I suspect it will have little effect on anything given theres no world cup qualifiers any time soon while in an ideal world the various fa's would boycot fifa, what would happen is no international matchs and it wouldn't surprise me if UEFA would also forbid them from going into euro's and stop any english club side from taking part in champions league or europa league FIFA takes a dim view of those who question them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 FIFA are bunch of wankers and all football fedeations too. The Brazilian Federation CBF and FIFA will make money on the World Cup 2014 in Brazil, while Brazil will need until 2030 to pay for the World Cup. Funny how one pays and the other gains.

Thespence Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 FIFA may have cleared Nicolas Leoz, their member from Paraguay, of demanding a knighthood from England's 2018 bid but a report published on Monday evening suggests his aide asked for the FA Cup to be named after him. The knighthood claim was made in Parliament by ex-FA and bid chairman Lord Triesman - he also alleged impropriety by three other FIFA members. The claims prompted the FA to commission an inquiry by barrister James Dingemans QC to report on any corroborating evidence. FIFA said they have "found no elements in this report which would prompt the opening of any ethics proceedings". Although there was no evidence Leoz himself asked for a knighthood, Dingemans' report says Leoz's aide Alberto Almirall had mentioned honours or having the FA Cup named after him. An e-mail to bid officials from England 2018's South America-based consultant Les Dickens said: "Regarding the offer to name a cup after him, Alberto's comments were 'Dr Leoz is an old man and to go to London just to meet the Prince and go to the FA Cup final is not reason enough. If this is combined, say, with the naming of the CUP [sic] after Dr Leoz then that could be reason enough' his words literally." In an email to Dickens, Almirall, who works for the South American confederation CONMEBOL of which Leoz is president, said: "Confidentially I know that he would love to have a decoration from the British Crown or government." There were internal discussions in England 2018 about what honour might "properly be given" to Leoz, and Triesman said there had been talks about possibly creating an FA Disability Cup named after Leoz to honour his contribution to the Special Olympics. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/30052011/63/fa-cup-request-revealed.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Above law and reasoning. Pretty sure if he was running a country, it'd be classed as a Dictatorship. That's always the parrallel I like to use too.
