won't be a revote now. Blatter is one of the most corrupt individuals in the world.

It's not over just yet. whistle

FIFA suspended senior executives Mohamed bin Hammam and Jack Warner over bribery allegations Sunday, while completely exonerating President Sepp Blatter in the gravest corruption crisis facing football's world governing body.

The ethics panel said there was sufficient evidence to further investigate allegations.

''This is the pattern of the work which we have to do very quickly in the next months - to change what has to be changed...

''We are satisfied that there is a case to be answered,''

I beat the US will get the 2022 bid if the US Supreme Court has any say in the process. See Bush v. Gore.

This whole thing just makes me really angry on hos political a soccer tournament can make things. I guess we train parents well at the youth level, and really turn the lose once they deal with other adults.

I am still trying to understand how fun it would be to play soccer in 120+ degree weather in an outside stadium. Technology is great, but not that good. I also think FIFA should re-consider given Qatar's track record on gender issues. Seriously, if I would bring one of my daughters to the world cup, she could not drive a car and would have to wear a scarf over her face. I also would not get to drink a cold beer. What a joke!

He is only "innocent" of not being able to have proved 100% that there was complete and concrete evidence of wrong doing at that time of the (alleged) corruption before the vote. That might be hard to absolutely prove what he knew and when he knew it.

The info is starting to pour out.

''This was a conspiracy right from the start between the two of them,'' said Blazer, dismissing bin Hammam's suggestions that FIFA President Sepp Blatter orchestrated the scandal as ''absolute foolishness.'' whistle

Members will be addressed by FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke, who announced Sunday that the Puerto Rico federation sent him an email confirming it had received $40,000 but had brought a check to Switzerland to return the money.

The British government has called on Fifa to postpone its presidential election after Sepp Blatter was called to appear before the world governing body's own ethics committee alongside two other senior members of its executive committee.
