Former FIFA President Josep Blatter also wrote on X that the “close relationship” between Infantino and the US President Donald Trump “has reached a financial dimension that is deeply damaging football.”
look, Infantino even managed to beat Blatter at the corruption game. Impressive.
Just jealous he didn’t get a cut
FIFA is not untouchable. It is a corrupt, and incorigble institution that deserves to be disbanded and replaced by something better. Europe should rip the bandaid and leave. What good does FIFA do anyway aside from arranging the world cup and some interegional matches? Less talk and more action.
It’s all words until they pull out of the next World Cup. If they didn’t boycott Russia, Qatar, USA and no word on the Saudi World Cup, then they are not going to do anything now. It’s all greed and corruption all the way through.
I think the now decided to boycott FIFA
‘Our game’ lmfao
Nobody owns football. Marketeers and corrupt leaders just pretend they do and for almost a century now, everyone sort of agreed they did, just like the EU has for decades now.
Like, NOW you push back on the most blatantly corrupt organization? Now? Bit late don’t you think.
Better late than never.
‘Our game’ lmfao Nobody owns football.
It depends upon how you interpret ‘our’ as it’s pretty vague. It means ‘belonging to us’ but I think that ‘us’ literally means everyone in the world except FIFA in this context.
I imagine FIFA would take the Nintendo route in the future: every team, including childrens football, would have to pay a fee.
It’s simply not possible to do that. It’s not Monopoly where a single entity owns the rights to it. People can just create a new game body or even play without one.
FIFA would still try.
while European countries are reportedly weighing a boycott.
Most of then don’t have the balls to boycott Eurovision, I seriously doubt they will boycott World Cup.
UEFA member organisations ≠ Nation states ≠ EBU member organisations
That the EBU members are spineless cucks doesn’t mean that other organizations are.
Besides there’s not much risk of being labeled antisemitic in this case.
You’re right: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jul/30/uefa-agrees-to-boycott-fifa-competitions-if-world-cup-sell-off-plans-proceed
I underestimated them. Good for them!
Legit exchange y’all.
I grow so tired of politicians pretending to be mad at the corrupt elite class.
People will flock to the circus because people are stupid. Here we are, helping usher in the surveillance state using “sports” as the guise while people get kickbacks in the millions to do it.
Its not your team, it never was.
Love football? Quit participating in the marketed version.
Being so emotionally invested in a product they sell you for profit is some of the dumbest shit you can do.
Slams
Okay.
I’ll wait for ‘indicts and jails’ tyvm
Why not start a new ⚽ organization. ?
I mean. Why not?
FIFA is too corrupt. Just forget about them. Someone else should make a new one.
They are all corrupt. Why do you think IOC keep organizing the Olympics in countries like China and Russia? Football is corrupt from the very bottom to the very top. Anything you will build will end up like FIFA.
yes, please. Teach a larger percentage of the population the dangers of capitalism. we’re already close to a majority for socialism, this will easily push us over the hill. Golden age ahead.
