Next year, but he's running unopposed and has already been endorsed my nearly every single country. So its not really an election.

I hope this spurs action from nations to dump fifa where it belongs. Fifa is nothing without the teams and nations who participate. Time to tell infantino to kick rocks

I thought Infantino bribing countries with WC tickets was bad, but this is so much worse.


I'm going to laugh if the only countries that sign on are the poorer desperate ones.

I'm genuinely curious to see what the US does, and I hate to say that I don't know which way we'd go at this point.

Given the current state of affairs, I'd tend to agree.

Hell yeah!

Hopefully this goes the way of the ill-advised European Super League from a few years ago.

I was reading somewhere today that CONCACAF and the Caribbean Football Union were leaning towards doing the same

FIFA apologises but backlash against 'cravenly self-interested' Gianni Infantino grows

The article says after an emergency meeting that members of the board all clarified their support for Infantino then added this gem:
Quote:
It added that, with the proposal withdrawn, FIFA would "no longer tolerate any attacks on its integrity, good governance and due process" and would take all necessary measures to protect its reputation.
