One by one, they'll all start to sing like canaries. The US system is remarkably good at that.

Bribes in relation to France 1998 as well. Wow, this really does go back a long way ... and perhaps no wonder they are believed to have voted to keep Blatter in post.

There will have to be huge changes at FIFA as its starting to look like the corruption was systemic and no wonder Blatter resigned before he was pushed.

If anyone has booked flights or hotels in Qatar for 2022 I'd star looking very closely at the refunds policy.

Americans have a near-religious zeal when it comes to prosecuting financial and other so-called white collar crime. If the FBI find evidence that the bid for USA '94 was bent, believe me, they'll go for it big time.

Has Jack Warner developed dementia? Having apparently denied "any knowledge of wrongdoing" he's now implying he'll reveal an "avalanche of secrets". :confused:

Again ... The US justice system has a remarkable track record when it comes to getting people to spill the beans.

Apparently, however, Mr Warner thinks that England using Beckham to front its 2018 bid was just the same as offering a bung. So maybe Warner is losing his marbles after all.
