His strategy is to focus on support from non-European/western parts of the footballing world. It’s worked very well for him, I doubt he cares how his comments go over here.

It’s sadly also a fact, that what we in the western world consider important: democracy, equality and human rights, isn’t shared all over the world. Easier to “buy” votes from countries that welcome investments and promises more. Not surprised he didn’t have a contender for the post.

I have no complaints about the journalism of Monsieur Auclair.

Ah!

Just on the radio they’re willing to relax their alcohol laws if they win the bid. We’ve heard things like that before.

I’m bald and even I think Infantino is a bald prick

There’s no doubt that oil countries run football and authorities like FIFA are fully behind them, because of the money they’re ploughing into the game, as well as their personal bank accounts.

But annoyingly, we’ll see pundits like Lineker criticise them, while continuing to ignore how clubs like Man City have cheated their way to success, and reveal the blatant hypocrisy of pundits on programmes like MOTD.

for the ones who think there should not be any politics involved in sports/football… well, then let Saudi to host it.

for the ones who believe there is always politics in sports/football, then here you are. If Saudi gets it, it is politics.

You sound more annoyed about the second bit.

And loads will moan and moan but end up going anyway.

Corrupt bastards strike again
