Blatter resigns as FIFA boss

Cam's contact, Blatter resigning, great day yesterday! Don't think details will be made public, but I'm quite sure he'll be presented with some serious evidence they had against him. Now let's hope the new boss will be someone who puts soccer ahead of personal power. I really hope Figo will get a shot at it, but might be too soon for him.

Great news. Any indications on what this could mean for Qatar?

​It's certainly possible. There was a report released recently that stated the entire 2022 Bid Committe has been advised not to travel to the United States for fear of being arrested.

At this point in time, I think it's a longshot, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of the 2022 vote being reopened.

I think there would be too much financial consequenses for the FIFA if the bid would be reopened. Qatar already spent billions of dollar upgrading their infrastructure and stadiums, can't believe they would do that without any guarantees.

​Well, I'm not sure guarantees hold up when the deal made was illegal in the first place.

If Qatar stripped of World Cup, this will discourage other nations from committing briberies.  If Qatar keeps World Cup, this will encourage others to take the risk.

Also,  Russia launched new offensive on Ukrainians today.  This can cost them World Cup as well if they continue to attack, especially MH17 report should be finalized sometime this year.

Chuck Blazer, FIFA official, just admitted receiving bribes from France and South American World Cups.  

This his is not even the tip of an iceberg...  Get ready for a roller coaster ride, folks.

 

Wait until the bribes announced by Qatar and Russians... It's coming.

    • Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.
    • Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane  
    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
