definitely time for Blatter to leave God damn

Long overdue. Corrupted, boring and unfair sport.

They'll get out of this somehow.

I don't think so bro. The US does not [COLOR="Black"]fu[/COLOR]ck around when it comes to this sort of thing. These aren't just some accusations from journalists that can easily be resolved by doing a bureaucratic shuffle. This is the US department of justice bringing in high level white collar criminals from halfway across the globe. They wouldn't do it if they didn't have a slamdunk case. These guys are big fish. These guys are going to prison, and they are going to uncover a ton of shit about FIFA in the process.



[INDENT]Jeffrey Webb (Cayman Islands) - President of CONCACAF, member of FIFA Executive Committee

Eugenio Figueredo (Uruguay) - President of CONMEBOL, member of FIFA Executive Committee

Jack Warner (Trinida and Tobago) - President of CONCACAF from 1990 to 2011, former FIFA vice-president

Eduardo Li (Costa Rica) - President of the Costa Rican Football Federation, CONCACAF representative to FIFA

Julio Rocha (Nicaragua) - President of the Nicaraguan Football Federation, FIFA development officer

Costas Takkas (Cayman Islands) - Former general secretary of the Cayman Islands Football Association

Hopefully, but there's still another 200 or so officials that can take their place. There's a lot more criminals in FIFA that need to be convicted, and right now, yeah it's nice that they've arrested those eight guys, but it's still a matter of 'cut one head off, another two will take its place' until they can really dig deep.

This is just the start. Some of these guys will roll over and start spilling their guts. In the end wouldn't be a surprise if FIFA gets taken down to bare bones by all this. Now you have the Swiss opening up a separate investigation besides the US charges

There's a lot of very scared men this morning

America does not mess around when it comes to this stuff. Governing bodies for sports are to be treated very seriously. It is sad to know how corrupted FIFA is and nobody is doing anything about it except for us.

This is the first step in making the MLS the greatest league in the world.

We don't play by FIFA dates.

I have a feeling FIFA will be an American institution. MLS will be like the NBA and FIFA will be like FIBA.

Once again America has to sweep up another mess made by Euro cowards.

You're welcome, world.

Cayman Islands, Uruguay, Trinida and Tobago, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, United States,

America cleaning up the mess that Euros are too cowardly to even mention. Sepp Blatter, you're next.

The best thing to do is to hold the World Cup in the United States every year. We have the facilities and infrastructure.

FIFA has destroyed cities and economies. All those stadiums built in Brazil are left empty and rotting.

Gonna charge the design of the soccer ball, in honor of America freeing them from the slavery of FIFA.
