BBC Panorama uncover mass coruption in FIFA

England world cup bid comes last in FIFA vote

...

and Russia wins...

...

yes, FIFA is clearly clean as a whistle, they have interests beyond making money from backhanders...

 

Actually Fifa and UEFA are expanding football beyond the traditional nations.  Any corruption talk is nothing but the old powers being girlyman about someone else hosting the big party. 

EXACTLY

What does UEFA a European body have anything to do with world cup football Nothing and who exactly are the new powers Russia, Spain(yes, they were good before, but not as remotely good as they are today)  for example? Qatar? who've never actually participated in a world cup tournament? I agreed on the bolded part of his post



Spain have been a footballing power for decades, they were just underachievers same as Holland, I'd place Russia as being a very good football side butI'd  hardly class them as a football power, they've always been known for their local sides in european football.

The problem with this WC draw is that they should never have held both at the same it was just asking for backhanders and deals, and the corruption part is hardly new news, its been known for quite awhile FIFA are corrupt as fuck (as are EUFA), its just a case of the evidence been gathered.

European football power? Yes. World football power? Hardly.  And Holland WAS and IS a world power. They have 3 silver medals. And by "new world power" i meant the countries that are about to become much stronger (maybe i did use wrong word) in football, not the countries that will automaticlly win WC
