LOL, if everyone is bribing the officials, maybe the damn thing is actually awarded on MERIT ?????

That's why it went to Qatar? On merit? A nation that's never had a history of football and where you can't even play football because of the temperatures?

I know you're joking, but still.

This is 'Murrica.  No one gives a shit about soccer.  We weren't paying attention until John told us.

Why don't all the countries offering bribes get together beforehand, see who has the deepest pockets, and eff the committee ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I could see military action against Qatar. Rich fucks working foreign itinerant workers to death might need some cluster munitions over their palaces.

I bet Qatari ruling class pisses away enough money on goat porn to pay for all kinds of safety equipment and cooling stations on jobsite

What if European nations pull out of the World Cup? FIFA have a lot more to lose from Euro nations not being in the WC than vice-versa, a Europe-less world cup might as well just be one match between Argentina and Brazil

Well 45 out of 60 something (rough estimate, only going from what I vaguely remember from the news) votes will go for this "Prince Ali" instead of Blatter so people don't reckon he will get in again. Even Platini told Blatter that he should step down and he's Blatter's biggest bum boy. 

Still, we already know it's corrupt as fuck so it still wouldn't surprise anyone if he did. 

And the likelihood of European nations boycotting is quite minimal. What would be better however is if the sponsors pulled out, and many of them are expressing that they may do just that. I don't know though, it still doesn't feel like shit has hit the tipping point of where these things could happen. 2022 is a long way off and it's quite possible even after all this fiasco future world cups will go ahead as per usual. Even the Russian world cup is highly likely to go ahead even if solid evidence is found there's corruption involved with the bid for it, which by the looks of things there is. 

Worth mentioning that Blatter's opponent was also investigated for corruption in the 90s too.
