To add furthur insult, he same weak-minded voters on that committee made another 'back-hander' by selling their votes for the 2022 games to non other than Qater. (Where is Qater you may ask?) Its an oil rich family run piece of sand in the Persian gulf . |

The two women in the Russian party just couldnt hide their 'smiles' behind their comrades well before it was announced. I wonder if Mr Chelski will continue pumping money into the London club now that he has 'bought' Fifa? |
