From newspaper reports it is clear that FIFA has completely lost control of anything it wants to undertake !!!
FIFA executive members have tried to obtain favours for their votes during the bidding for future World Cup venues !!! Sepp Blatter, the outgoing President, must have been aware of what was going on.
What is also more than surprising, is that at the last congress FIFA voted for not only the hosts of the 2018 World Cup, but also for the hosts of the 2022 World Cup !!! This is surprising because the 2022 World Cup venue should have been the next President's duty.
The 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar, a country which is a footballing non-entity. Qatar is ranked at about N° 100 !!!
There are two candidates for the post of President of FIFA. They are Sepp Blatter, aged 75 and who has already served 12 years as President, and Bin Hammam, aged 62, born in Qatar !!!
Is it not strange that these two men are fighting for the Presidency of FIFA ? Is it a sheer coincidence that Qatar has already been voted to be the hosts for the 2022 World Cup ?
Sepp Blatter wants to oversee the promised reorganisation of FIFA, which of course he did not have time to do during the last 12 years. In previous articles (see this blog dated May 1) it was suggested that a real debate between these two candidates should take place on television and that both candidates should clearly state what they wanted to achieve as President.
This simple and practical idea was not taken up. One can only infer that during the coming years nothing important will change; things will simply go on as before !!!
