The FIFA corruption thread

Without Europe FIFA will fail imo. Sponsors will pull out because they've lost a key base.

However, what would it mean for non European footballers plying their trade in Europe is a bigger question. Will the players have to chose club or country?

I thought most African players already chose club over country....

Asia and Africa are big voting blocks and they support Blatter. The America's will be key to oust Blatter.

Sepp has gone out of his way to make sure he doesn't need Europe to stay FIFA Don. Trinidad & Tobego with 1M folk has a vote with equal weight to Germany who have 80M... I don't think he gives a damn about UEFA except for revenue. Could he survive without that? Who knows. Seemingly he can survive a nuclear holocaust.
You are correct 'tho, competing federations is a problem. If that happened, my hope would be that the federation offering the best entertainment for fans will win. What that would look like 'tho..??

What I want to know is why exactly so many football bodies are such die-hard Blatter supporters? Is it purely a comfortable system of patronage?

Pretty much, besides anybody who has gone against him in the past has ended up on the worse side of things. Its easier and more beneficial to go with him than against him.
 
Can anyone explain why this is funny? My language skills are letting me down :p

Edit: I get the coffin part... just wondering what the words say.
