You done well.

Pictures of Obama doing an Abbottabad Raid-style hunt for Sepp Blatter would immortalise him as a hero around these parts.

I want to believe that the Comeback Kid is the one that kicked off the investigation after a series of angry phone calls from his trashed hotel room.

If we end up arresting Blatter, we can probably invade the middle east another 10 or 15 times just off the goodwill of that action alone.

Without him, maybe once or twice.

He was the head of the US bid and spent a great deal of time campaigning to get the world cup held here. When Qatar was announced he was not pleased.

This one time I wanted to take a friend for dinner (wanted to get into her pants) so I asked my brother to recommend a restaurant. He said to try a place called auberge michele, and as we walked in there were all these photos of celebrities eating there. I thought to myself, hey that's cool, until I spotted his majesty sepp blatter in one of the pictures. My wallet shriveled up into itself and I quietly died inside.

And I didn't even gently caress her in the end :(

Apparently, none of the indicted officials are European, and most are from Latin America:

Someone quick, draw a political cartoon of Clinton shattering a soccer ball shaped mirror or something.

Or the mirror inscribed with "fifa" and the ghost of soccer rising from the ashes.

Five years after what? The mirror smash thing seems to have happened only a year ago.
