FIFA Spouting Gibberish Again
You Can’t Take Beckham’s Glory
In an enormous load of garbage, former FIFA president Joao Havelange has said that the World Cup in 1966, in which England won the prestigious tournament, was fixed. That England fixed the matches, with their officials, so that England would win the world’s biggest tournament. But it seems awfully convenient to me that Joao Havelange is Brazilian, and these accusations are only coming to light now, 42 years after the fact.
This is clearly just another example of FIFA’s discrimination against England. They can’t let England have their victory, FIFA has to continue bullying the nation, and calling into question their most glorious football moment, dragging the amazing victory through the mud.
Joao Havelange has also said that in 1974 the World Cup was again fixed for Germany to win. Which I also say is crap, and is once again a Brazilian crying about his nation’s failed attempt to win another title. You have one of the best sides in the world, and probably always win Brazil, let us have our small glimmer of former glory.
Instead of attacking the nation that birthed football, how about giving some credit where it’s due. The game you love, came from England, so why condemn England for victories in it’s own sport all the time.
Just look at what’s happening with UEFA now, president Michel Platini is talking about banning Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool from playing in the Champions League next season. Because the club’s have incurred a large amount of debt in buying players, Michel Platini wants them to be punished by not playing in Europe’s premier club tournament. Which is absolutely ludicrous.
You can’t dictate how a club spends their money, or how they go into debt if they want to buy expensive players. It’s also ludicrous that English teams are the only mentioned by Michel Platini, when a team like Real Madrid who paid the biggest transfer fee in history for Zidane, aren’t even accused of debt spending.
Disgusting behavior sometimes, from the world’s governing bodies of football. I don’t understand, and never will understand, how you can be so strongly opposed to a nation, and yet call yourself the impartial governing body of football. Also making FIFA’s fair-play campaign against racism hilarious, because apparently fair-play only applies to everyone that isn’t English.
Clearly something has to be done, but never will. As all the faces at the top hate England, and as long as those faces remain at the top, only fellow England haters will ever rise through the ranks at either organization.
