You can keep the witnesses anonymous but not their evidence.

This is nothing more than a cover up, it must be one hell of a damning report and proves what people have always suspected, football is nothing more than a rich gravy train, it's a golden goose that keeps laying for for it's keepers!

Simple as that?

USA should extradite Blatter but in the interests of Justice the Judge should be anybody but Barbier. Blatter and USA Judge Barbier could easily be related.

I no longer watch or support any d football team, it's not sport anymore, it's business.

I love how parade these world class coaches for their fans.

Does their success have anything to do with their coaching skills or does it have a lot to do with their £150M+ budgets!

Blatter, Leóz y “todo el rollo” de FIFA son una verguenza al fútbol. Un día sabremos el alcance de su corrupción sistemática durante tantos anhos - su 'confidencialidad' no aguantará para siempre.
Blatter, Leoz and the rest are a utter disgrace to football. One day we will found out the true scale of their systematic corruption during so many years. Their 'confidentiality' won't last for ever.

I can assure you that the FIFA is as honest and forthcoming as the current administrative Argentine government...
