BTW - it's up to FIFA and the Swiss to go after the awarding of World Cups to Russia and Qatar - just so you know where to put those complaints.

Yep, but will they be able to get it done?

Had a kind of poetry about it, you might say.

If you are referring to my post, it was laced more with sarcasm. But I'm glad you saw it, I had thought it more obvious but my sarcasm button was dead.

But why wasn't the corruption for the Brazilian WC enuf to get someone to pull the trigger? You keep evading that point, 'G'. And I'll keep bringing it up. Justice is supposed to be the same for everyone or it's not justice, it's something else. Don't you agree?

It's good G that you pointed out to 1kiki that American is leading the way. We are not perfect but all these countries who worship the soccer god ignored the tragedy called FIFA, with Russia leading the way complaining that FIFA should be left alone to continue it's corrupt practices.

Putin coming to the defence of a thoroughly corrupt institution. And Signy and kiki coming to the defence of Putin.

Everything here seems in order.

It's not personal. It's just war.

First of all, Putin didn't defend FIFA. Second, I didn't defend Putin. Misrepresenting others is such a habit with you guys, I'm beginning to think it's not just a mistake, or prejudice, it's sheer downright and deliberate dishonesty.

But yanno, speaking of coming to the defense of a corrupt organization: At first I thought you were talking about you and THUGR and G coming to the defense of the USA. Or RAPPY coming to the defense of banks. Same difference, right? (Good thing you have your priorities straight! )

"The German government sent a shipment of rocket-propelled grenades to Saudi Arabia in order to secure support for their bid to host the 2006 World Cup, according to the latest sensational claims in the FIFA scandal."

Not one of you have mentioned Chuck Blazer. Why is that? The FIFA corruption prosecution arose out of wrongdoing by a US citizen, Chuck Blazer, who failed to pay any US taxes from 2005 to 2010 and then agreed to provide evidence about other FIFA wrongdoing as part of a plea agreement.

The other defendants include US citizens and a US company, along with their foreign co-conspirators. CONCACAF, one of the main FIFA regional entities at issue in the case, has its administrative offices in the US. FIFA's decision to award Russia the World Cup isn't at issue in the indictment.

But that's the point: Putin's fear of US aggression and interference is so deep that he sees it everywhere, regardless of whether that's actually reasonable. His answers were based on his general concerns about the United States, not on the specifics of the FIFA case. www.vox.com/2015/5/29/8683409/fifa-corruption-putin-fear
