Well Sepp Blatter's hypocrisy knows no bounds. When he first met Obama, first thing he told him, was not, "Nice to meet you Mr. President" it was "You need to get your league (MLS) on the international schedule." It is also FIFA policy to punish countries and federations when national governments interfere with domestic football activities.
We are infuriated as a country (not just our president) for being screwed out of a World Cup bid, and given to a country smaller than the state of Massachusetts, particularly when FIFA pointed out that the 2002 World Cup needed to be held in two countries because Japan and Korea were too small to hold it individually. We also have state of the art stadiums in place across this continent spanning nation in world class cities EVERYONE recognizes and visits regularly, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Chicago. And the comments that the World Cup organizers said about our cities and stadiums is abhorrent. Qatar is building cities to hold the tournament with essentially slave labor. WTH is that all about?
You don't get to insult one of the greatest countries in world history and get away with it. FIFA are a money grubbing SOBs with a false sense of power, and they will pay for corrupting our beautiful game one way or another.
