The funny thing is I'm sure Infantino got the gig due to doing a broadly good job at UEFA (and not being Sepp Blatter) but now he and the bloke who now runs UEFA are just pure bent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to a straight round of 32 knockout tournament has far too much potential for big teams to get knocked out before the final stages without it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it truly spectacular that they've managed to make such a horlicks of the World Cup in such a short space of time. A tournament that was so beautiful in it's simplicity!

Bizza Posted November 25, 2025 Share Posted November 25, 2025 Ronaldo's ban suspended until next year when he'll be retired from international football anyway, what an absolute fucking joke. And seeding the WC so the groups will be an even bigger waste of time. FIFA is an absolute shambles all round. Bring back Blatter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 28, 2025 Share Posted November 28, 2025 Just heard Guillem Balague defending FIFA on the Ronaldo ban being reduced. His reasoning seemed to be that the World Cup needs him for promotion and the money. Like that’s ok?! The fact it’s almost like giving him ‘an award’ for his great achievements and disciplinary record with Portugal. Which is better than a trophy, apparently. Oh and that it was in retaliation to being provoked. Again, how does that make it ok?! He wouldn’t have it that it is clearly favouritism and clear corruption. Due to the fact it’s Ronaldo and not some nobody in comparison. Also reminded me of the time he said PSG deserved their dodgy penalty against us. As they had dominated the game and xG My God he is a bootlicking creep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramirez Posted November 28, 2025 Share Posted November 28, 2025 He was only missing one game anyway wasn't he? Hardly the end of the world when its such a bloated format, they managed fine against Armenia anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly the end of the world when its such a bloated format, they managed fine against Armenia anyway. I think he had 2 games of the 3 to go. So he was missing the first two? But certainly the first. It was mentioned that there are for some reason, parts of the laws that say they can do this and reduce or suspend part of a ban. But there seems no basis to do this here. Other than it is that twat Ronaldo and he is a cash cow for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted December 3, 2025 Share Posted December 3, 2025 (edited) This is going to be such a fucking shitshow. Furious that the first WC on home soil in my adult life is going to be the “FIFA deepthroats MAGA” show, which is not the event I’m looking for. Suppose it’s fortunate I can’t really afford to attend any of the matches. Edited December 3, 2025 by Deuce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
