Blatter resigns as FIFA boss

Cam's contact, Blatter resigning, great day yesterday! Don't think details will be made public, but I'm quite sure he'll be presented with some serious evidence they had against him. Now let's hope the new boss will be someone who puts soccer ahead of personal power. I really hope Figo will get a shot at it, but might be too soon for him.

Great news. Any indications on what this could mean for Qatar?

​It's certainly possible. There was a report released recently that stated the entire 2022 Bid Committe has been advised not to travel to the United States for fear of being arrested.

At this point in time, I think it's a longshot, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of the 2022 vote being reopened.

I think there would be too much financial consequenses for the FIFA if the bid would be reopened. Qatar already spent billions of dollar upgrading their infrastructure and stadiums, can't believe they would do that without any guarantees.

​Well, I'm not sure guarantees hold up when the deal made was illegal in the first place.

If Qatar stripped of World Cup, this will discourage other nations from committing briberies.  If Qatar keeps World Cup, this will encourage others to take the risk.

Also,  Russia launched new offensive on Ukrainians today.  This can cost them World Cup as well if they continue to attack, especially MH17 report should be finalized sometime this year.

Chuck Blazer, FIFA official, just admitted receiving bribes from France and South American World Cups.  

This his is not even the tip of an iceberg...  Get ready for a roller coaster ride, folks.

 

Wait until the bribes announced by Qatar and Russians... It's coming.

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
