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.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
