bosrs1 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 They've sued FIFA in the Court for Arbitration of SportWho's the judge, the Cat in the Hat?Presumably it's a judge from the Swiss legal system as any appeals from CAS decisions go to the Swiss Supreme Court.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_Arbitration_for_Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBolt3 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 That would be one hell of a trophy presentation though. Blatter handing out the trophy(possibly to the USWNT no less!), then BAM about ten men wisk him away into a chopper. That's Oscar worthy stuff.

IanC Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 They should really give him his own comedy show.Blatter says French and German presidents applied political pressure prior to the 2018 and 2022 World Cup votes.He added: "Those who decided this should also take the responsibility.""Before the World Cups were awarded to Russia and Qatar, there were two political interventions. Messrs Sarkozy and Wulff tried to influence their vote-makers.Blatter also claimed that the German football association (DFB) "also received such a recommendation that Germany should vote for Qatar due to economic interests."He added: "Just look at all the German companies. The Deutsche Bahn (German railways) Hochtief (construction) and many more already had projects in Qatar before the World Cup was awarded there."I act on the leadership principle. If a majority of the executive committee wants a World Cup in Qatar then I have to accept that."http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33401602 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marble21 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Lee Nelson (or whichever one of his characters you want to call him by) gets a lot of stick here in the UK for being unfunny but you really can't deny that this stunt was brilliant no matter how you look at it.I think the writing was already on the wall for Blatter at this point but it's nice to have this photo to sum it all up.

Jigga Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The amount of awesome contained in that shot cannot be quantified. It is THE picture to represent FIFA and Sepp Blatter perfectly. One minor nitpick though...if the money is fake anyway, dude should have used $100 bills. On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

jrodsep Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I will not believe that FIFA will have a new president until February 27.And the supposed air apparent is Platini which is basically Blatter 2.0. So don't expect much in term of deep rooted change. And if he ends up being the successor, I don't think that they will remove Qatar and Russia as WC sites. The only thing that will make them change is that all the big time sponsors (Coca-cola, McDonald's, Budweiser, etc) band together and drop support.

pcgd Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Except Pepsi, KenTacoHut, and Miller-Coors are waiting in the wings...Throw in Nike waiting for adidas to drop out and there really isn't any pressure on FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
