J4MES OX4D 9,859 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 So how does the FBI have any jurisdiction over this guy to investigate? I really don't understand how FIFA works at all There was evidence of laundering and corruption on US soil through banks which meant the FBI could undertake an investigation. A guy called Chuck Blazer who's a convicted corrupt former FIFA official is spilling the beans on the corruption as part of a plea bargain he agreed with the FBI and US prosecutors. The Swiss are covering a separate investigation into the bids for the 2018 and 2022 world cups in relation to bribery and interpol are just coming into the mix with their own one too which may be linked with the existing investigations ongoing. The UK have also instructed banks to assess their history with the people who were arrested in the US and Switzerland and if there is a case; the National Crime Agency will become the 4th body who will be investigating their own respective case.

J4MES OX4D 9,859 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 How many English players does City have now? Hart and Richards? They have one more; forgotten ex England goalkeeper Richard Wright I also forgot that Jack Rodwell went to Sunderland and it seems Micah Richards is leaving so that will mean only Joe Hart is left! They'll probably splash out the case on a few big foreign names and then use their 'English' youth players from the academy to fill the void and satisfy UEFA's laxed and bendable rules...

Plumbers Crack 4,042 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Just when you thought it couldn't get any more bizzare....... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33284185 Sepp Blatter: Fifa president says he did not resign Sepp Blatter says he has not resigned as Fifa president. The 79-year-old Swiss was thought to have ended his 17-year reign on 2 June amid claims of corruption in world football's governing body. But, according to Swiss newspaper Blick, Blatter told a party at a Fifa museum: "I did not resign. I put myself and my office in the hands of the Fifa congress." Blatter is thought to be considering standing for re-election as president. Two criminal investigations into Fifa corruption began in the week that Blatter was elected for a fifth term in charge. Four days after being voted president, Blatter - who is reportedly under investigation in the United States - said: "While I have a mandate from the membership of Fifa, I do not feel that I have a mandate from the entire world of football. "Therefore, I have decided to lay down my mandate at an extraordinary elective congress. I will continue to exercise my functions as Fifa president until that election." However Blatter did not use the words 'resign' or 'resignation'. Meanwhile, Blatter may not attend the final of the Women's World Cup in Canada because of the twin investigations into Fifa by American and Swiss authorities. He would normally present the trophy to the winning team, but Fifa will not confirm whether Blatter or secretary general Jerome Valcke will attend. A Fifa spokesperson said: "In terms of the Fifa president and the Fifa secretary general, their future travel plans will be confirmed in due course."

phil bottle 9,656 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 It's a funny old game. Power, corruption and lies are the order of the day. Just like most other things in life where money is involved. The mass distraction itself needs a mass distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,656 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Sports media are so incredibly lazy. The amount of players THFC have been linked with defies belief. The one from Ukraine apparently arriving in London was actually in Madrid. This was last week, yet today even that bastion of free speech (sarcasm alert) the daily mail is saying we're after him. Apparently we're also after half of Monaco's squad. Never mind most of the ones linked have either already been sold to another team or just signed a new contract. Yet I can't resist checking out NewsNow about 100 million times a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaGarratt 10,934 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Looking like Ramos to Man Utd. Trying to make a statement early in the window. Even though he's decent, can't help but feel he's abit of a liability though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosGladiator 808 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Ramos to united will be good for them. But they still need world class around him. Being honest the rest of the players united have in defence aren't good enough for a top 4 team. De Gea was the main reason United even did as well as they did. Gonna be interesting to see if he stays or no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J4MES OX4D 9,859 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Well the Lionesses went out in typical English fashion - it was either going to be penalties or a last-gasp disaster and it was the latter. We played well in what was a cagey game but didn't take our chances in that second half spell we had and Japan; who were utter garbage all game going forward, nicked it in hideous fashion. Whether it be men's or the women's; England just suck when it matters and are simply cursed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
