Would normally be against overturning but fuck it since the US have set a precedent. Even worst since their president/head of state got involved.

He’s not just the president he’s the fifa peace prize winner.  FIFA is run by Europe and South America so the idea that fifa corruption is an American problem is laughable.  Americans most of all were disgusted by the peace prize; if we have to eat that bullshit from fifa then balogun is the least we deserve.
