FIFA President Sepp Blatter flags possible new vote for 2022 World Cup

FIFA President Sepp Blatter has not ruled out a rerun of voting for the 2022 World Cup host, after claims of corruption rocked last year's vote.
A rerun would give Australia a chance to snare the finals after it was knocked out in the first round of voting in December last year.
The right to host the world's biggest sporting event was controversially award to Qatar.
But Blatter told UK newspaper The Independent that an inquiry, sparked by claims of corruption made in The Sunday Times, could see the FIFA executive cast their votes again.
Blatter told the Press Association there was a groundswell of support "circulating around the world" for the voting process to be rerun.
"But don't ask me now yes or no, let us go step by step. It's like we are in an ordinary court and in an ordinary court we cannot ask: 'If, if, if'," he told the Press Assocation.
FIFA president since 1998, Blatter is being challenged by Qatari
Mohammed Bin Hammam, 61, president of the Asian Football Confederation, at the June 1 poll.
The 75-year-old Swiss says Bin Hammam wants "total change", which could lead to the "dismantling" of FIFA.
"I'm very confident," Blatter said during a recent interview.
"FIFA isn't ready for total change, where the running of operations would go to the six confederations. If we dismantle the pyramid, it will fall down.''
Blatter said he had been boosted by support from UEFA president Michel Platini and the Oceania Federation

imo theres a good chance even if they do a revote it will go to usa... they got the second highest amount of votes.

This is all about the challenge on Blatter. Can't stand both candidates. Get rid of corrupt FIFA.

[Hawkseys Double]

It would seem FIFA are spamming our threads.

how many people voted for australia again?

What makes you think they have any chance in any possible revote.

You have as much chance as England of getting 2018, because both countries did not run the right campaign to get even close to enough votes.

Firstly the way these things work, I believe Qatar 'bought' most of their votes from countries that were heading towards Australia and only for one round e.g. vote for xyz (except Australia) in round one so we could be eliminated. So far more too it that only receiving one vote (also countries that received 3 votes in round 1, went down to 2 in round 2 - if you get my point)

Secondly I hope another vote happens so we can have the World Cup anywhere but Qatar - personally I thought USA should have got it

Watch the Andrew Jennings video on you tube.

FIFA is so corrupt even a re-count is waste of time.

read his book, even more insight.

I see Blatter has called for 2 members to front the committee on friday - guess what it's warner and bin hamman and a bloke I hadn't heard of who has already been sacked by fifa once for corruption.
