with King Blatter re-crowning himself, after offing his opponents
with "scandals".
I gotta say that Britain is right.
I'm not a footie fan, but I did say
that FIFA chose 2 new World Cup sites, last year,
to stock up on bribes and prepare for
abandoning ship before the corruption charges get to court.
and, as Prince William says,
the British "luuuuuv football"
so, I'm wondering whether
Switzerland qualifies as a Third World country
or a brown-person country,
so that Britain can feel righteous
in wiping out the
the FIFA palace,
and a bit of collateral damage
with all the other
World Governing Bodies of This-and-That,
by bombing Geneva.
I'm getting the sense that the Europeans
are supporting Blatter because they don't want
to be talked down to by another British lord.
I can't say I blame them. This country is lousy with them.

Britain may lose privileges after Fifa election attack
By Andrew Warshaw
Sunday, 5 June 2011
Britain's long-standing special status within the Fifa hierarchy could be scrapped and replaced by a candidate from Europe, The Independent on Sunday has learned.
So angry are European federations that the FA chairman, David Bernstein, went against their overwhelming advice not to try and postpone last week's Fifa election that they are considering pushing for Uefa to take over the automatic Fifa vice-presidency that has been a British privilege for 63 years.
Although there has long been considerable resentment in Fifa about what is seen as an unnecessary anachronism, Europe has always been behind the so-called automatic British seat, taken over by Northern Irishman Jim Boyce at last week's Fifa Congress.

But Europe's support is now eroding because of Bernstein, with several sources telling The IoS that Britain no longer deserves to have the position all to itself, a view apparently shared by Uefa's president Michel Platini, who is likely to replace Sepp Blatter as head of Fifa in four years' time.
