Quite an interesting summary of FIFA.

FIFA is unfit to run a garbage dump, let alone world football. It reeks with the stench of bullying, blackmail, bribery, broken promises - and collusion with tyranny.

Peter Tatchell - it's in the link! I suspect that he may not agree with the choice of country for the world cup :)

Thanks. I don't as a rule click a link without an indication from it what, and who, it is representing. Hovering over it the only name highlighted was Harry Kane. Regardless it was obviously a media piece and not the original source hence my question.

Now you have provided the answer I am happy not to provide a response.

Ah, Tatchell. He who wanted the legal age of sexual consent for boys reduced to 14. I wouldn’t give much credence to any of his outbursts. Although I have to admit a certain admiration at his attempt to arrest Mugabe in Paris!

It must have been a slow news days at The Express, but it was quite funny.

I remember the Mugabe incident.
