The cheapest way of getting Sky Sports & TNT is £51 a month.
I believe that gives you 267 of the 380 games across the Premier League season.
There’s literally no legal way to watch the other 113 games.
This is the full package for half of that.
We get taken the piss out of.
When you’ve got Sepp Blatter speaking as the voice of reason, you know the game is fully gone.
Infantino is a genuine stain on the sport, you’ll struggle to find anyone in the sport’s history who’s been so nakedly desperate to secure the bag by any means necessary.
The World Cup is not FIFA’s to sell. “Outside investors" should be nowhere near the greatest sporting prize on earth. "Outside investors" should be nowhere near a governing body, even a subsidiary of FIFA. The optics are terrible. The threat of interference is obvious. There was enough political interference in the sport at the World Cup over suspending Folarin Balogun’s suspension. Damaged the integrity of the game. There was commercial interference with the sponsored hydration breaks. Damaged the flow of the game.
FIFA insists that the billions raised by “outside investors” will help smaller national associations in the story first reported by the Financial Times and Times. That, coincidentally, should guarantee Gianni Infantino votes to continue as FIFA president next March.
FIFA also insists that these outside investors’ involvement in “FIFA Forward Enterprise” will not interfere with the “democratic” process of FIFA. But who are these private investors? What are their motives? Ego? Influence? Alarm bells should be ringing throughout world football about this deeply dangerous development.
@AlfieHouseEcho We weren't expecting to be kicked out of the playoffs and then we were so, am expecting an equally harsh punishment this time around. They'll still be wanting to make an example out of us!
Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
