Right now...the anti-Europe elements of FIFA have the votes to get another ‘Sepp’ into place and continue the game. Presently, I have doubts that five or six of the European clubs will show up for the 2022 World Cup.

If Platini doesn’t replace Blatter, UEFA could very well boycott.

And Prince Ali takes his place ?

Something about Prince Ali is not right.

Once he takes top spot of the world’s biggest sport, yes, this has a lot of political connections, he will take the riens of the president of the United Nations.

The rise of the Anti-Christ.

Something about Prince Ali is not right.

Invite Brazil and Argentina to a European Championship and call that the new world cup.

There's only about eight teams that ever have a chance of winning this thing and none are from Africa, Asia or North/Central America.

There are seven teams which are the entire first tier (Germany, Argentina, Italy, France, Netherlands, Brazil, Spain). I might push Mexico up every twenty years as to having a decent team.....same with Sweden and the UK. Beyond that? The rest are loaded with two-star players.

I guess the ‘Septic Bladder’ stunk it up too much.

I hear that what FIFA really stands for is “F... Israel, F...America”.
