Statute of limitations for some of the crimes are Dec 5 according to CNN. So they expect the hammer to fall hard before then.
Umm, it's rather easy, you take a bribe without him knowing.

He's saying that Blatter took a piece of all his bribes... that's the point he's insinuating.

Well then he has to prove it, ain't it?

France and Spain voted for Blatter Proud

As for Platini, AFAIK there are allegations that he got his son-in-law some job(s?) connected with Qatar. And of course there are also allegations that Franz Beckenbauer is involved in some dubious stuff. But as I mentioned - only allegations as far as I know.

It's well known the 2006 World Cup was secured by Germany via bribes.
WM 2006 Initiative Secretary Martin Sonneborn confessed to it and remains unrepentant, didn't stop him from being elected to the European Parliament smh.

The evidence is publicly known as well:

Unfortunately, even men like Jack are innocent till proven guilty. He has been going to speech coach though, he enunciates his words a lot better nowadays.

Well, "Ultra Rich Sheikh's Cup" or "Russian Warmonger's Cup" doesn't have too much appeal either :coffee:

Another shady George W. Bush election Laughing

by rwo power Sat May 30, 2015 1:23 pm

Wolfgang Niersbach, who was freshly promoted to ExCo member, suddenly said that he "trusts Sepp Blatter" :facepalm:

I'd really love to know what Blatter has in his hands that he can so easily blackmail the DFB and Niersbach. Can't be just some thick envelopes... hmm

Niersbach has always been an utter useless pos.
Bribing him can't be difficult.

There's definitely more reason behind it than what he said, something about not having a mandate from everyone, that he has known for years.

I don't want Platini, he is too close to the same circle that Blatter is part of.
