I’m not sure on this one. Ceferin seemed really pissed at the end of the world cup with the whole situation… Maybe because they aren’t getting enough of the pie?
But considerin UEFA managed to kill the “super league” a few years ago, I’d imagine this has a bit of weight to it… Let’s see.
Honestly, football isn’t my thing but from the little reporting I saw UEFA (and others) came out swinging against this but the next day the tone was already considerably different.
The single fact that Infantino seems to have widespread support, also in Europe, for a third term to me basically tells the whole story. From the countries that were awarded the tournament in recent history, to the ‘Today I am’ speech, the FIFA Peace Prize, the influence from Trump… somehow that’s acceptable.
FIFA was incredibly corrupt, people got charged and somehow the next guy is even more corrupt.
I may have miscalculated this. Technically we’re still only at step 2 as I proposed it but with the North American and Asian equivalents of UEFA also against it, UEFA on a strike of sorts and people seemingly real mad at Infantino that might be the last step after all.
It’d be real funny if this caused the ouster of Infantino and he won’t even get a third term.
Still, I am not yet 100% convinced it won’t happen, or in some watered down version perhaps.

So yeah, I have little hope.
Fair!
Hrm…
