Sepp Blatter: Russia 2018 World Cup 'agreed before vote'


http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/34657900

This has been my grouse. If you knew you wanted to plough new frontiers, why ask for bidding from other nations? Why rate England's bid first only to vote them out first. It just reeks of corruption. Unfortunately, many of us see as an opportunity to hate on England. We should support what is right. Definitely, Blatter and co did wrong in the saga and some of us are only supporting them because of the long term backing Havelange and Blatter had given to Africa but would we have been supporting this corrupt move had that not been the case? Let Africa develop and stop looking for protection from Europe via food stamps from corrupt people like Blatter.

From the op

Blatter also claimed that Russia had an agreement prior the vote to host the 2018 World Cup and that the United States was due to host the 2022 tournament before French President Nicolas Sarkozy held a meeting with the crown prince of Qatar.

[pajimoh]

It's obvious FIFA is one big mess. It was a miracle that Africa managed to host the WC. The back stabbing is unbelievable.

One minute USA and the next Qatar. Yet it was the European that screwed up the Yanks.

I agree with Anointed, it would have been prudent to make it continental and invite hosting countries from that continent.

Why make confederations waste time and money when you've already decided where it should go?

[Purity]

I am not sure Mr Blatter raised England's hope to host the World Cup, he blatter made it open that he prefered a rotational World Cup to allow the World Cup reach other cultures.

Blatter may be corrupt, but what about Germany 2006 World Cup host rights.. Why did the man from Newzeland fail to vote? Why is CIA not investigating why or how the 2006 bid was concluded?

That's what it was supposed to be. The bigger countries don't like the idea. Same way UEFA doesn't like the idea Blatter has been mooting of balancing out the number of exec committee reps to be proportional to the number of countries in the confederations.

[ohenhen1]

The western press reaction to Platini suspension is fishy. The US and EU so called fight against corruption is not entirely some moral goal to improve the game. Corruption has been in FIFA for over 75 years.

Are deliberately trying to be in denial? FIFA itself said England had the best bid. For the 2022 bid, Qatar's bid was tagged 'high risk'.

FIFA is a democracy but you have fallen for the Blattercracy that dogged and brought down the organization. It's not supposed to be what Blatter wants, no matter how pleasing, rather it should be what the majority canvasses for.

Platinum,

By asking the highlighted question it means you do not understand the locus of this investigation at all.

[Enugu II]

IMHO, this is the ranting of a drowning guy trying to grab at straws. The good thing is that his ranting will expose all. For instance, his claim in the 2018 WC agreement clearly points to corruption that people have miffed about. Now he is confirming it. Why is he railing against the Ethics Committee? Does he feel he is above the committee. This is the very committee that he used to get at others. I do not cry for him. Sorry.

1. So, you are saying Africans should support England and ignore their own interest? England's bid won only ONE VOTE from fellow UEFA member federations, so they cannot really blame their failure on hatred by Blatter and Africa. The stated objective was to take the World Cup to new frontiers, so the technical bid was only one of several components used to determine who hosts the World Cup.

2. It was not Africa that hijacked the 2022 World Cup from the USA to Qatar. It was the Europeans, led by the UEFA's own president Platini, who has openly admitted that he voted for Qatar on instructions from the president of France. What did France get in return from Qatar? That is European corruption and not African corruption.

3. Another problem is that European (or Western Europe) wanted to monopolize it. If we use ONLY the technical bids you talk about, only a handful of rich Western European countries will be eligible to host the World Cub.

4. There was an agreement to rotate the World Cup among continents, starting with the 2006 World Cup in Africa. However, Europe hijacked the 2006 World Cup from Africa through corruption. Then Africa hosted it 2010 and the next one was sent to South America. The next one should have gone to CONCACAF, but the Europeans insisted they could not wait for their turn after South America. Hence, the bidding process was reintroduced... Even then, the Europeans still managed to hijack it from the USA to their oil-rich dictator friends in Qatar. Yet, it is the Europeans who are crying and blaming everything on "African corruption."

The man wants to take Platini down at all cost. For me, Platini has always been corrupt, so it was a real surprise to see he is Europe's man. It shows Europe are not for the cleansing of FIFA but to gain control in entirety. Europe currently has a disproportionate number of people in the Exco and various committees in FIFA but they are not satisfied, they want it all.

Blatter also reveals FIFA as a corrupt and morally bankrupt organisation when he says Russia hosting was a done deal. If this was the case, why lead the other countries on to bid? It can only be because they wanted bribes to enrich themselves. They deserve to all go to jail.

As for the role of Platini in giving the WC to Qatar, it is not news but what is news is how Platini went about it. What we have not been told is the amount of money that changed hands for Qatar to get the hosting rights. Platini got his millions from the Qataris and we know his son is in the employment of the Qataris at PSG, but Blatter only exposes the role of Platini, he does not tell us about the bribes that gave the hosting rights to the Qataris.

Succinctly put.

For them the wrong European country, Russia won the bid. Left to them the FIFA World Cup should be rotated amongst them, North America and South America. It goes back to money. How do you get tax payers to pay for big stadiums and refurbish old ones? Contrive a way to get the World Cup to rotate to your region...

They are even more miffed about the One Federation One Vote that FIFA is currently practicing. How dare small countries have the same vote as their colonialists.

[Vincent.]

The western press reaction to Platini suspension is fishy. The US and EU so called fight against corruption is not entirely some moral goal to improve the game. Corruption has been in FIFA for over 75 years.

Notice how the European media is blaming everything on FIFA even though the president of the European federation is under investigation.

There was an article in The Guardian today that says that the UEFA should have the moral backbone to withdrawal from FIFA - this is the same UEFA with a president who is under investigation and a president who has admitted to hijacking the 2022 World Cup to Qatar on the instructions of the president of France (probably in exchange for contracts from Qatar), the same UEFA whose member Germany is accused of buying votes for the 2006 World Cup

Better to blame everything on corruption by the Caribbeans/Africa/Blatter and pretend that UEFA is clean and we should all pray for someone from UEFA to ride in and rescue the situation...
