>Uefa has called an emergency meeting of their 55 members for Thursday afternoon to discuss a coordinated response to Gianni Infantino’s plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors, with a European boycott of Fifa tournaments among the options under consideration.>Uefa’s initial condemnation of Fifa’s plan to “sell the soul” of football has received strong backing from Concacaf – the North Central American and Caribbean confederation – and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and if their members follow their lead there should be sufficient votes to block the proposal.>Those three confederations alone comprise 143 of the 211 Fifa members, but unanimity is not guaranteed, as was made clear when Czechia became the first European association to back the plan.>Several sources have told the Guardian that creating a new commercial entity – Fifa Forward Enterprise – and selling a 20% stake to investors would necessitate a change of Fifa statutes, which requires a 75% majority that would be much harder to obtain
it's not enough, infantino has to go
>we europeans have strong opinions about the integrity of soccer and the world cup after replacing all our national ethnic players with african mercenariesESUCHEN.
>>157177095KWAB
>>157177095The bald fuck needs to be removed.
>>157177184Why do you care?
>>157177213hate arrogant peoplehate hypocriteshate arrogant hypocritical people glad you're being replaced
>>157177226
Why did Baldfantino even try this. It's like some all-in move in poker
>>157177184....esuchen?
We Evropeans will save football
>>157177329He would be head of the new company and his wages are estimated to increase 10x, thats why he is doing this.
>>157177095>Czechia became the first European association to back the planDoesn't look like it anymore
>>157177329didn't FBI do some investigation recently? They say it was into Argentine FA but surely it was to get some shit on people within FIFA to apply pressure
argentina riggi o algo
>>157177113JFK style
>>157177095>shit the bed during the WC>try to grab as much cash before you're shown the door>get caught with your hand in the till>even your turdie clients tell you they're not saving your asshe is deep shit now, I wonder what the next step of his master plan is gonna look like
>>157177493Likely cuck or sell it to arabs
>>157177508>sell it to arabsThat was already his plan though. To them and the jews. For it to happen FIFAs statutes need to be changed and that requires a vote of over 75%, which looks very unlikely if the 3 above federations were to unite.
>>157177508Not worth buying if no one wants to play ball.
>>157177329he's feeling himself after appearing on TV every day for a month
i wonder what the billionaire south african will choose to do hmmm
>>157177113dude they might sack the whole tournament if this gets passed
>>157177113he's Trump compromised, who knows what they've got on po' Jonny? Won't go willingly, will require an Assisted Exit.
>>157178028His position is untenable. He can't stay in the role. He's clearly corrupt, self serving and a threat to the sport
To be honest if its true AFC + CONCACAF + UEFA have opposed this deal if it goes through CONMEBOL Infantino's position as leader is untenable anymore. CAF and OFC are pretty corrupt but the OFC definitely needs more funding
>His position is untenable. He can't stay in the role. He's clearly corrupt, self serving and a threat to the sport
Has anyone else felt the vibe shift lately? Feels like everything is breaking down and no one cares. Is this how it feels like before they start WW3?
>>157178059>He's clearly corrupt, self serving and a threat to the sportyes well, he's Head of FIFA, that was pretty much the job description. I'd agree, the baldy piece of garbage has leant way too far out the window now with his 'vote for me or no cash' shit tho. Even a FIFA President can overdo the chucking bananas around stuff. But theres no obvious opposition candidate either.
>>157178091Yeah GermanBro. I’ve noticed this in the past 18. Everything is just collapsing, hobbies (vidya for example) are being ruined, this sport is another example. Something just doesn’t feel right. Shit is getting expensive AND worse and people are just…taking it. It’s insane.I thought that WWIII would be in the UK trying to fight off the Muslims but atp I don’t even know what’d be. Probably the Jews getting fed up with people not kneeling to their big noses and doing some shit blatantly.
>>157178091One of my cats also hates those kind of blinds
Infantino weirdly enough didn't grow up in an upper middle class background or have a family in a position of power. So I'm not surprised he's greedy for money anyone who grew working class or poor who's in a position of power and status always acts like that
>>157178091a lot have. if Argentina actually won the world cup I would have looked more into that prediction sheet that was getting posted here predicting wwIII which would cancel the next 3 world cup events
>>157178188extremely disingenuous comments
>>157178188>>157178091There will never be a World War 3 because of Nuclear Deterrence.
>>157178106>no obvious opposition candidateThat's always been a bit strange hasnt it. What even qualifies someone as a good candidate, because they always seem to be thin on the ground. But we can't have bald dr evils running the sport, because we can't find someone to replace him. Replace him with a board or something. Why even have one individual, make it a collective.
>>157178091>>157178188It'll be Judgement Day soon enough with AI taking over.
>>157177113True fpbp
>>157178200>He fell for the nuke scam
>>157178091After covid nobody gives a shit anymore
>>157178220Unironically giving it to big sam until the end of the cycle is an upgrade
>>157177329Performative outrage so no one gets mad when UEFA does the same thing in a few years for "the growth and love of football"
>>157178359Nobody ever did. Where was the opposition to the Patriot Act or the 5 eyes?
>>157177493He’s dead after this. The word is that he came out with this without even informing the vice president of fifa, who is also the chair of the English FA. This proposal is going to get steamrolled by players, fans and the FAs, and when he loses the vote in September I think there’s going to be a new candidate put forth for the march election.
>>157177329He's breaking his arm jerking himself off, after getting praised by trump, and now he wants to turn into emperor fifas
>>157178438he was installed. he works for these people. he was tasked with getting the world cup to america, making sure the host sites went to the right owners, and now getting private capital their taste.
It's over.
>>157178199How is what he said disingenuous ?
>>157178188>WWIII would be in the UK trying to fight off the MuslimsImagine still being this retarded and zogged in 2026
>>157177095USA's association joining Europe to block TrumpKushner from taking Fifa is going to be so fucking funny
>>157178521Tbf I think Concacaf doesnt really see a positive from his proposal, most of the money doesnt dwarf what they already get from FIFA. If anything this short term cash influx will line up only the accounts of FIFA themselves.
>>157178521>>157178565yeah any sizable federation in terms of money sees this as simply a crappy deal.I'm not gonna pretend UEFA or whoever is less greedy or less corrupt, but they should simply reject it because it sucks for them lol. Unless you're some thirdie shithole, you dont give a shit about the lump sum. You want the influence to be kept within FIFA, not some random new company.The head of US soccers (or Germany, France, Brazil, whatever) doesnt give a shit about getting a million or three, the head of the Kiribati FA might.
>>157178496time to go back paco
>>157178496He was installed by the US as revenge for Blatter snubbing the US
>>157177095Reminder CONMEBOL also favored Messi a fuck ton so it's unlikely they will join unless all the other 9 teams besides VARgentina pressures them to
>>157178645take meds schizo
>>157178645Ah yeah, the US who is already siding with UEFA and saying this deal is shit lol
>>157178188>people are just…taking it. It’s insane.In the absence of a disaffected counter-elite who can actually present a real alternative to the status quo (for example, the Founding Fathers), the normalfag masses throughout history have always "just taken it." This is nothing new or profound.
UEFA moved firstI would like non-European flags on /sp/ to do two things: 1) apologise and 2) thank EVROPE for literally saving football
>europe is saving footbal-ACK
>>157178668CONCACAF is not "the US". They are the soccer federation for North America. Infantino represents the interests of the Trumps, the Kushners, the Krafts, the Epsteins, the Wexners, the Tischs.
>>157177481Romanov style
>>157178747If the whole confederation is backing it like UEFA is backing it then that includes the US association, which also does not represent those you listedUS along with the other CUM countries are the driving force for that confederations moves, those other minnows in the administration would be more likely to take 40 million with no question. That means CUM is against this
le funny faced orange man is finally getting on my nerves. stay in your fucking country and milk your shitty sports. don't touch an actual beautiful competition invented by civilized people
>>157177113>CONCACAF>joining UEFAI doubt it. The US of A controls CONCACAF and this move is being pushed by them through Infantino
>don't touch an actual beautiful competition invented by civilized peopleblacker than the nba
>>157178668>>157178655That's what happened, the FBI decapitated FIFA with a fake corruption scandal and installed their guy.
>>157178798>FakeYou have to be a special kind of retarded if you think the current guy was the first dude to be corrupt ever leading FifaAlso this was your candidate. >On 26 October 2015, he received the backing of the UEFA Executive Committee to stand for the position of president in the 2016 FIFA Extraordinary Congress. The US did not even vote for him first round, their preferred candidate was Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein and only moved for second round after it was clear he was not winning. This was never their preferred guy.
>>157178980This is for >>157178878 but also relates I guess to who it was replied to
>>157178784this whole cashgrab isn't thought through.rotw understands perfectly, football was always the latter of 'Bread & Circuses'. Now, these fucking Hebrews are trying to take over the Circus. It doesn't work like that, never has, and they have patently No Fucking Idea of the amount of global-scale shit they are stirring themselves up here.
>>157177095>concacaf since when did they care about corruption or greed ruining the sport? Same with the Arab bought out AFC
>Now, these fucking Hebrews are trying to take over the Circusyou're already been conquered nigelsit down and learn your place
>>157179049>53% white kikeslave telling others they're conqueredcan't make this shit up
>>157178655>>157178668He means the US government not their federation. Its just a fact that FIFA got investigated and Blatter removed after they got snubbed for the world cup and then Infantino was put in charge.
>>157179095250k and nothing doneliterally raped and conquered
>>157178798But if CONCACAF is already being reported against this then that direction is the US association is against this, no?They are not a controlled entity for Trump the way Infantino is buddying up because he wants to funnel billions to himself. They are entirely independent from the government so they can and will make decisions that are against what he would want.
>>157179116>t. was 56% white over a decade ago, has the means to fight back, is required by the constitution to fight back, but lacks the balls and that's why the only two places his "2A" will be used is at a range or a schoolNo reason to do a gungrab if your country is full of cowards.
is the racist burger troll the same guy as the "this is actually good for non-western countries" troll?
Still can't believe Blatter was actually the good guy. I fucking apologize for once
>>157177226So much self-hate isn't healthy
>>157177095Ok, I think game is over for him. There is no way for him to convince a majority of the members, thus this plan will never pass.I genuinely think he will be kicked out of FIFA in no more than 3 months.
>>157177095it's insane this was ever proposed. it makes me nervous for the future though. is this sort of thing an inevitability?
What surprises me the most is CONMEBOL silence.
>>157177941Could Egypt join AFC due to the Sinai being in geographically in Asia?
>>157183613They can, geography doesn't really matter much to FIFA as long as the rest of the members approve it. The problem is the AFC has its own problems, like the oil arabs basically controlling the whole thing. Even Japan got tired of them it wants to create its own thing but with East Asia/SEA members.
>he was the good guy all alongI didn't expect this plot twist
>>157183830He tried to warn us, but we didn't listen..
>>157177329in 4 years he retires forever and wants a big bank account
>>157178773Mary Kelly style
I hope this results in a splitting/fracturing of the international post-war institutions as we move into a new world where unipolar authority is no longer the norm. We don't need a world cup anyway. The Euros should just become the new world cup.
>>157177226Why are you pretending to be opposed to the Africanisation of Europe and then immediately say that you're glad it's happening? Which is it?
>>157183927No one deserves that
>>157177095is this the year where UEFA becomes the world cup organizer?
>>157177213he's american, american want to own parts of fifa so he's shilling for it to happen, just ignore american flags
>>157177329he'd get richer and it will give him another nice job after he retires from his fifa duties, probably some thing at the UN
>>157177334It’s weird when someone is obviously new to /sp/. “Escuchen” is the first word in a racist song sung by the Argentinian football team in the 2022 World Cup. If you weren’t there for that, why on Earth have you started coming here now?
>>157178091Nothing ever happens. Things have been feeling like this since 2008. Nobody can stop these greedy psychopaths from continuing to do this.
>>157177226The only people for this are random shitholes including African ones where they'll funnel 39 of those millions into their personal mansions
>>157178200Until people stop giving a fuck and realising they're just weapons too. People thought the same about machine guns and tanks.
>>157183608It shouldn't
>>157178059Show me a single football higher-up that isn't corrupt and rotten to his core
>>157185130Argentine obsession isn't much a thing outside of tourist. Don't be the tourist telling the New Yorker where to get the best slice in the city
>>157185130Ive been on this board since 2004If I ever heard about this, I've forgotten it
>>157185923actually scratch that, it's more like 2008I'm old, I get confused
>>157177226>you're being replacedYou are the one replacing people with eternal middle east war while getting replaced by mexicans and cubans
>>157177329Same reason Vince Mcmahon sold WWE to the jews
>>157183608Trump bribe everyones except Brazil and Lula and braziltrump has been ignoring football for decades
>>157177493Crashing this plane...
>>157178980Blatter Innocent
I like how one spamming ameriflag is destroying their reputation
>>157186033Not the same situation. Vince sold the WWE because he already had so much shit thrown at him the WWE was already losing its reputation so he had to save face and get whatever he could from that sell. Also he was basically the sole owner of the WWE, while Infantino doesn't own FIFA. Hell, FIFA is supposed to be a non-profit organization.
>>157185291a bit of a difference between your neighbour sending tanks over the border, and an anonymous sub popping up near your coast and firing a dozen ballistic missiles at your capital, each carrying a dozen nuclear warheadsnot that there's been even one single hot war between major powers since ww2, conventional or otherwise
Baldfantinobros...Kushnersisters...
>>157186173
>>157186184It's real
>>157183608Why? Most corrupted continent of course supports this
>>157177184>we americans have strong opinions about the demographics of europe despite being a minority white israeli vassal state
>>157186115Its so funny how he kept spamming the board yesterday saying shit like "you will do nothing" only for UEFA to now do the exact thing I said they would: total boycott of the next world cup
>>157186115>What reputation?Anyway probably a VPNfag to be honest, if someone is being that obvious trolling
>>157185315The president of the Japanese FA
>>157186350>Thing, Japan: :0
>>157178682sorry Nigel, Brexit means Brexit
>>157179155US and Canada have their own private equity deals. Despite this being a possibly significant payout it will constrain and limit future revenue as FIFA and its private equity super friends would squeeze more and more. Not to mention increased tournaments for FIFA means increased cost to national teams. The US already hardly cares about most of the CONCACAF tournaments anyway, but would still likely be obliged to field teams in whatever is cooked up.
>>157177095Dead in the water you hideous bald goblin
people criticising this know nothing, making the world cup more commercially viable would have been a boon to all federations
Well, more good reasons to abandon that crap that is football/soccer.Are there any alternative sports to replace soccer/football for me, sports without a presence in Islamic countries, that nobody plays in Muslim countries, and that are totally dominated by the West?
>>157186854>it isn't already a corporate shill fest of slopLOL OK BUDDY
>>157186854Nah, fuck off, have you seen the MLS? Because that's how you end in the same situation.
>>157186854Imagine thinking the problem with football is there's not enough money.
>>157186854but everyone even remotely following the sport knows that even national FAs, let alone continent federations, are at best completely incompetent at worse literal mafiosos
>>157186910or adding more people in to syphon off even more of the money.
>>157186854Are you really this upset that you're not good enough to qualify for the world cup any more that you want to ruin it for everyone?
>>157186854do you understand that extra money will be coming out of your pocket?
>>157177113Dude has been in charge for like ten years, which is at least 4 too many.
>>157177113He bent to knee to the jews for money. A story as old as time. He must go>the snake offers the apple once more and a fucktard takes it
>>157183608lmao CONMEBOL has accepted to host 3 games in the next World Cup, which will prevent us from hosting another one for God knows how long. They are the most corrupt organization around
>>157186022He is the Mexican anon
>>157186854does the deal come with a guarantee you get to play in the next world cup?
>>157178504>son, I'm crine...
>>157187290they will get more. Spain and Portugal are about to lose their hosting rights out of this shitstorm.
I mean if there is widespread opposition it will FIFA was lose the vote anyway. It wasn't just UEFA opposing it and still losing the vote because the shit tier associations would back it. Looks like it would fail to get the numbers to pass. So likely FIFA will have to dump the plans or at least change them enough to get those votes back.
>>157186854Because big sponsors start calling the shots or they pull out would be such a good development, right?
>>157187794lmao, none of the south americans have enough stadiums to host the whole thing
>>157187794What do you mean, "lose". They along the other 55 FAs have decided to boycott the next WC, the better word would be "forfeit". It will be interesting to see if Marocco will have enough stadiums by then that meet the WC requirements
>>157177184escuchen*, americano
>>157177329got surrounded by the wrong people, made a swing for the jackpot
>>157177329He is going to have to retire at some point. With a new organization he would remain in control as long as he likes
>>157191363UEFA has said they will boycott UNLESS FIFA change their plans. This is UEFA we are talking about here, an org that already sold off the club competition in Europe. then you have the likes of the FA which oversaw the Premier League been created. So does anyone really think FIFA won't just make it more appealing for UEFA and so they get a bit more say in things rather than FIFA try to buy the votes of the third world and expand that way?
>>157191505No, they said they will boycott unless FIFA scraps its plans to sell it to private investors, which this is about.
>>157191363>Morocco will host the world cup consisting of CAF and Oceania.
>>157191518>it's planyeh another plan is there waiting with UEFA getting more of the cake. UEFA are more corrupt than FIFA. Remember that FIFA has put it to a vote which if it's unpopular wont win anyway. UEFA won't be breaking away from the World Cup and FIFA won't get their current plan through. But UEFA know that another plan will, so UEFA tried the hard tactics approach against FIFA who offered bribes for votes. FIFA soften the proposal, give UEFA more money and influence (maybe more places in a 64 WC) and suddenly the vote goes thru. Only morons think UEFA will be boycotting a WC. The same morons actually think FIFA will back down and call everything off. This is all about negotiation, UEFA had to do what it only could, FIFA won't be able to get their current plans thru the vote anyway.
>>157191637UEFA would love to break way from FIFA precisely because it would be better for them. If there's some "just cause" that would make the big hitters of SA, NA and Asia join a new world football organisation planned under UEFA, boy, there are all sorts of things they would change.
>>157186854Good goy.
>>157186854shalom
>>157177095>as was made clear when Czechia became the first European association to back the plan.Kek. The same Czechia that immediately went back on that after a stern talking-to from UEFA and distanced themselves from their own president spouting that shit?
>>157191637American private equity and a corrupt fifa, trying to sell the fifa world cup out. Monetary value unknown. Zero control. But what we do know is what americans do to sport, what they do to sports teams, how they treat fans, and what their objectives are. Who was financing the super league, that lead to champions league reform?.......Who is controlling the agenda in the premier league?We have to get americans out of football, and out of our societies. They're absolute scum.
>>157191672>make the big hitters of SA [...] join a new world football organisationArgentina would never dare go against Infantino. Not only because he gifted them a world cup and keeps rigging it for them, but because they literally have too much dirt on one another. They go agaist Infantino and a mutual destruction is guaranteed.
>>157191672You do realise that FIFA is just an org that was developed the same way as UEFA was? FIFA is really an org that binds all the football orgs together with the WC used to do so. The WC isn't even that important to most fans, it lasts a month and everyone forgets about it for four years. UEFA however don't want their cabal hurt by money being invested there instead of in the likes of the PL which is full of oil clubs and kike clubs along with other oddballs with questionable incomes. So ultimately what UEFA want to do is to stop FIFA from pulling to much influence from UEFA, UEFA actually want the opposite done. That is where the negotiation behind closed doors happens, not the shit talked on social media. Doesn't any anon on spee know how politics and business works?
>>157191731The WC was sold out years ago. Selling shares in it for investors who know the WC value will go up in the future is ironically how local football would work with people owning the club by investing. Of course it's 20% and it's investment funds, venture capital, probably BlackRock appearing. What FIFA could; of course do is offer shares to the football federations like UEFA as well. So cut that 20% to say 10% and offer an initial 10% shares with the money on top as well that they promised. Does anyone really think UEFA and FIFA are at a crossroads and no one is going to talk until FIFA backs down? lolz
>>157191851I just lost 100 iq points reading this.
>>157186373I'm not wrong tho
>>157192147You mean the Japanese Princess? Yeah maybe.
>>157186022get with the times paco, they're getting flooded by indians now
>UEFA goon ruins the world cup so UEFA can gain more power with its own notWorld Cuptruly the worst timeline
>>157177095>>Those three confederations alone comprise 143 of the 211 Fifa members, but unanimity is not guaranteed, as was made clear when Czechia became the first European association to back the plan.Lmao, fuck off. They already backtracked the moment there was a whiff of dissent. Not even backstabbing Slavs can back FIFA on this. They would be siding with them against all of UEFA, just imagine fucking that.
>>157194175lmao, more like when will CONMEBOL stop sucking Infantino's dick. The World Cup will end just being Copa America + some African guests
>>157179034>CONCACAFThey arr annoyed no one was consulted on this more then anything they want details and more explanation since infantino woke up and decided to drop this plan >AFCNo one knows as it stands it's look like Asians are against it but Arabs may if they are also allowed to invest
>>157194359>Blames ComenbolYou should see what your federation released tonight lol you betrayed CONCAF not even in a day
>>157177329Too much bazófia.
>>157187794"Losing" this shitshow of a WC 2030 that is hosted through six countries and three continents is no loss at all. FIFA needs to fuck off.
>>157187794They already got disappointed once Morocco joined the bid. They won't even be mad.
>>157194416Majority of AFC stands with concacaf and UEFA
>>157186854stai zitto handicappato
>>157183608The oposite, i believe conmebol will follow fifa
>from behind the curtains, betting funded rigging to explicit riggingI don't see the problem with it
There are probably two things to note>Infantino's position is untenable >If he presses ahead with the vote UEFA, CONCACAF, AFC have enough votes to defeat it. >The corrupt CAF (Africa) and CONMEBOL (South America) won't be able to cash in their bribes on this occasion.
>>157183927>>157178773>>157177481Junko Style
>>157199420OFC will tip the scales.
>>157199381Why arent they saying anything in support the? Are they just waiting for a deus ex machina moment and break silence only when they're sure to win? If they openly support Infantino, they might get some rogue FAs to rally behind them instead of hiding away
>UEFA against it so much they are boycotting world cup if it goes ahead >CONCACAF and AFC both opposing the plans too>CAF holding talks next weekWhy have only CONMEBOL and OFC remained totally silent? What are they thinking?Are we going to end up with a Bolivia Vs Vanuatu quarter finals in Morocco?
>>157199622They aren't going to have a world cup if UEFA clubs don't give their players permission to participate.
>>157199622Argentina wants another world cup.
I'm honestly surprised Guatemala and Nicaragua haven't outright accepted infantino's offer
>>157199515Fuck off, let her rest
>>157199674Knowing them they'd probably say something like>"Not our fault all the 'big' countries decided to quit. This is our victory >Wins 5-0 against Somalia Thank god Spain won brutally to establish the pecking order of legitimacy
This whole ordeal is just bread and circus for yuros
