    A telling omission from this is that she never denies he's bribed people. He's the man doing the bribing not taking the bribes.

    The responsibility lies on the multinationals with the contracts that support this corrupt enterprise nothing will touch this corrupt cartel of thieves .
    The only way for the people to rise is to boycott NIKE,ADDIDAS,COCA COLA,FOX SPORTS MC DONNALS. this multinationals are also corrupt but do you think the Justice department of the US will go after them? , there is a law in the US about bribes , follow the bank payments they should get to them but I doubt that will happen.

    As I recall, one of the complaints was that African and Asian associations keep getting treated 'exceptionally'.

    “.. I can tell you in about [two or three] weeks no one will talk about it anymore.” (Corinne Blatter).

    I think she will be totally wrong.
    If Mr Blatter is not physically dead before the trials, he will, through the FBI and the European legal agencies, suffer the pain of long trials and long punishments. This will be akin to the War Trials of the Nazis or of the Balkans wars.

    The incarceration will like that of the Capone's Alcatraz, with a range of crimes that will become truly unbelievable when all are revealed by Blatter, her daughter and her acolytes.

    So Corinne Blatter thinks her daddy is an innocent victim ?.......sounds a lot like Marina Mantega's defense of her father, Guido Mantega (Dilma's ex-Finance Minister), when she said last week, “those who accuse my father of being incompetent, don't know anything about economics”.... well, well, well, seems that their daddies still tell them fairy tales.....and they believe them.

    @6 Idlehands,
    great video........when the female supporter says “football is a releeegion”, she says it all....that's why FIFA has everyone by the short and curlies...
    Anyway, good to hear - today - that Sepp blatter has resigned ; hopefully the beginning of the end for him....and his naive (?) daughter.....

    I note that Mr Blatter is back at work and behind his desk.

    Is it impossible to get rid of this vile jelly?
