Russia should host the football event. Pro-Russian separatist rebels have been accused of shooting down the Malaysia Airlines jet. Russia has suggested it could have been the Ukraine military. World football governing body Fifa has rejected calls to change the 2018 host. Responding after some German politicians also called for Russia to be boycotted, Fifa said the 2018 tournament could be a "force for good".

Hmmmm, I'm sure this investigation into Blatter and others in FIFA has nothing to do with Russia's Hosting of the World Cup.

The fact that various talking heads and politicians have been talking about finding a way to deprive the 2018 World Cup from Russia since at least last year (see DATE of article above) is pure coincidence.

p>We all know how US Administrations in the past decade have been very diligent about investigating Fraud and Corruption.

What was done to FIFA Officials is probably totally legal for Donors to do to the US Congress.

I don't know why America is so bent out of shape, I thought our new national past time is visiting other countries for International sporting events then ridiculing them and bullying them, because they don't have granite counter tops and Brazilian Rosewood cabinets in every Hotel room.
We'll piss in a plastic Port-o-Potty at an American State fair, that hasn't been emptied in days with thick brown slush 2 inches thick running out of the door, baking in 120 degrees full sun, and never post a word about in Facebook and Twitter. But god forbid some country builds an indoor public restroom facility and not include stall dividers.

We used to be Great!

The FIFA scandal perfectly symbolizes the corruption that happened in the soviet days and embodies that principle that "some animals are more equal than others."

And Congressmen represent the citizens, right, my capitalist comrade?
