Infantino wants a "franchise" system essentially. Luckily, football is not cricket. At least for the time being.

Hope they do. Could be a close run thing though.

Am not so sure Infantino won't get his way. He has the non-European nations in his pocket. If I understand correctly, simple numbers matter and there is no additional "weighting" given to Europe in terms of decision making.

If Europeans have the actual balls when it comes to the supreme sanctity of football related matters, they will proceed towards formal boycott of FIFA. I am in favour of such a boycott of course. But if it comes to that, will UEFA simply flake at the crucial moment?

Well. Surprisingly, UEFA do indeed have balls.

UEFA is the reason why Gianni in his position.
I'm sure 10000% the recent attacks on Gianni is because of Egypt vs Arg match, he got exposed so badly.
Fifa manager should be either Asian or African.

I recall laughing off your suggestion of a genuine boycott of FIFA a month back. I stand corrected!

I'm curious to see if Egypt might even join UEFA in this venture, albeit for a different underlying grievance?

We already filed a formal complaint against the referee and the VAR crew , not sure if we can or did file a complaint against Gianni.

However, UEFA seems pissed because they want money also , they ain't that innocent.
 
Infantino could be replaced by a Qatari as head of FIFA! Yuck.
