Fifa officials 'offer to sell 2018 World Cup bid votes'

[jonny]

Two Fifa officials have offered to sell their votes in the contest to host the 2018 World Cup, according to a Sunday Times report.

The newspaper has video footage in which Nigerian Amos Adamu, a Fifa executive committee member, appears to ask for £500,000.

This is completely against Fifa rules.

And Oceania Football Confederation president Reynald Temarii, wanted money for a sports academy for his vote, which will take place on 2 December.

England are competing to host the tournament in eight years time, as well as Russia and joint bids from Spain and Portugal and Holland and Belgium.

       All i'm saying is he can't be different to be a part of the corrupt nest,he will not survive,he can't change FIFA,ah mean look at what these countries doing he can't do that,he trying to do it in a civilized manner and we still not happy.

My question is this: If there is evidence year on year of corruption & bribery in FIFA, which is, I believe, a kind of private company, why doesn't governments demand the Swiss police to investigate, seize assets and imprison the culprits?  FIFA is one of the most powerful global money making machines, yet they are a law unto themselves. An oil company couldn't get away with these things. This whole World Cup bidding is rife with bribery and corruption. But its no different really than tendering for a contract. Why doesn't FIFA appoint an independent tendering board to decide on who has the best bid? I know there is still options for corruption, but at least it would be scrutinised more closely.  

The World Cup, like the Olympics, bring vast social and financial benefits to host nations, so much so that governments fund the bids. Surely a football body shouldn't be able to effect the future prosperity of democratic nations? Maybe the United Nations should collectively ban all FIFA sanctioned activities and form a new global governing body with each government controlling its local football. Would football be damaged if this was the case? At least these people could be voted out by the public, unlike Mr Blatter et al.
