Michel Platini is to stand down as UEFA president after his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport failed to clear his name. He did however get his ban from football reduced from 6 years to 4 years.

with Infantino being recently quoted wanting to expand the world cup even further to 40 teams it will get the point when having a World Cup tournament will be meaningless I think then it would be better if teams could challenge the champions on a match by match basis. I think 16 or 32 for world cup finals is plenty enough and 40 would just saturate television for an entire summer!!

It now appears that FIFA has fined Germany and England for famous Christmas match in WW1 for being a "Political Statement" how much lower can these FIFA Idiots stoop? I would think they wouldn't dare throw us out with Scotland for wearing armbands with poppies next week & hope the German FA & England FA refuse to pay the fines as it was not a match organised by them but more a spur of the moment thing
Maybe we should have a referendum on our membership of FIFA and tie that in with our brexit talks!!

FIFA, made up of 211 member states, themselves do not make the rules of football, they enforce them but the rules are made by IFAB (International Football Association Board). FIFA has a 50% voting stake in IFAB, the other 50% is held by The FA, Scottish FA, Welsh FA and Northern Irish FA. The UK FA's have the same voting power as the other 207 FA's combined, it is also the case that no law can be passed without a super majority of 75% is reached so no law in football can be put in place without the UK's say so
The Law in question, Law 4 Paragraph 4, was proposed by The FA themselves in 2014 because footballers were wearing Nelson Mandela t-shirts following is death. So whilst the FA want to honour their heroes they were more than happy to make sure that South African footballers could not honour one of their national heroes. Though given the British establishments tacit approval of apartheid it's no surprise that an organisation that has been run by Lords in the past proposed a law on this basis. I will also note that today FIFA has charged Ireland with allowing their players to wear a symbol commemorating the 100th anniversary of The Easter Rising, seen in Ireland as a revolutionary act of freedom, I wonder how the FA et al will view that.
At the end of the day it boils down to this The FA proposed this law, The FA & SFA approved this law with their ridiculous voting advantage but now feel that they should be exempt from the law they themselves proposed and passed because now it affects them
What makes this all so stupid is that before 2006 poppies were not featured on football strips and yet we still found a way to honour our dead for the previous 88 years. It's almost as if the poppy is merely a symbol of remembrance and not the act itself. Mad I know

*******BREAKING NEWS*******
FIFA HAS NOW OPENED DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDING ON ENGLAND & SCOTLAND FOR DISPALYING POPPIES IN LAST WEEK'S WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS. What FIFA doesn't understand the players on both sides wanted to pay their respectsv tho se who gave their lives for our freedoms today, and I expect we will either be fined a ridiculous amount of money or have points deducted but if they went the extreme route and threw both teams out of the competition it would not surprise me if we quit FIFA altogether

^fifa understand perfectly well what the poppy represents. but it broke their rules, they have to act.
