FIFA: Dirty Laundry All Out

As many would say, the long awaited time has finally come. FIFA right now can be characterized as the headquarters of bribery and corruption. Last week, 14 top FIFA executive were charged with bribery and corruption and match fixing. Among those men arrested was Chuck Blazer, an American who was general secretary of the confederation of soccer-playing nations in North and Central America and the Caribbean — CONCACAF, which includes the U.S. — and a powerful member of FIFA's ruling executive committee and  Jack Warner, then president of the U.S. region's confederation. Chuck Blazer is accused of taking bribe from the South African government in exchange for his vote towards South Africa hosting of the 2010 world.

The irony about all this is that the south Africa government agrees that it payed 10 million dollars to FIFA in 2004 but it was the African Diaspora and they is a latter by the south African minster to back of that but Chuck Blazer says he received a bribe from the south African Government during that period. And it becomes more interesting when Jack Warner who was in-charged of the African Diaspora at the time says he did not receive any bribe from the South African government. This just makes us to wonder who is lying in this whole scandal and has kept SAFA 2010 committee members on their toes.


Jack warner in a press conference yesterday said 'i have stayed quiet for so long and I won’t do that anymore’. Jack Warner he has being in the FIFA executive for more than 30 years and he has promised to exposed everything in the next coming week and in 2011 he even asked Sepp Blatter to step down and not to run as president. I just never knew football could have so much drama even in boardrooms and offices.
