Then we are pretty much on the same page.
Holland has a population of 17,000,000 whilst Argentina's is 41,000,000 I think that makes this a loaded question
Also, can you tell me why the world cup has never been held in Holland, a country with the second oldest F.A.
I think it's high time we took back football, brought it home to England and form a new confederation. FIFA should be finished. To do that a boycott by some of the best footballing nations on the planet (Germany, England, Brazil, Holland etc) and an alternative tournament offered would see that house of cards fall for good.
How ever did we manage to win the Olympics ahead of the French
That was In the bag wasn't It?
Something definitely has gone on
Somewhere , someone has definitely pulled a fast one or actually won the right to host the competition.in Russia ,possibly at the expense of England who may in private have had the Impression It was In the bag
What Is true and clear Is that 2022 to be decided at the same time as 2018 was absolutely absurd and Is clearly a case of turning the World upside down to accommodate that choice,utterly bizarre!!
On the matter of FIFA It has to be transformed. / reformed
You just can't have the same guy at the head for more than one term, Its not healthy,Its not a dynasty and could perpetuate the continuation of poor decisions
For all the perception of It being the Pinacle or giant of football It really isn't or won't be if It Isn't careful
It has to be open to the same Scrutiny as company/ corporation and taxed accordingly
If I'm not mistaken the Premiership has possibly now outstripped It financially, that should be good enough reason for members to have Jettisoned him last time
Not that I'm a huge fan of the Premiership and Its greed or distribution either,maybe Scudamore should stand aside too!!
Is this serious? And people wonder why the English are accused of arrogance?! Do you think the English are so superior to be above corruption as well?
Fun article describing how Blatter keeps his support.
Looks at the Caymen Islands, a country of 58,000 people who has as much influence on FIFA votes as Germany, China or India.

:thinking about:
Being reported that Blazer has confirmed bribes were accepted for the World Cups in France and South Africa. Who was head of the French organising committee? No wonder Platini was supporting Blatter.
As as soon as a bit of pressure has been applied they seem to have broken and the whole thing is falling apart now, Blatter needs to get his tailor in to make him a lovely orange suit for him to wear when they pull him in as well.
The US tend to offer a decent plea bargain. They'll want the guy at the top so will be happy to see those lower down get a lesser punishment if they will give up Blatter. Will also be questions over Platini now as well.
Can't see how the Russia and Qatar results can not be called into question now.
just to get a new head of FIFA will not do though they need to rid the organisation of many of these other dreadful people like Valcke who may even stand.
