Qatar World Cup: over 900 workers died already, could be as high as 4000 by kick off

So the only FA's that will vote against Blatter in the election will be European, meaning Blatter continues as president

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.
