At the very least, I think we need to consider our participation in the 2022 tournament.

I think EVERY nation will have to consider their participation in 2022 if it's still held in Qatar.

I think most football supporters in England would agree, but the FA are way too out of touch to notice and wouldn't give a flying fuck even if they did. I always wonder where the senior FA hierarchy come from as I don't recognise many of their names in a football sense. Maybe if it was run by ex-players things would be better, as long as they're not just as bent as Platini is.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Of course they should. But pretty much every country's FA is run by corrupt self-interested greedy bastards* who have no interest in rocking the boat/gravy train so it won't happen.

I fancied a game of fifa tonight but my ps3 says its corrupt.

"Football is not in a crisis, only some difficulties," said the Fifa president.

The cunt is deluded. He thinks that FIFA is football.

Fuck FIFA, football would be better off without the bunch of sponging old cunts.

Every time that slimeball utters the phrase 'the football family' it makes me want to vomit violently.

[THE FLASH]

Politics!

Once again the fans get fucked over!

In an unexpected turn of the events the FA have suddenly grown a pair of testicles;

They're requesting the election be postponed and an independent (using the normal rather than the FIFA interpretation of the word) party to perform a review of FIFA's governance, procedures and so on. Will be interesting to see how the other football associations respond.

The blog on the Guardian site is suggesting that media outside of the UK and Australia isn't half as interested in the FIFA story, and that the FA's latest move will simply see it further isolated.  (Considering we host the biggest league in the world in terms of revenue and media interest, the FA has surprisingly little influence anyway.)

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.  I would imagine that Blatter will now seek to isolate the FA further in order to shore up his own position.

PS  Where is Davis when you need him?  He was great at political intrigue stuff like this.  I miss him.

It's attracted a great deal of attention in Thailand, and I suspect the rest of S. E. Asia.

How though. If he takes away our voting powers (which he probably can't do anyway) it looks like a stitch up.

We will never get the World Cup anyway, so what is left to threaten with?
