FIFA President Gianni Infantino:

“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.

“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.

“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.

“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.

“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”

Can we just once in this country elect a party that is not consumed by infighting, ego-driven, reactionary to every little wobble of public opinion, choosing to serve first and foremost? Whether it's the Tories or Labour, the constant changing of PM is embarrassing and tiresome

I do think certain publications should be renamed "Grumpy Christians writing articles..."

@glenscrivener @robinbarfield78 It's at moments like this, that I once again realise that all my best jokes/comments - I really shouldn't share. But I have a great one...

@JeanHatchet @TheGreenParty @MothinAli A prime example of why, on both sides, people who want to get into politics are the worst people to get there. Talking over each other, talking in soundbites, utterly depressing.

It would be really nice, if a UK government, of any persuasion, could get through a few years in office without collapsing into petty in-fighting.
