>European nations are considering boycotting the World Cup if FIFA president Gianni Infantino insists on selling a stake in the organization's commercial assets to private investors.>The controversy erupted after FIFA's plan to create the subsidiary FIFA Forward Enterprise, valued at $20 billion, became known. The goal is to sell more than 20% to outside investors in order to raise $4.2 billion. Among the investor groups, Thrive Eternal stands out, led by Josh Kushner, who is linked to Donald Trump's family.Would be hilarious if UEFA boycotted their own world cup in Spain in 2030, allowing Argentina or Brazil to waltz to the World Cup.
Are you too afraid to post on /sp/?
>>157168617>>157168618ayyyylmaoalso, I'm old enough to remember when UEFA was going to boycott CUM 2026
>>157168617>>157168618rare
>>157168617KWAB
>>157168617Why would Europe boycott its own World Cup. Infantino knows that he holds all the cards and that UEFA won't do shit.
>>157168617What shit board did this get moved from
UEFA will cave because they know they would get executed by the Spanish and Portuguese if they fumble the World Cup solely because of "the Orange Man is mean"
>>157168642>>157168647>>157168694/pol/
>>157168617>consideringlol lmao even
why yurop such pussy we should continue WC without them
>>157168751It got instamoved from /pol/ in like 120 seconds? Do mods just squat on that board?
They already robbed us with their referee, and now UEFA wants to sell us on the idea that they're the good guys? HAHAHA
>>157168617The contradiction here is that UEFA is - nominally - comprised of the national football associations, FA, etc. All of whom support Infantino being re-elected, unopposed. UEFA spent too long fending off Super League and arguing about how to divvy up their CL riches to bother with international football. They've taken their eye off the ball, and left it open for FIFA to railroad any old trash through, with the support of bribed thirdies. They are now busy performative shouting about who left the stable door open to distract from the real question - who handed over the fucking keys to FIFA in the first place?
Uruguay o hexa incoming
>>157168617Based UEFA, and based politicians already starting to chimp out. I hope they strangle this baby in the crib just like they strangled the super league.
>>157168617Good stuff. I want chaos, but pronouced in english as "chow-sss".
>>157168741>the Orange Manyou retard it's not just about that
>>157168921this corrupt bald weasel is literally trying to sell The World Cup to the Kushners, ffs. If you doubt Trump doesn't have his fat orange snout in this trough somewhere, you are deranged. Gazas Board of Peace will be the new VAR committee.
>>157168895Your politicians won't do shit.
>>157168837You can't solve the problem of little shitter nations voting exactly because all these little shitter nations can voteAll UEFA can do is leave and make a new version of FIFA
>>157168617>selling a stake in the organization's commercial assets to private investors.Burger WC title incoming, prepare for the seethe
>>157168954I'm saying UEFA would object if it was someone else buying. Do you think they would be happy if some Saudi was buying the WC?
>>157168979And how exactly is UEFA going to get non-UEFA nations to join? They'll either have to offer representation or even fatter bribes. If they can't at least get CONMEBOL on their side the new FIFA and WC will just be Euros 2.0. Better to boycott and wait for FIFA to come begging.
>>157169031>And how exactly is UEFA going to get non-UEFA nations to join?some of these nations get money from FIFA I don't care if they attract them. I don't care if Bhutan or Kitts and Nevis is playing some World Cup qual gamesOnly Sudaca, CUM, Japan, Australia really matters outside of Europe
>>157168772It's the only board that's actually strictly moderated for obvious reasons.
The Euro with Brazil, Argentina and a couple of African countries (Morocco and Senegal the obvious choices right now) would make for a more interesting WC actually
>>157169126Euro Cup but with:ArgentinaBrazilUruguayJapanAustraliaMoroccoSenegalNigeriaUSAMexicoThe other 22 slots go to UEFA teams.
>>157169084>>157169126Agreed, but the AFC and CAF are Infantino's strongest base. Asking those nations to break with their confederations is a pretty tall ask.
>sudacas begging at the altar of europeans yet againkek, vira lata scum. UEFA/EU should make sudacas give up trade protectionism in exchange for intervening in soccer oder etwas
>>157168979>You can't solve the problem of little shitter nations voting exactly because all these little shitter nations can vote>All UEFA can do is leave and make a new version of FIFAlel, a microcosm[macrocosm?] of the EU
>>157168617Way ahead of you, we started boycotting in Ruzzia
>>157169156Let them have their own world cup with the concacaf. USA might even win it and think they're the best in the world. Everyone's happy.
>>157169153>>157169156Agreed
>>157169153>USANah, they need to be banned from football
Are you guys ready
>>157169201Based Italians 12 years ahead of the curve.
Either way UEFA holds all the cards. If UEFA were to just do another Euros when they usually do the world cup little would be lost apart. UEFA can function just fine by themselves indefinitely while FIFA would look stupid and the competition would be a shadow of what it had been and lose billions.
>>157169153Honestly, we should just host the Euro Cup every 2 years, but every other tournament is a "Euro Cup Invitational" where 10-16 teams are invited from other confederations based on how they did in their continental tournaments.
>>157169324Also, you could potentially host the Euro Cup Invitational editions in South America sometimes, perhaps if Brazil/Argentina won the previous Invitational edition. Never in shithole desert countries with no football culture.
>>157169324>>157169364one edition of a UEFA + Conmebol tournament would be enough for the entire global audience to give up on the "official" World Cup
>>157169320>>157169324lol fifa would have to rename theirs "3rd world cup"
>>157169411>s-save the world cup for us, e-europe-sama...>we... didn't mean all those things we said... ..>y-you won't hold that esuchen and racism stuff against us, r-right?? i-it was just b-banter.kek, vira lata dog
>Fifa and soccer is officially ending indirectly because 4chan got upset about gamer journalists a decade ago
>>157168617Unfortunately UEFA doesn't have the balls because they too are joined at the hip with FIFA, so it's just a power play for internal politics shenanigans. UEFA is the only institution that could effectively strong arm FIFA into unfucking their entire business enterprise/scam, especially now that the EU is giving strong signals towards some kind of intervention. The EU can only do fines, which isn't enough of a solution given how deep FIFA's pockets are. But UEFA boycotting WC 2030 would be a heavy hit since everyone just watches the WC for European football anyway, whether you want it or not.I just wish we returned to a normal WC with one host nation or two co-host maximum. The CUM Cup was already a logistical nightmare, and now wanting to spread the competition through six countries and three continents is the kind of insanity that only Saudi money could buy. Portugal and Spain co-hosting the event makes much more sense than just forcing Morocco down our throats because they're the African football superpower or whatever nonsense just because they rigged themselves into the AFCON final. It's embarrassing. They have no cultural continuity with the Iberian peninsula, so it's just going to make it something sanitized and profoundly meaningless. Plus the bullshit centenary matches being played in Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina for whatever reason. Just have it all in Montevideo and stop rolling over for Saudi interests so obviously.
>>157168617they won't do shit
>>157168617Doesn't matter, football died with Messi.Imagine looking forward to a 64 teams world cup...
>>157168617Infantino really makes the jews look charitable
>>157168617For what the hell did they announce that now? After the worst world cup in the worst "country" (wich shouldn*t allowed to play like Russia at first) with the worst rules, the worst rigging and the worst final thinkable. Me do not care because succker isn't football anymore and if UEFA do their own thing it can't be worst at least.
>>157169291Imagine a world cup with the UCL format but every year. Doesn't sound that bad t b h >>157168617It's kinda pointless since not even the 5 confederations put together have enough power or influence built over a hundred years to stage a World Cup. Each one of them has enough bullshit over their internal politics to be objective or even neutral when it comes to literally any issue of importance.Fifa exists to impose UEFA standards over shithole federations and to promote UEFA players. It's a simbiotic relationship
>>157168617>Closely monitoring the situation.LMAOOOO, FUCKING EUROSISSIES!
>>157168677Spain will not co-host if jewrocco gets the final anyway.
>>157169726The idea that pure jewish evil can't win and has to hide and do PR and charity and shit has been disproven by Trump and pissrael. Democratic Liberalism is over, you're getting the jackboot forever now.
>>157168786>still seething Jesus move on already, its just pathetic at this point.
>>157169554>centenary matches being played in Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina>for whatever reason.you already stated the reason, Saudi money.By hosting 2030 in '3 continents' - Europe (Spain/Portugal), Africa (Morocco), and South America (Uruguay/Argentina/Paraguay) - all 3 are rotation barred from applying for 2034 - Saudis - AND 2038 - (Guess Who) - as under the max. host one tournament in every 3 'Law', only North America and Oceania (-Aussies, as Asian) could host '38.tldr, its annuda FIFA stitchup for Saudis/Burgers and they don't even bother trying to pretend otherwise.
>>157169535butterfly effect is real
>>157169933Leaving FIFA is starting to look less and less unrealistic.
>>157169933If the rumour about a 64 NT competition is true (no official confirmation yet), that would give China enough of a chance to become hosts, which is my entire schizo theory on this right now. Which admittedly isn't much of a theory given how divested China has become from football, but they still have that bugman mentality of wanting to do all the big international competitions for prestige points.
>>157169554>Unfortunately UEFA doesn't have the balls because they too are joined at the hip with FIFA, so it's just a power play for internal politics shenanigans.They might actually do something this time since Infantino's proposal takes power away from them. Under his plan, all events would be owned by a seperate holding company outside of FIFA's hierarchy, with him becoming the CEO after his last term ends. UEFA would be insane to agree with it.
>>157169993Xi doesn't want to host the world cup only to lose every match 5-0. He is not a tinpot retard.
>>157168994lmao
>>157169997He's just making the most insane proposal now, so in a few years time he can "walk it back" and make it look like the UEFA still won something.
>>157169956Though it would be a dream if UEFA did something for once, that would only give FIFA a blank card to lower the sporting standards elsewhere. And probably to the point of making football unrecognisable in the Americas and Africa. But there is no chance that is going to happen.
>>157170003That would be all well and good if you couldn't possibly rig the matches. Like it happened in Korea, in Qatar or in the CUM competition.
>>157169997China can't host 2038 (under current rules) as Saudis (2034) also Asian Federation - which would then be barred from hosting again until 2046.FIFA would probably be interested as market expansion (= bigger bribe pool) but they'd then need to throw out the rotation rule book they are abusing to ensure Burgers host 2038 out the window - not habbening - and as >>157170003, I doubt China would be interested anyway.IF they were going to give it to an Asian nation, I'd much rather see India personally, but it will be some camelfucker oil shithole on 12 year Asia host duty rotation until either FIFA are deposed or Iran remove the hosts.
>>157170102>above should have been at >>157169993
>>157170102>IF they were going to give it to an Asian nation, I'd much rather see India personally>tf
>>157170132all jeet jokes aside, India would be a fucking fantastic place to hold a WC. Its supposed to be interesting, not corporate fucking drivel that could be anywhere.
>>157170151It's 40 degrees Celsius, 100% humidity, and the air quality is terrible all the time.
>>157168617Football Nations League soon, fuck FIFA.That's what's gonna happen
>>157170102>I'd much rather see India personally
>>157170176as opposed to the temperate delights of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc?Indias big enough to have every climate, you can pretty much pick your poison. And you can't tell me it wouldn't be more fun than some camelfuckers spare desert patch with 5 tacky New Money temp stadiums thrown up on it. And fuck all else.
>>157170176If Beijing was capable of clearing the air for the Olympics, I'm certain India could do something also. But I don't think they is the political will in India to want to host the WC. I hear that they hate WCs over there. Jokes aside, I agree with what anon says about it being an interesting location. It's much better than whatever the fuck Portugal/Spain/Morocco + Uruguay/Paraguay/Argentine is supposed to be. Just keep it simple, keep it culturally recognisable, keep it kino.
>>157170151>India would be a fucking fantastic place to hold a WCOh, so you weren't joking...
>>157170212a genuine fanin Qatar, he'd have been given a strip and been paid to sit there.
>>157170219I'm kinda wondering about their shitty NEOM sky scrapper stadium, can't imagine that will go according to plan. But it's just going to be Qatar 2.0 anyway.
>>157169834It's the endtime grift. They bet not only the farm but the land too. Too short to say what happens but when you lost your base, make your country to your enemy there is no win. It will all end like it always end. But this time, the sea won't part because there's no other side left
>>157170151The entire stadium reeking of shit in 100 degree heat, players having to play around the massive piles of feces on the field... yeah, sounds real "interesting," Kumar.
>>157168617yeah sure
>>157168617>Among the investor groups, Thrive Eternal stands out, led by Josh Kushner, who is linked to Donald Trump's familyi think they earned it. They have put on the best world cup ever, they should do it every year and deserve the returns 100%.
Considering UEFA is the one that created this greedy Swiss monster, it's hard to take them seriously when they try to play the hero.
>>157168617This whole situation just sounds like>Americans are trying to own and rig soccer?>WTF we're the only ones allowed to do that!
That's what eurocucks get for crying about muh red card, Lmao
>>157170583what are you implying? UEFA is literally been carrying the World Cup since 2006. Infantino would unironically get killed if this goes through
>>157169092What do we need to do to get proper moderation here?
>>157169126>>157169156UEFA can invite teams to participate in the Euros and hold it every two years with 32 teams. Even if CAF and AFC don’t want to accept the invitations they can still invite New Zealand and the top 7 Sudaca teams. It will be a better wc than the 48/64 bullshit FIFA are going to provide
>>157168617maybe uragay and west falkalnds can add another * world cup to their list
>>157169126>>157169153personally I don't think the answer is ruining the euros too by adding non european countries
>>157172054Just make it a parallel competition between federations with participation weighted towards European football. Welcome back, Italy.
>>157172054How about a pure Euros every 4 years as it is now and also a Eurovision Soccer Contest also every 4 years including invitational teams? Basically a rebel world cup
>>157168617>it took just one shitmidas touch from the scammmer orange pedophile unAmerican to ruin the world cupI hate maga so much kill em all
Dont really mind if they do. Give the WC to the jews and the mutts and do Euros every two years.
Just do a Six Nations tournament, yearly or bi-yearly, with the teams that matter.>France>Germany>Spain>Portugal>Italy>Brazil
>>157169092(((obvious reasons)))
>>157169092>/pol/>moderatednigga what have you been smoking?
>>157171916>Infantino would unironically get killedNobody gets killed anymore. Germany's and Spain's leaders are opening borders for millions of orcs and don't get killed
>>157169153>The other 22 slots go to UEFA teams.There aren't 22 UEFA teams that are better than some of the non-UEFA teams not making the cut in the system you proposed. Columbia, Iran, Ivory Coast and Egypt are all better than Scotland, Wales, Serbia and Hungary who would make the cut if UEFA gets 22 slots.
>>157172445Let’s think about this, how many UEFA teams should be in a 32 team world championship?Fewer than 22, maybe 16
>>157168617>Josh Kushner, who is linked to Donald Trump's family.isn't he is son in law?
>>157172683He’s the brother of the son-in-law, Jared Kushner
>>157168617God I fucking hope so.What flag is that btw
>>157169554>everyone just watches the WC for European football anyway, Wrong, that would be Euros
>>157172395Presumably they delete all the doxxes and threats of terrorism
>>157169092why does that shithole full of lefty browns need so much moderation?
The steps will be>bribe FAs from shit hole nations to agree >say UEFA are colonialistsand FIFA will get what they want
This is all well and good, but let's say you were in charge of a billions dollar worth sporting organization, would you be less corrupt than Infantino if you look at how easily these people can enrich themselves?
>>157170151>India would be a fucking fantastic place to hold a WC.Yeah, because it would be a hilarious World Class disaster saars
>>157173073If UEFA can get Brazil and Argentina on board that could would be a huge to blow to this planInfantino is pretty much telling them he will depreciate the value of their wc achievements and compensating them with a misery ($40m) compared to all the money him alone would make every year (+60m)I don't see them accepting such a shit deal.
>>157173293I don't know about Brapzil but Argentina KNEELS to CONMEBOL and the president of CONMEBOL will do whatever the (((mutts))) want.
>>157173293Brazil and Argentina would definitely would be interested if the viewership and money is there. Between a competition with most world cup winners and a competition of hundreds of countries no one really cares about, the latter becomes very weak.
>>157168617It would be great if UEFA took a stance and I think they do have the cards to do it, but I don't think there'll be anything more than signaling to european fans that they don't agree with this.In the end they're still getting rich off the world cup, so taking a risk for their supposed integrity won't be worth it.
>>157168617Anyone winning this one would never be taken seriously. You would always be the team with an asterisk on your championship. Country X (2030*)* - the one no one takes seriously
>>157173317Conmebol is always at odds with Brazil
