It is just like the Mafia, all looking after each other. Yes they help smaller countries and under privileged ones, but for me its just money laundering and a great way to keep themselves on the gravy boat.
Look at the way they look after these countries after the games are finished, and look at how they have crippled some of these countries without a second thought.
The FBI will bring FIFA down as we know it, we can only hope it does not take too long and those who do take over run it properly once they do.

The European nations want more of it, the clubs don't get any of it and would gladly see the end of international football competition, although if they were somehow"compensated" that might change.
I can foresee boycott on the horizon. It 's a fall of the Roman Empire scenario. FIFA is too big and bloated, has no unity and awaits pillaging by the money fevered hoors in charge of European football. Blatter will be unable to stop it happening.

As usual plenty of " posturing" and no action!
Still a bit to run on the corruption story methinks

Over simplified, obviously, as there would be many obstacles but the status quo ain't working.

No doubt about the fact that Blatter is corrupt, but pinning everything on him seems to be wrong IMO. What really gets on my nerves is that FIFA - under Swiss law - is registered as a "non-profit making organisation", i.e. a charity of sorts! The "NPO" is not required to pay tax (any taxes as far as I'm aware) particularly in Switzerland (its base) as Swiss law does not currently regard paying bribes as an official offence, it's looked on as being more of a sort of "private issue"(!)) Switzerland is a strange country anyway when it comes to matters of corruption, illegality, money laundering and so forth - just look at the banks! There's a lot more wrong at FIFA and a society that is prepared to accept FIFA than this little Swiss gnome alone, surely? Even if Blatter goes, will his successor run the "charity" any differently? One has to wonder what benefit this public utility/charity is to society at large to justify it retaining its NPO status? I don't see any at all myself ...

It will depend on the tax laws in the country in which they're resident. In UK terms, any such sponsorship qualifies as advertising, and is therefore tax-deductible.

Biggest problem trying to get anything to stick to Blatter is he doesn't use e mails or texts and very rarely uses mobile phones, he's obviously making sure nothing comes back to haunt him, very devious man.
