And on 6/1 all of FIFA will go "Tsk, Tsk" and re-elect Sepp. He should have a bust of Bernie Ecclestone in his office.

You really think they'll bother to say "Tsk, tsk"?

How about "Show me the money"??

One of the highlights in this row is Warner's repeated references to "The American" Chuck Blazer. Because he knows exactly what effect those words have in a room of FIFA bureaucrats.

I was shocked they gave their bribes in U.S. money.

And now the Fire have sacked Carlos de los Cobos. Two MLS firings in one day. On a holiday too.

Blazer is now in trouble... for reporting the corruption.

CONCACAF's acting president has asked Chuck Blazer to explain why he turned over evidence that sparked one of the worst corruption scandals in FIFA's 107-year history.

Lisle Austin also wants CONCACAF, which represents North and Central America and the Caribbean, to cease dealings with John P. Collins, the former federal prosecutor who investigated Blazer's allegations of wrongdoing.

And who didn't see this one coming?
Ladies and Gentlemen, CONCACAF. The Godfather may be in jail but he's still running things.

Blazer said: "I sat next to Mr Bin Hammam for 15 years in FIFA and have been general secretary of the [CONCACAF] confederation with Jack for 21 years so of course it was difficult. But what is more difficult is to ignore the fact that attempts were made to suborn members - it really wasn't a choice.

"I said to Jack, 'What are you doing? In 21 years we have never bought a vote, we have had elections and been in office all that time and never bought a vote'.

"I said, 'Now you have allowed this to happen here it completely changes the entire dynamic of the confederation'. Once you have done that you have let the genie out of the bottle and for any issue that comes up, people will say, 'Okay, how much are you putting on the table?"'

Grant Wahl asks: More corrupt, Ohio State or FIFA?

Remember the quote from "Goodfellas"

No one goes to jail unless they really want to. :D

Re: Norwich City back in the Premier League!

Downing and Ashley Young both not signing extensions at Villa, both will be sought after by the deep pocket teams...Young reportedly going to ManU.

It is nice to know that Villa can help develop midfielders for the other teams.

We'll see if the asking price or other signings by Villa have any impact on their actual departure.

Nice work, FIFA. Alienate the birthplace of soccer. :D

Heh. Now Blazer has been unfired.

Today an unauthorized declaration was made by Lisle Austin attempting to remove Chuck Blazer as General Secretary of CONCACAF.

This attempted action was taken without any authority. Under the CONCACAF Statutes, jurisdiction over the General Secretary rests solely with the CONCACAF Executive Committee which has taken no action. Further a majority of the Executive Committee Members have advised Mr. Austin that he does not have the authority to take such action.

Chuck Blazer continues as CONCACAF General Secretary and with the full authority of his office. The Confederation continues its normal operations including the Gold Cup commencing on June 5th at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas.

Re: Norwich City back in the Premier League!

Edit: And now Blazer has been fired by CONCACAF (according to the acting President at least).

And CONCACAF says no:
Concacaf statement (from New York office): "Chuck Blazer continues as general secretary and with the full authority of his office."

This will be fun.
