Making sense of Blatter's admission

Another week, another dance to the tune of the FIFA follies. Let's try to make sense of it, shall we?

Q: Sepp Blatter finally spoke and admitted that the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding was fixed well in advance. He gave an interview to TASS, the Russian news agency and said: "In 2010 we had a discussion of the World Cup and then we went to a double decision. For the World Cups it was agreed that we go to Russia because it's never been in Russia, eastern Europe and for 2022 we go back to America.
