Hopefully Blatter loses the vote on Friday, but how democratic will it be? We're dealing with FIFA here...

He'll win.

Did anybody ever think that placing the cup in Qatar or Russia was NOT the result of a bribe?

I'd say all host decisions from 1998 onward involved some sort of bribery.

The fact that my favorite sport is so corrupt makes me sad. Brazilian football officials are some of the dirtiest men in the World. José Maria Marin (who was arrested today) is actually small fish when compared to Ricardo Teixeira (former President of Brazil's FA) and João Havelange (the man who ruled FIFA before Blatter).

The last transparent country to host the FIFA World Cup was Germany in 2006.

After that, maybe only in 2026

The choice of Germany was probably pretty corrupt as well. I think the last somewhat clean choice was USA 1994, and only because the other candidates were a joke.

The HP who is the President of Brazil's FA has apparently fled Switzerland.
