So tell me again why they bother counting the votes ?
What happens if most ballot papaers had a blank ?

Jeeze mugabe, mubarak and hussein would be impressed with that ballot paper.

Holy fook they are giving him a standing ovation. :eek:
Nice that they gave him a bunch of flowers to try and lessen the stench of sh** that eminates from him.

Very strange how these corruption charges appeared against his only rival a few days before the election and he had to be suspended.

Sepp Blatter re-elected, what a joke.

Beautiful just beautiful. A deeply undemocratic organisation comprised of 208 John Delaney types. And if any government wants to try and change things by sorting out their own footballing organisations, well guess what-FIFA are one step ahead of them:

FIFA suspends Nigeria
FIFA suspends El Salvador
FIFA suspends Iraq
FIFA threaten Ghana
FIFA threatens to ban Sudan

This organisation are just a shambles. This is the latest nonsense,from the senior vice-president of FIFA.

Grondona hits out at England
Vice-president wants attacks on Fifa family to stop
Last Updated: June 1, 2011 12:07pm

Fifa's senior vice-president Julio Grondona claims he would have voted for England to host the 2018 World Cup if the Falklands Islands had been handed back to Argentina.

England's bid to stage the tournament ended in disaster last December when they became the first country to be voted out of the running.

Russia eventually prevailed in the voting to stage the 2018 finals before Qatar were controversial winners of the 2022 contest.

Argentine Grondona, who is also the head of Fifa's finance committee, outlined his reasons for supporting Qatar for 2022 and snubbing England's claims for the 2018 renewal.

In an interview with a German press agency, Grondona said: "Yes, I voted for Qatar, because a vote for the US would be like a vote for England. And that is not possible.

"With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left."


And, after Football Association chairman David Bernstein failed to delay the Fifa presidential election in order to find another candidate to oppose current incumbent Sepp Blatter, Grondona offered further criticism.

He said: "We always have attacks from England which are mostly lies with the support of journalism which is more busy lying than telling the truth. This upsets and disturbs the Fifa family.

Bernstein stands firm
."To present such a project as David Bernstein presented is like shooting a penalty because it cannot be always from the same place that the insults and problems come from.

"Since 1974, things have changed and it seemed that this country didn't like it. Now, we are in 2011 and they still seem to always have something to say.

"I see it at every Congress. They have specific privileges with four countries having one vice-president. I don't know what our president has said.

"But we have seen the World Cup go around the world, to South America and Africa and it looks like this country does not like it.

"It looks like England is always complaining so please I say will you leave the Fifa family alone, and when you speak, speak with truth."

So a vote was based on politics and not on the suitability of a country to hold the competition,and this clown comes out in public to announce this. What a joke of an organistion.

It's not often I can say this but as an Englishman I'm proud of the FA today. It's probably going to get us marginalised even more than we were before but someone had to say something.

I have to agree with Beefy, they (FA) stuck their neck out and we (the FAI) had an opportunity to back em up and we didnt like countless other associations. Im a little ashamed of our bunch Beefy, its become clear as crystal now that the people in charge of the game are simply corrupt politicans.

I know our support for the FA would only be a token gesture but we had very little to lose with regards our standing in FIFA. Blatter laughed at us after the Henry incident in Paris, we should owe him no favours.

In fairness, Blatter laughed at Delaneys suggestion that Ireland be a 33rd team in the world cup. That deserved to be laughed at. And there wouldn't be a peep out of the FA or any English journalists if they were given the world cup.
Having said that, I'm still delighted they're highlighting all this negative stuff in one of the most corrupt organizations in earth.

The fact that Blatter laughed at Delaney suggesting the 33rd team thing is not something we should use to vilify the man.

It abso-fúcking-lutely deserved to be laughed at.

Anyone who even entertains the notion that it shouldn't is a clown. A clown for all to see.

It's absolutely sour grapes from England and had the FA won the bid they wouldn't be saying anything. It's still right that they're speaking up now though.

RGDATA!

agreed, but more important is the fact that the FAI effectively endorsed Blatter yesterday, which completely aside from Paris is very disappointing and hard to fathom.

of course, the 33rd team was a terrible suggestion, but overall his lack of respect for us was disgraceful, nobody actually thought there was going to be a 33rd team. Anyway, i digress, Basically what i was highlighting was, we owe him no favours, so we should have stood up with the FA and SFA.

Mother of god.. as if things couldn't get any more surreal, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised Blatter is best buddies with Kissinger,expect unruly FA heads to start mysteriously disappearing .

The Carribean and North American Confederation CONCACAF voted in Jeffrey Webb as President yesterday and immediately the confederation have requested that the Executuive Committee of FIFA, sitting in Budapest this week, terminate former CONCACAF General Secretary Chuck Blazer's membership of the Executive Committee of FIFA.

[Photo of bearded man at FIFA conference is of Chuck Blazer (in may change later)]

Webb said: "We must move the clouds and allow the sunshine in," Webb said, according to the Associated Press. "The 2026 World Cup belongs to CONCACAF."


Chuck Blazer maybe saw the writing on the wall last year and spilled the beans on CONCACAF President at the time Jack Warner,whohad an appalling reputation for graft.

A CONCACAF report from auditors in London and Trinidad into the financial dealings of members on behalf of CONCACAF found that Jack Warner took out a morgage in his own name on a Joao Havelange excellence centre. Fundedby IOC,FIFA and CONCACAF.
Chuck Blazer has said that he is owed millions in 10% commission fees from TV and Sponsorship deals CONCACAF and may consider legal action.
When asked why US-based CONCACAF never submitted tax returns since 2007,he said CONCACAF was anon-profit organisation and made no profits in the US.
