Dawn raids on FIFA officials

[Brown Nose]

The sporting equivalent of the Jimmy Savile scandal may finally be about to switch from speculation and conspiracy to the truth*.

The FBI are the ones to finally say enough is enough. The FBI being one of the few international corrupt organisations without their trouts in this particular trough.

If you wish to revisit some of the context for these corrupt, self-serving, scumbags, here is a decent summary: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/may/22/circus-maximus-andrew-zimbalist-review?CMP=share_btn_tw

Will the Rio Olympics even happen? Will Russia 2018 or Qatar 2022 even happen? Some crazy shit is going to come out before this ends. How long before Sepp claims dementia?

*when I say truth, I mean of course a little truth. The rest will obviously be shredded, bargained away, withheld due to expensive lawyers, etc.

The lack of immediate responses to this post suggest that we can avoid another thread deteriorating into oblivion by means of a relentless series of predictable fish puns.

I hope this isn't just a minor sprat between FIFA and the FBI.

In attempt to get away from the incessant fish puns, here a FIFA ballot from the vote for Qatar:



An easy decision for them to make, I'll bet they didn't even mullet over
