I don't care a dead rat's ass about FIFA or any other professional sport or it's associations. On the other hand, I wholeheartedly wish that, if the corruption was found to be involved in the awarding of the locals that they said locals are told to sit on a splintery stick and rotate - but the games won't be back in their lifetime.
Two lessons need to be taught - but the briber's need to pay a bit, too, and not just the bribed. No refunds, either.
Otherwise - places like Qatar can just right a bigger check (whatever they haven't yet given to ISIS). I suggest it not be held in a country too near to Russia or Putin will liberate it.

Article has apparently been updated... A 7th dirtbag has been given stainless steel bracelets now. 7 more have been indicted but apparently not arrested yet...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It does sound a bit like a mafia to be honest.

Gotta say I did not see that one coming.
Seriously though, I read a CNN quote (paraphrasing): Being surprised at FIFA corruption is like jumping in your swimming pool and being surprised at getting wet.
What we got here is a failure to communicate

Any hint? 
You have just been Sharapova'd.

|
|
|
Er ... isn't that what the clue's for?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but I am sure there was a rule to give a hint every two hours or so (?) if the clue doesn't get solved.
You will even find clues that went up to 3 hints.

If I am correct the hints need to be provided so that you don't have to create another CCC tomorrow

No, it's not RESTRAIN. Inhibit is not part of the definition.

Well, if the answer is FORTY TWO, the clue should have been (5,3) or (5-3), shouldn't it?

Depends on who edits the crosswords you're used to seeing. The two people who edit the crosswords I write use the style which ignores hyphens (the purpose of which, after all, is to make it a single word) so I'm just used to doing it that way. Some publications use (5-3), others (8 hyphenated).
I somehow think it unlikely that anyone thought the answer was 42 but changed their mind on looking at the enumeration however but I'll happily yield the floor if someone can claim that in total honesty!

Well, the truth is you are up again and by the rules[^], if you set a difficult one tomorrow as well, then...
And you get my vote for this one. It was a difficult one (at least for me), I must admit.

Movie Quote Of The Day
Whatever female-driven, emotion-based dilemma you may be dealing with right now, you have my sympathy. But for the sake of time and sanity, let's break this down into a little male-driven fact-based logic. One simple phone call saves your dad's life.
Which movie?
