    Bring South America in as a bi continental and FIFA will fold straight away.

    It would be funny if they didn't and we got to see a classic run to the quarter finals from the Federated States of Micronesia

    ....don't think they'd be entirely gutted to have a world cup like the world series...

    So, ten days after the world cup final. Looking in retrospect it's a massive relief that it wasn't the compromised, corrupt, politically interfered with, over commercialised, pile of crap, that I feared it might be. Lucky that the game is in the solid safe hands of a non-profit FIFA who are surely the most worthy of custodians of the peoples game.

    I wonder how much thought went into placing stakeholders in this order(and yes, UEFA will know it will be scrutinised)...
    "prioritise associations, clubs, leagues, players and fans".

    FIFA are such a horrible organisation that they make UEFA look like good guys. Incredible.

    I see that the Infantino fightback involves demonstrating his adherence to Football doctrine, by not allowing political interference.

    Oh, hold on. No, that should read: Fucks straight off to consult with the fascist conspiracy. He spends more time kissing the trumps than farage these days.

    Infantino has offered Morocco the 2030 WC Final in exchange for their supporting him, according to The Times. This guy is remarkable.

    Hadn't seen that. It's not really the African nations he needs to convince you'd think.

    Reports that the French FA (FFF) are going to break from UEFA's boycott and support Infantino.

    I think the word you are looking for is "collaborate"
