After staging the World Cup in Brazil so successfully it seems that FIFA has gone into hibernation !
Staging the 2018 World Cup Finals in Russia and the 2022 Finals in Qatar has raised new problems but no credible solutions. In particular with reference to the suspected irregularities connected with the surprise selection in 2010 of Qatar as Hosts, there has been a blackout of information due to the embargo on making public a 350 page report on the vote !
The very fact that there is an embargo has nourished suspicions that something is wrong somewhere ! Will this embargo be lifted before the next FIFA Presidential election ?
Since 2010 little, or nothing, has changed in FIFA under the stewardship of Sepp Blatter ! Ebola has spread panic throughout the world but FIFA has issued no guidelines. Never are there any votes to adopt "reserve venues" as cover if a major catastrophy occurs in the world of FIFA !
Who would bear the loss if an international footballer died from Ebola while playing in the African Nations Cup ?
Finally, does FIFA have any solution for the World Cup if Russia is at war in 2018 ?
