IanC Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Outgoing Fifa president Sepp Blatter is backing a proposal for the world governing body's top officials to pass integrity checks. Fifa's executive committee will discuss the proposal in Zurich on 20 July, when it will also set the date of the new presidential election.

IanC Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Will not really matter anyhow as the English Football Association have stated they will not be looking to host either 2018 or 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Will not really matter anyhow as the English Football Association have stated they will not be looking to host either 2018 or 2022If the bids were reopened I'd expect them at the front of the line. I'm also wondering if any other bids that were confirmed to be shady would be kicked out too? Spain/Portugal joint bid would probably be tossed too.

IanC Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Swiss Nespaper Blick are stating that Blatter told a group of people attending the Fifa museum that he has not resigned. He has said he put himself and his office in the hands of the Fifa congress.The more that gets reported he backtracks more and more on what has been said previously. No wonder Fifa is in such a cluster:censored: of a mess.Meanwhile it has also been reported he may not travel to Canada to present the trophy of the Women's world cup.

Kevin W. Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Meanwhile it has also been reported he may not travel to Canada to present the trophy of the Women's world cup.He probably thinks that the moment he steps foot onto Canadian soil, the US will indict him and Canadian authorities will arrest him to extradite him to the US.

MJWalker45 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I think by the end of the tournament the head of the CSA may be the person handing the trophy over to the winners. Most of the FIFA big wigs are on alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosrs1 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Looks like La Liga isn't waiting for Qatar to be shaken loose. They've sued FIFA in the Court for Arbitration of Sport over World Cup 2022, namely it being moved by physical and logistical necessity to winter. Their contention, they're going to lose 65 million Euro during the protracted league shutdown FIFA is mandating during the 2022 World Cup and that FIFA's bribe to UEFA to be split among the leagues does not cover their losses. Hopefully they're not the last league to sue.And if 2022 is pushed back into the summer, it's a foregone conclusion it's not happening independent any of the other reasons Qatar likely is going to end up not happening.
