FIFA's Take Is To Blame Britain For Corrupt Bids Process

((HT: Sky Sports))

Shocking no one, really...

The findings of the FIFA-requested inquiry into the 2018 and 2022 bidding processes that eventually awarded the World Cups to Russia and Qatar were revealed as clean. But the villian, as exposed by FIFA in their review press conference was Britain...

Naturally...

But the former US attorney who came up with the review is now critical of the edited version that FIFA has released themselves claiming that the edited version is wrong.

Michael Garcia has a 400-plus page report that was edited down to, about, 10-percent of that for the public review.

FIFA's top judge, Hans-Joachim Eckert, came up with his own version

FIFA report

Wait...what...???

Judging rigged...???

Tin and Sid discuss...

Understand something...

Davis and White's scoring difference actually increased from short program to long program...
If Virtue and Moir were supposed to repeat, then why didn't the scores end up closer from one program to the other...???

Do we need to discuss the whole Sale-Pelletier situation where the world REALLY agree about Canadians getting jobbed...???

Just asking...
