#FIFA Re: Thursday's +FIFA's "report" into World Cup bidding corruption.
I predicted last week that FIFA's report would exonerate itself.

After all, the report was commissioned by FIFA +FIFATV paid for by FIFA. Despite this, the attorney, Michael Garcia, who was mandated to investigate the corruption, appears to have at least attempted to shed some light on the problem, despite the limitations of his mandate.
He is to be commended for criticising the edited summary of his report by FIFA's +Hans Eckert which was released by FIFA as not being representative of his report.

Garcia at least, emerges from all this with some credibility . FIFA on the other hand, appear ever more as disorganised crime posing as a sporting body.
Their attack on England's #FA +English football +, who were one of the few associations who endeavoured to be both brave and brutally honest, in an attempt to expose problems with "Gifts" in the bidding process, is utterly shameful and cowardly!
The English FA's efforts to expose the extent to which the "sanctioned" practice of gifts to FIFA's officials serves to pave the way for actual corruption was totally ignored by FIFA.
FIFA must assume that such attacks will deflect attention from the plethora of questions which remain unanswered by it in regard to the +Qatar2022 bid.
