Could we not bypass Fifa entirely? Just pick one country to place on the brink of bankruptcy, give Budwieser and Coca Cola a few hundred million each, and give a trophy to either Germany, Argentina, Spain or Brazil every four years. The football is entirely optional.

Sepp Blatter will be re-elected because that is the only way to prevent a full scale investigation into the business dealings of FIFA. I always feel that evantually Blatter will be like one of those old Mafia bosses who turns up to court in a wheelchair and breathing apparatus pleading he is too ill to do some porridge.
£1 billion profit! I'd like to see how much tax they pay on that, but I think we all know the answer to this.

Indeed, spot on, and he gets continued support because a lot of these tin pot associations are in it up to their necks.

FIFA paid 'taxes and duties' of $34 million in Switzerland last year, it paid nothing to the Brazilian government.
At 31 December 2014 FIFA had cash and financial assets of $2,340,694,000

Well, they don't make a profit once the billion has gone into Sepps' bank account

That is $1 billion in American dollars correct? Not ₤1 billion in GBP? There is a huge difference when the numbers get that high.
I thought FIFA was supposed to be 'not for profit' with surpluses going back into the game?
Any responsible 'not for profit' organisation should have a fairly healthy reserve - just in case - but that is ridiculous.

Meanwhile Blatters busy polishing his gold bars and changing the time on his Rolex. The morals of a pimp!
