...and that could very well spell the beginning of the end for the crooked cunt Infantino. Without the European nations, the World Cup will be meaningless and worthless. Even more so if CONCACAF also follow through with their threat to do similar. That happens and the World Cup becomes a slightly enhanced AFCON. If Europe and the Americas pull out, that's the advertising revenue and TV rights revenue gone. None of the massive American or European broadcasters will be arsed in the slightest about even bothering to bid for such a shit non-event.

The potential death of FIFA...

FIFA is a not for profit organisation, Infantino constantly bangin on about needing to support third world FA’s, they are not including recent World Cup sitting on 6 Billion dollars cash reserves, no excuse whatsoever not to distribute at leas half of that right now but then that wouldn’t leave those third world FA’s starving enough to sign his fucking deal, stinks to high hell
sickening that even the fucking Trump family looking to gain billions from the deal.

Estimates are. From Martin Ziegler Th Times, that Infantinos proposal would bring his remuneration as “Commisioner” of the new FIFA board structure , given World Cups every two years, game of four quarters “Hydration” breaks the standard , half time intervals 30 minute show time, (all advertising revenue ) extortionate ticket prices etc. from current $6million to $50 million which is then on a par with NFL Chief executive, obviously the Trump family will want a cut but he could just give the dumb fuck another peace prize and his legacy would be tge first American President to receive TWO FIFA peace prizes!

That happens and - we're winning the World Cup!! 8-) :whistle: 🟩🟨🟩🟨

Although I hope we (AFC & OFC) pull the pin too. And proceed with a Motion of No Confidence to get him sacked. Surely untenable.
