So... Who do you think Washington will make next FIFA president?

Because I'm sure Washington will only allow someone to become next FIFA president who is willing to take the 2018 world cup away from russia - because that's what this move by the US is all about.

Too bad most people are so happy about FIFA and Blatter being punished that they do not even wonder what the US motivations for this may have been.

Nonsense.  This has been coming for years.  Blatter is as crooked as they come.

Yeah, and of course, in your strange world-view, it was just a strange coincidence that these FIFA arrests (which, as you correctly said, have been investigated "for years") happened just two days before the FIFA elections.

And of course, it's just a coincidence that the media is almost exclusively blaming and concentrating on Blatter - despite the fact that while seven people were arrested, there are not even official charges against Blatter.

He was the guy in charge, so of course they're going to concentrate on him especially considering how senior these officials were. He was either just as corrupt as the other officials to allow it to take place or completely incompetent to not notice it was happening.
