BUENOS AIRES leBron 12 pas cher , July 10 (Xinhua) -- Former Argentine footballer and national team coach Diego Maradona said Thursday Germany was not "impossible" to beat in the upcoming final match of the 2014 Brazil World Cup.

BEIJING, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Undoubtedly, football needs crackdown on corruption, but adding geopolitical attempts to it is something not pure and may deeply hurt the Beautiful Game.

In the U.S.-led anti-corruption storm that swept FIFA leBron 10 pas cher , just two days before the world football body's presidential re-election, in which Sepp Blatter, who backs Russia World Cup 2018 and cares more about football in the developing countries and regions, had a big advantage over Jordan's Prince Ali bin al-Hussein ahead of the voting, seven out of 14 senior officials and sports marketing executives charged by U.S. prosecutors of corruption and bribery were arrested from their hotel in Zurich by the Swiss police.

At first glance, it seems to be a timely and right action against the darkness in the highest powers of world football leBron 12 elite pas cher , and the United States acts like a hero of football. But instead of making hasty judgements, one can find it's not that simple. It is more like a well-designed plan to achieve some geopolitical objectives.

Football is the world's most popular sport and today's professional football has developed to such a high level that billions of dollars is running in the pool. For the European Champions League, the European Championship and the World Cup, it's very lucrative to get your business involved.

With bulging greed, the lack of financial transparency and balancing of power and supervision in FIFA, it's no wonder that some kinds of corruption exist within the organization leBron 11 elite pas cher , professional leagues, and international events. So it's a must to prevent football from corrupting with some effective methods, and strong measures should also be taken to battle other dark things like match-fixing, gambling, violence and racism on and off the pitch.

However, we must not neglect the political background www.pangy.org , the "coincidence", the timing, and the basic logic when things go to the U.S.-led action on FIFA. After all, the U.S.-Russian relations have fallen to a post-Cold War low following their conflicts in Crimea and in eastern Ukraine, and considering U.S. also have possible interests if 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosting nations change due to the scandal of FIFA, one can not rule out that U.S. may capitalize the anti-corruption on FIFA as a plan to "kill two birds with one stone": berating Russia ideologically on the World Cup Russia 2018 in the next three years nike leBron james pas cher , and making considerable profits from a possible change of World Cup hosting nation, and at least, to revenge their defeat by Qatar in the 2022 World Cup bidding.

Let's analyze the matter in the following four aspects:

First, the Swiss police's search on FIFA headquarter (requested by U.S.) focused mainly on the possible cheating related to the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bids that went to Russia and Qatar respectively. As U.S. have enough possible incentives in plotting the action, if those suspects are extradited to America and charged, and the cases were ruled by the U.S. judiciary organizations chaussure leBron james pas cher , it is against the legal spirit of the "challenge principle" that might affect the fairness as U.S. has incentives and possible interests in taking over Qatar to host the 2022 showpiece event. At least a united investigation group needs to be formed with members from different nations and regions.

In the second place, the unprecedented U.S.-led action has problems in jurisdiction and sends out a dangerous signal of taking judicial actions directly on an international organization by just one or two nations. FIFA is an international sports organization, which is not suitable for unilateral actions. If U.S. set an example, other international organizations face similar situations in the future. If the action against those international organizations is decent and is without any unilateral interest and purpose, that would be good, but one or two nations' interests can not stand for the other nations and regions leBron 13 opening night pas cher , so it could not guarantee the fairness. There are many US-led international organizations, NGOs, why U.S. pick FIFA at this special moment to be a breakthrough for action? It's more like purposeful and selective anti-corruption with U.S. interests at stake.

And also, to detain foreign sports officials outside the U.S. territory with the help of ally countries must bring jurisdiction conflicts. Only a claim that those men were involved in illegal activities on American soil is not enough as it might become a good excuse to extend one nation's territorial jurisdiction. Adding that there are still big divergences on jurisdiction both theoretically and in reality. It's a bad example of overrun of unilateral power.

Third, it's very uncommon that several political leaders showed quick reaction to this case, which means it may have gone far beyond the scope of sports. Russian President Vladimir Putin reacted just one day after the action by the Swiss police leBron 13 on court pas cher , saying that "We are aware of the pressure that was put on him (Blatter) to prevent the 2018 World Cup in Russia," and suggest.
