Putin acts like we never have "just cause" but how often does he take out a political opponent as a means to stay in power?

"The USA definitely (has) nothing to do with this," the Russian President said of FIFA, which is based in Switzerland. "This is yet another obvious attempt to spread their jurisdiction to other (countries)."
He has no clue I'm sure how the FBI has worked with international authorities on this issue and when its found to be true what will he say then? I'm sorry again for jumping to conclusions I'll just go back to trying to steal Ukraine back because obviously there is nothing wrong with that.

He knows much better. In fact everyone with an ounce of legal knowledge knows that jurisdiction depends on national law. Whether or not Switzerland hands them over depends on treaties.

We know some were arrested because whatever happened happened on US soil. Furthermore, the Swiss could have very well asked for our help which would shoot Putin's claims to the ground.

Just like always, the corrupt Abbas gang withdrew the request to ban Israel from being a member at FIFA...

What's with those Palestine protesters? What's their biz with FIFA?
They are asking for banning Israel from FIFA activities because Israel forbids the national Palestinian team from participating in international competitions...

Ukraine never belonged to Russia and Putin's politics are as far away from USSR as it gets if that's what you implied. Putin is using the USSR symbolism while driving into the diametrically opposed direction politically.

As for the "he has no clue" part. Man you're so naive. He knows that the investigation was legit, he knows FIFA is corrupt, he knows he is corrupt himself. Everything Putin ever says in public serves the purpose of catering to the domestic propaganda and attracting the tinfoil hats of the Western world.
Here is the important thing in bold: Putin actually believes nothing of what he says on the media.
In his mind he thinks Ukraine was always theirs. That's his ego perhaps.

And of course, if it doesn't suit his agenda on his home turf everyone is ultimately the enemy. Putin is putin and always will be.

I'd like the referee from Italy vs S. Korea match in 2002 to be investigated. I'm sure he has too many things to say.
Funny you say that because apparently Byron Moreno has testified and confirmed that the game was fixed today :lol:. I have news about it on the main page of Polish site. I have also found some Spanish articles about it (I guess) from today:

If that is in fact true and confirmed that will make me immensely happy. That game and in particular the gloating of Korean fans and Guus Hiddink filled my heart with immense hate. I was 15 at the time and unable to understand why such a thing would happen and no one would do anything about it.

I'm glad there are still people who see this.
