However, it has emerged that FIFA will not examine "new evidence" concerning the most recent allegations, preferring instead, to only consider the Michael Garcia report, due in about 6 weeks time. The organisation and management of international football reeks with the stench of decay and corrupt practices. The football management and media in countries around the world, cry out for reform and cleaning up the rotten mess which is FIFA, but there seems to be nothing that anyone can do to bring about the necessary change. Self regul...

On May 16th last, I wrote: "Sepp Blatter Says Awarding Qatar 2022 World Cup Was A 'Mistake' Clearly, the other "bidding nations", were unable to provide  sufficiently high levels of "donations",  to the "FIFA benevolent fund for the rehabilitation of destitute players and managing body officials". The whole bidding award circus was a stinking charade in December 2010 and the stench remains, even today." Only now it seems are "Newspapers" waking up to the fact that the awarding of the venues for the 2022 World Cup, was a complete charade and that the "result" was always more to do w...

In fact one of the "friends", Saudi Arabia, is threatening to withdraw from the group largely in respon se to the failure of the American dominated clique to take any form of military action against the Syrian government and to be rather reticent in their support of the rebel groups in terms of hardware and weapons. This reticence is understandable in so far as the "Friends of Syria" support only part of the opposition to President Assad and are still faced with the problem which they have faced since the start of the civil war. Tha...

  http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/06/2013622144844127498.html  Friends of Syria pledge to arm rebels   Friends of Syria meeting in Qatar The Friends of Syria group (which includes the United States, United Kingdom, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar etc etc) agree to give "urgent military support" to Syrian rebels (who, under different circumstances, they would usually describe as terrorists) and at the same time they demand an immediate withdrawal of from Syria of "Hezbollah militias and fighters from Iran and Iraq". This is crass hypocrisy of the first order from western powers seeking long term advantage and favours from despotic Middle Eastern regimes who are not even wanted in their own countries where they rely on western weapons to retain their position. This is a bloody and awful civil war in Syria. The "Friends of Syria group" are making a bad situation even worse, the United States, Britain and France are pouri...
