oooh, its linked to his charity "'The Wayne Rooney Foundation international"
Just make it a charity friendly then rather than a full cap international, assuming FIFA rules allow it on international weekend.
Then again do I really care, or am I just bored this lunch hour?

I see that as part of a 'Truth Commission' to look at suspected corruption and infiltration by organised crime at Newham Council, they are also going to investigate the relationship between the Council and West Ham, apparently Karren Brady has been desperately trying to meet with the mayor setting this up before the terms of reference are set, but the mayor is refusing to meet her at the moment.....

Not too sure why the clubs and players would really give a shit. And I’d have thought FIFA is only concerned because it’d effect their board’s ability to live the high life.

Clubs won't, players will if playing in the new super league would effectively make them unable to play for their countries. That's still a significant honour for many and for the very top players winning a World Cup is a huge aspiration. Of course, you may be right that if enough money is waved at them they won't care and then it's a question of what happens if FIFA's bluff is called - will they be willing to devalue their own competition by not having the very best players competing in it? And I’d have thought FIFA is only concerned because it’d effect their finances.
Well obviously. But it's still nice to see that occasionally they can be on the right side, if only out of naked self-interest in keeping the gravy train running

Infantino is just trying to deflect attention from being further implicated in the Man City/PSG FFP avoidance scandal.

Considering the riches he has helped bring in to the top flight, I don’t see an issue....it’s a non story really.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

Ignoring the hypocrisy of the Mail publishing an anti hate and anti racism article, I guess I'm going to be in a minority here.
You take away the 'edge' side of atmosphere at football, you make it a sterile sport that I'd find pointless to watch.
the is a line, granted it's hard to define where that line is, but it's hopefully a long way away from polite clapping and songs of kum-ba-yah.
(I'm ignoring the racism part of the story, colour of skin should be irrelevant)

I think you'e right to point it out. Of course it probably has nothing to do with Sterling calling out newspapers (mentioning no names) for fostering racism. Perhaps a point that Rich P could raise with Moreshead. The atmosphere at Boca v River in the Bernabeu last night was amazing....
