About time something was done, maybe it will start moving closer to home now! I’ve always thought the cup itself signified all that was wrong in football, and in FIFA... a claw grasping at world football.
shocked that there has even been arrests , see if there are any convictions now i doubt there will be , such a nasty corrupt place is fifa and it runs the game we love .

All we need now is a string of arrests in the realm of finance and I may have a little of my faith in humanity restored!
Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
Unfortunately, Blatter seems to not be one of those arrested, but his vice president has been. Several high ranking officials have been apparently informing the FBI and Swiss authorities, so maybe Blatter's day will come later. Massive first step, and a week before the election no less!
If one of those arrested is that Jack Warner I will be fukking apoplectic over this.
He was the subject of a BBC Panorama programme over 7 years ago. I remember watching it and could not believe that he still held a high ranking post.
Either way you look at it Blatter's position must be untenable given that this is going back over the last 3 decades and he has been the head cheese for a long time now.
If these allegations are true,and I have no doubt that they are,then FIFA needs to be dismantled completely and a whole new organisation put in place.Blatter should resign immediately,after all he has led this team of gangsters for about 20 years
