So now the exact same people who reelected Blatter a few days ago, are going to decide on a new president? Or does he pick his successor?
Seems legit

I f**king love john Oliver. He actually gets s**t done by calling people out for their insane b******t. Not to say he should get all the credit, but he gets exposure on a lot of corrupt s**t that otherwise people wouldn't know about.

Sepp is chillin', who basically runs the show, and FIFA is claiming that they are the victims lol.
Good for us though. Most governments turn a blind eye to this, but our judicial system looked into it and found out there were executives of major corporations involved and using our banks, and said F this, you can't do that in this country. Keep your corrupt BS abroad.
That's what makes this interesting though. It seems like we just keep climbing up the hierarchy of FIFA. I'm sure one of these guys that pleaded guilty, will become another informant, so this isn't over just yet.
Good call!!
