Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini, two of the most powerful figures in global soccer, were barred from the sport for eight years on Monday morning after being found guilty of ethics violations.

NY Times

8 years? why not for the rest of their MISERABLE-CORRUPT life?

They should be locked up in prison, without possibility of watching football to teach them.

Fuck those two. Corrupt cunts.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I think you meant banned?
Anyway, yaaay.

yessssssssssssssssssss, they deserve that for the world cups in qatar and russia and also 2009 when platini didn't want chelsea to win against barcelona.

lost for words. pure ecstacy. not a large enough fine, and not a long enough ban. i hope this is a slight consolation for the lives the deadly duo have destroyed, especially the innocent migrants lost in the construction of qatar's stadiums and world cup preperations.

Can't say anything clever here. Too much hate towards these absolute MOTHERFCKING SHTBAGC*NTS.

+1 to you KTBFFHSWE

That's the punishment? He cant watch football but just escapes the whole situation rich, on the meantime other people go to jail for minimal things. It would be fair if they would rot in a cell for the rest of their lives.

^Yes.

USA 2022!

Well damn I never thought i would see this day coming !!! Well done USA !

We Americans are good for something every now and again.

Yeah, like it or hate it. Only American can pull this off.

Btw, @JozeMourinho: completely agree, these corrupted asses should be investigated on their properties, their filthy rich, mortgages everywhere. Got them chased down and lock up

Well guys it is actually official. Their ''punishment'' has been reduced from 8 years to 6. The FIFA circus is ready for season 2.

1 year later they reduce it again for good behaviour...

Lifetime ban from the sport and jail time for laws that were broken would be my verdict. Sad that their sentence has already been reduced to 6 years.

Now it is time to refocus on Qatar. Maybe the Cup can be replaced and help prevent 4 to 5 THOUSAND migrant workers from dying to make the stadiums in the country that cheated to get the Cup in the first place.
