Can any of you colonial types over there tell us a bit about this bloke? Is he a better bet than the loathsome shortarse that currently holds the position?

He gets my vote just to piss Blatter off & get Platini looking over his shoulder.

Of course he'd be a better bet, he's not a crook.

He has zero chance, his only hope of nomination is that some delegate picks him as a protest vote against Blatter. England got one vote for its world cup bid (not counting their own delegate), the block of votes that is directly controlled by crooks is too large to do anything.

I respect him for trying though.

I think the words of the head man of Qatar must've sent just a little shiver down Blatter's spine a couple of weeks ago.

Some Princeton twat who will have no idea about "working class ballett". Having said that, he can't be any worse than that corrupt little shit Blatter.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

He gets my vote simply for being in his thirties - at least he wont be some kind of techno-luddite when it comes to goal-line technology.

You do realize Wahl comes from a working class family and worked his way through college.

How the hell would I know that he is from working class background? In fact, how the hell would YOU know he is from working class background? Wikipedia tells me that he is from some place called Mission in Kansas which seems to be nice cosy suburb of Kansas City. 90% of population are white and median income seems to be just above median American household income. Does that not spell out MIDDLE CLASS to you? It sure as hell does to me.

He might be "from the wrong side of the tracks" but I would question it just by looking at those facts.

I have heard him speak about his background but I guess he could have been lying for all I know. I will make sure I ask him about it when I see him in a couple of weeks at the American Outlaws (U.S. mens national team supporters group) Rally in a couple of weeks.
