When it comes to inherently corrupt sporting institutions, FIFA makes the IOC and NCAA look like kindergarteners stealing toys from classmates. The corruption in world soccer must have been what the prohibition days in Chicago were like, except on a much larger global scale. As just one example, take a look at the millions of dollars in corruption spent by CONCACAF and FIFA executives Jack Warner and Chuck Blazer. A $26 million dollar "Center of Excellence" built on land owned by Warner, another $15 million in misappropriated funds to Warner, $21 million embezzeled by Blazer, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. FIFA is so unabashedly fraudulent that the only person to try and lodge a challenge to Blatter's presidency in 2011, Mohamed Bin Hammam, was himself banned from FIFA for offering bribes under sketchy circumstances. What a surprise. Although nothing has been proven yet, it doesn't take Mr. Magoo to question the process that leads a World Cup being awarded to an insanely rich outsider like Qatar.

Today, Syrian hackers decided to have some fun with FIFA and Sepp Blatter's obvious corruption, sending out tweets from both the official @SeppBlatter and @FIFAWorldCup accounts talking about Blatter's resignation.

I can't wait to see FIFA and Blatter's response to this. I'm sure it will be akin to their previous hollow cries to stamp out corruption in soccer, which are about as authentic as OJ's search for the real killers. I'm looking forward to Blatter's book "If I Did It."

Sepp Blatter and FIFA’s Twitter Hack Explained

FIFA President Sepp Blatter‘s Twitter account has caused some wide spread discussion and confusion after various tweets from both himself and the Official FIFA World Cup account stated remarks regarding both Blatter and recent FIFA decisions.

It appears however that the revelations come from a hacking. The group involved later tweeted that @Official_SEA6 ‘had been here’. The SyrianElectronicArmy, as they call themselves, had been suspended earlier by Twitter for hacking other recognizable accounts such as CBS Denver.

Blatter’s account started the process by tweeting;

So what if I took money from Qatari prince? I am the family’s bread earner twitter.com/SeppBlatter/st…
— Joseph S Blatter (@SeppBlatter) April 22, 2013

The hacking continued for up to another 15 minutes, with frequent tweets from both accounts, which likely fooled many at first. Eventually, it became clear that this was a humorous affair and satirical shaming of the people involved. It is a clear attack at the way FIFA and Blatter have been working in recent years — with the lack morality and ethics that fans dearly want.

The FIFA World Cup account tweeted multiple ‘fictional’ revelations, but the humor really comes from the fact that it would be of little surprise if this were actually true.

The account stated that payments had been made between Qatar royalty and Blatter during the 2022 World Cup bid process. The two accounts worked in sync as Blatter’s tweeted that he had recommend a prince from Jordan as his successor, as he was stepping down following a FIFA investigation.

Although there is no truth in any of this, it is quite amusing, given the sourness of the recent World Cup bid processes and widespread disapproval of the way FIFA and Blatter have been working.

SyrianElectronicArmy aimed to bring out the ‘truth’ as they stated during their hacking. So as fictional and fanatical as this was, it has strong connotations to real events that have occurred.

It's sad that the tweets are probably close to the truth.,

If its anything like my facebook wall when someone gets "hacked", the next tweet will be "im gay and lurve it up da bum lol"

Leave it to Blatter to make his password "password".

Actually it was probably 1234.

It's sad that the tweets are probably close to the truth.,

Has to be Uruguay/Argentina 2030.
