FIFA to release Gracia corruption report to public

Fifa executives have unanimously agreed to publish a "legally appropriate version" of a report into allegations of World Cup bidding corruption.

However, world football's governing body insisted Russia and Qatar will stay as hosts of the 2018 and 2022 tournaments respectively.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter said he asked the executive committee to vote in favour of publishing the report.

"We have always been determined the truth should be known," he said.

"That is, after all, why we set up an independent ethics committee with an investigatory chamber that has all necessary means to undertake investigations on its own initiative."

So far only a disputed summary of Michael Garcia's 430-page report into the bidding process for the forthcoming World Cups has been published.

Releasing the full report - which is likely be heavily redacted to preserve witness confidentiality - is a change in Fifa policy.

However, it will only be released once ongoing investigations into five individuals are completed.

The governing body had originally resisted pressure from both report author Garcia and others to publish the full report.

The American lawyer resigned on Wednesday after his appeal against the published summary of his report by fellow Fifa ethics committee chairman Hans-Joachim Eckert was dismissed.

Garcia said the findings released, following his two-year investigation into allegations of corruption, were "incomplete and erroneous".

This is bullshit...  Yea, we took bribes but lets just keep World Cup in those countries so no one asks for a refund...

 

UEFA was extremely unhappy with FIFA and took some major shots at them.  FIFA had no other choice but to publish this report because their credibility is pretty much destroyed as an organization.

 

FBI also decided to investigate FIFA...  I think FIFA knew they are fuged so at least they decided to come forward.

 

I honestly think they did not want FBI to dig around because there are much more corruption than just World Cup bids.

This right here. They are trying to mitigate the punishment by "self-imposing" this report release. They don't want the FBI to come digging for fear of what they will find, because I'm certain their corruption goes really deep. I hope the FBI keeps digging.

u know gedion zalden forgot last name is he any good and is it true he wants to play for US over Germany

 

Yea, he's pretty good for young talent.  The reason he prefers to play for US over Germany is because if he cracks German squad, he will probably be on the bench and will likely start if he chooses to play for US.

thats what I thought is he a striker

Nope, he's a creative attacking midfielder.  He's playing right behind striker.  Arsenal coach actually let him play with starters in few games this season which is extremely unusual.  I don't recall seeing any other 17 year old getting 1st team reps.  Arsenal coach sees something in him. He will be 18 years old next year so it is likely that Arsenal will give him more playing time.  He's a very good passer and tricky with quick feet but he still makes mental errors which is normal for 17 years old.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
