FIFA arrests (now with improved Blatter/Platini bans!)

[Frenline Delpha]

Blatter resigned, claimed it was voluntary. More likely he was thrown out.

Good on him to resign three days after the election

Blatter is now missing and fifa's bank accounts are now empty.

It seems he has embezzled billions from fifa.

Warrants have been issued for his arrest the world over.


Fifa may not survive.

Yes. Now the USRTWFA can form.
But, in all honesty, is this a bad thing? FIFA needs a wipe, and now is that time.

Thrown out by whom? As you pointed out, he was just resoundingly re-elected.

Thrown out by the sponsors.

[Twisted Duality]

Could be Uefa threatening to pull out, the sponsors threatening to pull out, or the fact he knows he is screwed because of the letter thats about of Valcks authorising the 10 mill bribe to Warner, and the fact that according to the US media the US authorities are investigating him now. Be fair, someone is going to flip on him for a plea bargin

Whoa whoa whoa, Blatter's done a runner? Do you have a source on that, I can't find it reported.

Not exactly surprised I guess, it makes sense for him to run for the Caymans with as much money as he can fit in his pockets.

G & D enjoys doing that - posting BS that looks real.

Well that's certainly immature of him.

Blatter's resignation itself is a large upset though - just days ago it seemed he intended to go down with his ship, all the while proclaiming that icebergs were for lesser men.

Just ran a search for "Blatter resigns" and found a slew of news sites running it:

And so on. Looks like it's for realsies!

Sounds like a lot of nasty corruption took place; I'm- glad Blatter resigned and the rest of them got arrested!

Yeah, I knew he'd resigned - G&D was saying he'd fled pending arrest, though. Which turned out to be a lie.

Ah, yeah, good point. That it sounds plausible probably speaks volumes about Blatter though.

Take everything he says as humor and you'll sometimes find yourself chuckling.

So it's been less than 48 hours and we've already Poe'd?

[Lunatic Goofballs]

Was he a Blatter that mattered?

[The Blaatschapen]

Not really.

He sepped down.

So now that FIFA has released it's Blatter, is it feeling more relaxed?

Good on him to resign three days after the election

It's voluntary. Anyone who claims it's because his own secretary was caught moving bribes to tax havens is clearly a tool of the FBI/UEFA/Illuminati/Freemasons/Commies/Zurich Canton Police/Jews/Mafia/Nazis/Reptilians.

Thrown out by whom? As you pointed out, he was just resoundingly re-elected.

Since when was winning by default a "resounding reelection"?

Ask North Korea.

Nice article in the Washington post Bout the journalist who started the investigation,

He seems to he pretty fond of the fbi.

Was it really a win by default? He had enough of a majority to win the second round so his opponent opted to concede in order to save everyone's time.

Unsubstantiated speculation in his part.
He challenged the position in the first round of voting, forcing a second round.

Not too bad a song, but I'm pretty sure that England are going to win.

An investigating documentary made by BBC should be a slight bit more relevant than some kind of clown on American TV.
