WTAF?!

He's given up on any UEFA support, but Morocco are a leading African footballing nation, so if he can get them on side....

Of course, you question his long term prospects if his strategy involves making an enemy of football's most powerful continent.

The FIFA corrupt President remains after another corrupt FIFA Executive meeting…….in Morroco

Time for a breakaway federation then.

FIFA "will no longer tolerate any attacks on its integrity, good governance and due process and will take all necessary measures to protect and safeguard its name and reputation".

Or what?

Stop acting like corrupt bastards and people will stop criticising you. You're not Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinpeng who can just lock any critics away.

UEFA not backing down

UEFA’s associations were very clear about the conditions attached to their non participation in FIFA competitions.

First, the proposals to sell off the major competitions had to be withdrawn and secondly, assurances have to be made that such attempts to disfigure the game in this way will never be made again.

These conditions have not been met. In addition, UEFA made it abundantly clear in its statement on Saturday that it has lost confidence in Gianni Infantino’s presidency. That position holds.

Yesterday’s announcement that some people employed by the FIFA President (and whose careers depend on his favour) agree with him changes nothing.

First CONMEBOL criticism of Infantino's FIFA over World Cup sell-off plan, expressesing "concern regarding the repeated unilateral actions taken without resorting to dialogue or to the institutional mechanisms established to address situations of this nature

Global players’ union FIFPRO says trust is "now deeply shattered” with FIFA over the World Cup shares sell off and has demanded changes including votes on the FIFA Council to restore relations fully again

FIFA's management board are a bunch of corruption enabling oxf*rd. How have they just let Infantino carry on after the shambles of the World Cup and the FFE bullshit.

People reliant on Infantino being in a job to keep their job in supporting Infantino shocker.

Not sure if others can read this. I get free access to some NYT articles. Alongside Ziegler, Tariq Panja has been really good to follow on the whole FIFA thing.
