soccer. FIFAs asian branch- each country participating has an animal mascot, but the CGI promo is beyond my comprehension...

As a Canadian, I'm not going to gloat, eh? Rather, I admire the coach for speaking the truth and he need not be embarrassed by this cold, hard fact: ALL NHL teams bribe European players to play in the league. It's just "money talks" that American & Canadian teams dominate at the very top tiers of international matches.

Just like the reverse is true for FIFA.

Oh, fuckin' walk it off you pussy, or transfer to FIFA.

Kid has a promising career in FIFA.

Well, sure, but it was at least slightly amusing that a fund run by David Cameron’s father avoided paying tax in Britain http://gu.com/p/4tvn6/stw (as far as I can tell just about legal, but very shady) and watching FIFA squirm (again) could provide some amusement too.

Maybe my outlook is coloured by living in a country where although we don't have a huge problem with corruption (at least compared to Brazil, or the US) we can very much appreciate the Brazilian saying about corruption inquiries ending in pizza...

I didn't watch any of his other videos, but based on titles and what bit I actually watched here, if he is a Poe, he's doing a really good job at it. I think he is just a typical conspiracy theorist type... sadly...

EDIT to add: Even if he is a Poe, there are people who honestly believe the type of stuff he's putting out there. Heck somebody I personally know believes that the raise in the popularity of Soccer in the US is because those in power want to make American's like European things so they can bring socialism and communism here and reject Christ. That's apparently why the media is pushing soccer more and more, and I'm sure believes that Obama's (who this person believes to be a Muslim and apparently only eats pork, drinks, and confesses he believes that Jesus is the Christ, just to fool us "brainwashed" people) administration is persecuting FIFA just so we can get a more US friendly FIFA in that will push it on the US even more, though to be fair, I've never heard that part of the claim, just that "they" are pushing soccer so "they" can push European socialism and anti-christ ideals on us.

FIFA is holding a special election on 26 February 2016 to replace him... it was near the soonest they could re-elect somebody as there has to be a formal nomination process and then they have to re-gather everyone for the vote. He serves as President until the election, he could and perhaps should have stepped down and had a replacement right away, but being him, of course he didn't... He's said he won't run again... if he does... the fallout if he won, let alone actually ran...

Ding dong the witch is gone!!

When he stepped down he stated that it had absolutely nothing to do with ongoing prosecutions and investigations about corruption at FIFA. And he did so with a straight face, somehow.
