Village Idiot Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The bad news is that the president of the Spanish FA is now acting president of UEFA. Massive crock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Good to see progress being made... Grant Wahl @GrantWahl CONMEBOL, which had 3 straight presidents indicted, elects right-hand man of 3rd indictee as new president in a 1-candidate election.

Village Idiot Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Looks like the Spanish FA president will get done for a small favor he made to two Segunda B clubs (he processed their licenses even though they were financially nonviable). It will be like getting Capone for failing to pay his taxes, but I'll take that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdckelly Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 “The appeal committee determined that some strong mitigating factors for Mr Platini and Mr Blatter were not taken into account when establishing the sanction. In this sense, amongst others, the appeal committee considered that Mr Platini’s and Mr Blatter’s activities and the services they had rendered to Fifa, Uefa and football in general over the years should deserve appropriate recognition as a mitigating factor.” good lord FIFA needs to be scrapped and started again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Unbelievable claim from Blatter today: He is personally responsible for reducing the death toll at the Paris attacks because terrorists love football because of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 So if Infantino wins we'll probably have 40 teams in the World Cup by 2026 or 2030. And if Salman wins it seems likely that the backroom deals, money laundering, and human rights issues will continue. Ruin the World Cup it is!

Flip Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Seems like Infantino won. Have no idea what he could bring other than that he came across as a decent person during all those CL draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Don't know much about him except his European draws but I see in his manifesto he wants a 40 team World Cup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Personally don't see the issue with a 40 team world cup, means more games to watch, more competition, and a chance for some of the small countries to have their chance to shine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Love a good dead rubber myself. Shudder to think of the state of some of the teams qualifying n all. Assume those places will go, rightly, elsewhere than Europe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
