So… after the ridiculous peace prize trump is now even forcing FIFA to manipulate the game in their favour.
If Europe had any balls we would just go home and start a new organisation to replace the corrupt FIFA. We should have never even accepted to play in trumpistan
To be the end of FIFA, the member countries would somehow have to work together and organize their own competing World Cup. A lot of the power FIFA has is that there are a lot of small football associations from corrupt countries (or at least corrupt football associations from small countries). Even if all the UEFA member states and the South American member states tried to do their own thing, that’s not enough.
Infantino can count on support from countries like Kyrgistan, Laos, Myanmar, Maldives, Yemen, Namibia, Eswatini, Somalia, South Sudan, etc. Infantino is corrupt, but he’s clever enough to spread some of the money to these other places. They know that if he’s removed or replaced, their funds will get cut off.
In the past, the only thing that worked was when a country that didn’t really care about the sport decided to step in. Back when the US wasn’t quite as corrupt as it is now, it chose to investigate FIFA and charged a whole bunch of officials with wire fraud, racketeering, money laundering, etc. I don’t know if there’s any country that has the power, the courage, and the lack of corruption to do that now. Without that, I don’t think FIFA is going to magically become clean from the inside.
