Now do you love America ROTW? Take that American flag you were about to burn and instead give it a big hug.

Blatter gone, term limits, independent ethical checks of members. This all sounds too good to be true.

I'm assuming that he won the election so that he could get another (hopefully not implicated) crony in to run against Prince Ali.

Guardian:

QuoteDomenico Scala (head of audit and compliance committee): "I am dedicated to putting into place the conditions for the election of a new president. There will be reforms to how the elections are conducted. Under the rules governing Fifa, the election must be voted on by members at the Fifa congress. The president will ask the executive committee to form an extraordinary congress to elect a new president. While the timing will ultimately be up to the executive committee the timing of election likely to be between December and March."

I bet John Oliver is wishing now that he waited a week before promising to patronize all the FIFA sponsors if Blatter is gone.

I wish there were more Soviet era movies with English subtitles.  I hear they made some halfway decent war flicks.

Have you seen Come and See?

Nope, but I think I've heard of it.  Will seek it out, thanks.

At this point I will presume no one clicked the IMDB link to the exact same movie I posted, before anyone else. <_<

:P

Not DerSpieß and Malthus that's for sure.  :D

So at this point Blatter still has a few months to destroy as much evidence do as many reforms as possible.

I think I will tune in on Sunday to see if he actually eats everything on the McDonald's value menu.
