Coca-cola doesn't seem to be losing any sleep over it at the moment according to quotes in the paper yesterday. Mind you, that could change.
There seems to be some sort of call from members of the English FA this morning for them, the US, Australia and others to start making demands before this ridiculous election goes ahead. Better late than never.
Anyway, see
this BBC story for details of very unpleasant people turning on each other to save their own disgusting skins.
I cannot wait to see Warner go down, even more than Blatter. That this man has any role what so ever in an organization like FIFA is a testament to all that's wrong in football. Having said that, who wants to bet that Warner will end up with little more than a slap on the wrist - if that - where as Bin Hammam will be crucified as scapegoat who had the cheek to challenge Blatter?
This story about the FA exonerating four members of FIFA's executive committee of corruption is also interesting - but somewhat odd. I'm impressed by the speed the footballing authorities hold their inquests at....these allegations were only made a couple of weeks ago...
