    Good news, hope he cleans it up, that Blatter is getting to be the Berlusconi of football!

    good joke, British Kirchnerist... you probably bursted out in laughter after writing your own words.

    Looks rather like Blatter chose him, to secure to proceed as usual... what better than an argie “judge” for this? ROFL

    Not like they could choose someone from the UK, EU or USA, countries which are state sponsors of human rights violations in the Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

    I'm not angry at all, you are all just a bunch of cowards who like to dish mud but can't take it when you get some back. Read all the starting comments in the Argentina news sections.

    You all love to insult us and lie and troll but can't take it the other way. You are a bunch of sissies.

    At last, a truly honest person in charge of the ethics of international football, how good it would be if somebody honest would take charge of the AFA!!!

    FIFA is run by Europeans in Switzerland, and the “home” countries still have a disproportionate amount of clout there. Plus Italy, Spain, and Germany.

    Yet it is a corrupt cesspool. Obviously, it is the Europeans fault.

    Aaaah, an argie human rights lawyer. 21st century “Hand of God”. More argie undermining of proper human values. But Ocampo does have some relevance to soccer matters. Because he's big on sexual misconduct. His own. How good is that? An ICC prosecutor who forced a journalist to have sex. What a CV! A sex maniac, an argie, a “fixer” who sacked his victim. Typical argie turd!

    Fits like a glove in pedophiliac Europe, sounds to me. Now I get it.

    Had a good underage weekend Conqueror?

    You are getting yourself into real trouble here.

    What on earth has happened to the young man who spoke English as if it were his first language plus some?

    I'm in no trouble... Ever read Conqueror's comments? If he doens't get in trouble for what he says I do (nor do many other British posters calling us all kind of criminal acts), then I have no concern either.

    And I don't speak the polished holophrastic English because people here would cry about it, instead of taking the opportunity to edify their own language free of charge, by learning a few new words.
