Do you know, back in either February or March, at the FIFA congress two points of discussion were bumped down the list to the bottom where they would only be brought up if there was time. Do you know what the two points were? The corruption allegations pertaining to the World Cup bidding process and whether goal line technology should be embraced. Do you know what they were bumped to make room for? This is a cracker: Whether snoods should be banned in football.
How do you deal with an organization which, as part of it's demands for allowing 'it's' world cup to be played in a country demand tax exempt status in perpetuity and that none of their employees or their employees employees will have to obtain a visa, and threaten to suspend any association if that associations national government 'interfere' in it's business whilst turning a blind eye to somewhere like South Korea who voted for Russia in the last bid because the South Korean government want to foster closer trade links to Russia, and are so flagrantly arrogant and -allegedly - corrupt that they kick any discussion of the subject out of their meetings and dare to criticizes countries for having a free media that report upon it? And....goodness I need to take a deep breath..lol.
I love football, I really do. But this is something else. If the EU has any balls what so ever they will simply start massive legal proceedings and get as many of these sods locked up as possible. FIFA might not be a criminal organization but I'm not sure the people running it aren't.
