Always in the background lurks a scandal. Scandal and corruption – the two most popular words associated with FIFA. There is no organization in the world that zrzeszałaby so many nations. There is also the number of sports entwined hearts, which of course puts Blatter and his gang at the top of the financial pyramid – developed in such a way that it acts like a leech: she gives a little, but other uses will.
Before every election, we have the same thing. Someone will release a book and shout “thieves!”. Someone will gather hard data and recommend them to the media. Unfortunately – one of the most important stoop when the evidence does not intend to. The caravan makes further. Every four years, other countries mami product called the World Cup, the financial burden deftly flips to the other side, then back out on his own. We’ve been in South Africa and Brazil. No one so charmingly did not feed on the attractiveness of football like a good uncle Blatter.
Since yesterday the Internet you can find hundreds his cartoons. Most of the modeled on The Godfather with the title of FIFA Nostra. You have to call him a dictator – nothing else will determine a man who appeared to FIFA in 1975 as CEO and president in the chair just stuknęło him for 17 years.
He started as right-hand man Jose Havalange’a. Brazilian seduced knowledge of five languages and character showman. He loved cameras, and the cameras have grown to love him. When we say today Blatter, the head drawer opens with a brisk 80-year-old grandfather, who each pat on the shoulder, selling famous “Hello, my friend,” and at the end of blink an eye.
In fact, since the beginning of scandals fended him. Already after the first election the media drew attention to the gold roleksy leaders of African countries. British journalists came to the head of the Somali Football Federation Farry’ego Ado, and this without resistance stammered out that Blatter for the support he was offered 100,000 euros.
Swiss strength lies in the fact that he can win over the delegates of small states. FIFA every vote counts equally – as Germany powers are equal to the strength of the Caribbean wysepkom. Blatter perfectly played this game. In a handful of holding Africa and North America. Not so long ago the president of the Dominican Federation Nelson Mandela called him a football, and the boss of all bosses for good measure stroked him again, saying that deserves the CONCACAF zone for another place at the World Cup.
The concrete seems not to crush. There were elections now, when told that loses, he found evidence of skullduggery by the sale of TV rights for the World Cup in 2002 and 2006. Four years ago, or were driven trading case votes on the organization of the championships in Russia and Qatar. And then again and again on elections. Even if the Western world is screaming louder and louder, then the islands of the Pacific sympathetic Swiss is still something along the lines of a hero.
Blatter likes to be photographed in Third World countries and opens another field. He likes to talk about promoting football as much as he loves to brag about great financial results of the organization. You can not hide: in the days of football Havalange’a entered a different scale speed, now that scale goes up even more. With the empire in Zurich – the building erected by $ 175 million every now and then fall pathetic slogans about the “football for all”, “football without divisions,” etc. The same-spiraling up the machine. The stream of money that never dries.
Some say it makes no sense that dictate last will, and others must step aside. Not so long to stand in elections had Luis Figo – the online probes won every time. The Portuguese, however, quickly realized that absolute power will remain absolute power and only an earthquake could clean up this whole circus.
Perhaps Wednesday arrested nine activists corrupt FIFA will be some spark of hope. World again reminds today corroded by bribery organization, again gives voice to the experts who tops the Zurich a few times already on machlojkach caught.
here are Eloquent words of Michel Platini, president of UEFA. He says a short text: Sepp, we will be friends, but go away. Go away for the good of football. The European federation activists did not send any upcoming FIFA Champions League final. It gives the signal, and even can be said that hitting the table. Mister Sepp laughs, of course. When a reporter asks: “Do not you feel embarrassed?”, In his style throws a short “how are you?”.
Perhaps his opponent, Jordanian Prince Ali bin Al-Hussain in no way is better. Nobody really knows what is hidden fortune in a Swiss vault and what will happen when someone selects to him. Anyway – the world is waiting to crack. The course bookmakers to win Blatter growing (1.40), and this means that the chances decrease. The results will be announced after 17.00 on Friday. Probably like every four years – the media a little pokrzyczą, an activist empty paint, and then we all sit down in front of TV and watch the championship in Qatar and Russia …
