    @1. Beat me to it.
    But let's have a new move. A totally independent body that oversees every aspect of FIFA financial and related activities. With the authority to investigate anything. Over which Blatter has no control.

    Poached this from a friend:

    You can save an expensive investigation into corruption among the delegates by using this simple formula:

    Did you vote for Sepp?
    Yes - Corrupt
    No - Less corrupt.

    ;)

    All the African nations and Asians and lets not forget the South Americas all voted for Sepp, I am sure they get the best of kickbacks. I like Anibal Fernandez saying that they ought to pay tax on their ill gotten gains, PMSL, no thought of bringing them to justice just make them pay tax HaHaHa

    5 .

    As I gather CONMEBOL South American football league actually voted for Prince Ali this time. Just look at 2011 Blatter was reelected with 74%, now its 64%, Its just South America that moved against him, the rest of Asia, Africa and Russian Federation and its satelites voted for Blatter
