They should be fired. This is much bigger than the World Cup :p

Messi's shot was so innocuous looking I wondered hoe EVS missed it. Then I saw the replay from behind the net. Holy $h!t did that break.

Barca's third goal was ridiculous, love 'em or hate 'em, they are an incredible team.

Re: Norwich City back in the Premier League!

As much fault as people (quite rightly) found in Barcelona's semifinal against Madrid, there was none today (save for Valencia's persistent fouling that he almost got away with for the whole match), just some entertaining soccer. Whether or not Cherrypickarito was offside in the buildup to Rooney's goal, it was a heck of a shot. BARCA! :D

And Busquets even managed not to slur at anyone.

So, this is the part where the FIFA investigations suddenly disappear and back page news in 8 months mention that nothing came of them, right?

Press conference scheduled for 5pm (UK time) today to announce the findings of the investigations into Blatter, Warner, and bin Hamman. We'll see.

Re: Norwich City back in the Premier League!

You almost have to have a twisted admiration for Sepp. The guy knows how to play the politics.

Warner has said there would be a "tsunami" if he was investigated though, hopefully he names some names and slings some mud.

Edit: A bit of the tsunami? Warner released this message tonight, which was reportedly sen to him from Valke:

"For MBH [Mohamed Bin Hammam], I never understood why he was running. If really he thought he had a chance or just being an extreme way to express how much he does not like anymore JSB [Sepp Blatter]. Or he thought you can buy FIFA as they bought the WC [World Cup]. I have a bet since day one, he will withdraw but on June 1st after his 10 min speech. By doing so he can say he push Blatter to make new commitments bla bla bla and get out under applause. Before means he is a looser. So...He will get some votes. Less than 60 today after CAF support. It will be the "coup de grace" if you would officially send a message as the CONCACAF President by saying CONCACAF supports unanimously. So I am not giving you an advice but just my feeling about what I think is the situation."

Warner hits back at Fifa

Jack Warner has responded to his Fifa suspension with allegations about the organisation's president Sepp Blatter - and that Fifa secretary general Jerome Valcke suggested the 2022 World Cup was 'bought'.

Warner claimed Blatter made gifts of computers to officials plus an unauthorised 1million US dollar gift to his confederation CONCACAF.

Caribbean football chief Warner, banned by Fifa's ethics committee on Sunday along with Asian confederation president Mohamed Bin Hammam pending the outcome of a full inquiry into allegations they paid officials 40,000 dollars each in bribes, denied making any payments.

Warner said in a statement: "I denied the allegations that I made statements at the CFU [Caribbean Football Union] meeting about gifts being given by Mr Bin Hammam.

"I also indicated that at the Miami CONCACAF Congress on May 3 Mr Blatter made a gift of one million USD to CONCACAF to spend as it deems fit.

"This annoyed [UEFA] President Michel Platini who was present and he approached Secretary General Jerome Valcke complaining that Mr Blatter had no permission from the Finance Committee to make this gift to which Jerome replied that he will find the money for Mr Blatter.

"I also indicated at the CFU meeting held in Trinidad on May 10 which was requested by Mr Bin Hammam, FIFA through Mr Blatter organised gifts of laptops and projectors to all members of the Caribbean and no objections have been made today of this to date."

Warner said 13 federations had written to the ethics committee backing him up.

Warner's apparent revelation of an email from Valcke about Bin Hammam running against Blatter for Fifa president is potentially even more explosive.

Valcke, according to Warner's statement, wrote to him suggesting that Qatari Bin Hammam had "bought" the 2022 World Cup for his country.

A Welsh team in the Premier League. How about that?

Vancouver just sacked their manager Teitur Thordarson. Halfway into their first MLS season. Seems a bit harsh.
