FIFA to release Gracia corruption report to public

Fifa executives have unanimously agreed to publish a "legally appropriate version" of a report into allegations of World Cup bidding corruption.

However, world football's governing body insisted Russia and Qatar will stay as hosts of the 2018 and 2022 tournaments respectively.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter said he asked the executive committee to vote in favour of publishing the report.

"We have always been determined the truth should be known," he said.

"That is, after all, why we set up an independent ethics committee with an investigatory chamber that has all necessary means to undertake investigations on its own initiative."

So far only a disputed summary of Michael Garcia's 430-page report into the bidding process for the forthcoming World Cups has been published.

Releasing the full report - which is likely be heavily redacted to preserve witness confidentiality - is a change in Fifa policy.

However, it will only be released once ongoing investigations into five individuals are completed.

The governing body had originally resisted pressure from both report author Garcia and others to publish the full report.

The American lawyer resigned on Wednesday after his appeal against the published summary of his report by fellow Fifa ethics committee chairman Hans-Joachim Eckert was dismissed.

Garcia said the findings released, following his two-year investigation into allegations of corruption, were "incomplete and erroneous".

This is bullshit...  Yea, we took bribes but lets just keep World Cup in those countries so no one asks for a refund...

 

UEFA was extremely unhappy with FIFA and took some major shots at them.  FIFA had no other choice but to publish this report because their credibility is pretty much destroyed as an organization.

 

FBI also decided to investigate FIFA...  I think FIFA knew they are fuged so at least they decided to come forward.

 

I honestly think they did not want FBI to dig around because there are much more corruption than just World Cup bids.

This right here. They are trying to mitigate the punishment by "self-imposing" this report release. They don't want the FBI to come digging for fear of what they will find, because I'm certain their corruption goes really deep. I hope the FBI keeps digging.

u know gedion zalden forgot last name is he any good and is it true he wants to play for US over Germany

 

Yea, he's pretty good for young talent.  The reason he prefers to play for US over Germany is because if he cracks German squad, he will probably be on the bench and will likely start if he chooses to play for US.

thats what I thought is he a striker

Nope, he's a creative attacking midfielder.  He's playing right behind striker.  Arsenal coach actually let him play with starters in few games this season which is extremely unusual.  I don't recall seeing any other 17 year old getting 1st team reps.  Arsenal coach sees something in him. He will be 18 years old next year so it is likely that Arsenal will give him more playing time.  He's a very good passer and tricky with quick feet but he still makes mental errors which is normal for 17 years old.
