an anti-corruption test before they can be confirmed..............

So it begs the question, how the hell has Sepp Blatherer got away with it for so long? If nothing else, the bloke is mentally corrupt. He spouts so much **** he makes our Jayney look positively intelligent.
