FIFAgate

I have to make a confession. I'm not much interested in football. However, you'd have to be a fool to think the United States is interested in fighting corruption. Perhaps they'll start arresting the banksters?

I will restrict myself to the comments of Vladimir Putin and Pepe Escobar.

Blatter has not been named in the investigations, and says he'll seek a new term despite the arrests. For More RT is joined by Pepe Escobar, Asia Times roving correspondent and journalist Harry Fear}
