That’s like asking some to go to a dance with their rapist.
Shall we get Russia and Ukraine too? Donald Trump and human decency? FIFA and anticorruption efforts?
This fucker gets worse every time he opens his mouth.
That sounds like a great idea. Maybe Johnny can combine it with the 2027 Peace Prize for Bibi Netanyahu?
The guy is on a mission on being crowned the most insufferable person in football history.
This guy is such a clown. Reportedly told the Iran dressing room after their draw with New Zealand not to worry about the incredibly unfair travel restrictions being enforced only on them because they "only have two games left". They aren't even close to being eliminated you stupid fuck. President of FIFA and he doesn't even understand the basics of how the sport works.
He understands the important part of international sporting events... Grift and bribery, the only thing that really matters.
I bet they are really sad that it is split over three countries that didn't need to spend billions on building new stadiums. They probably have a big hand in the construction contracts of stadiums for World Cup and this time they didn't have slave built stadiums in Qatar to funnel money out of.
His face when Qatar was getting smashed the other day was pretty funny. Looked very miserable.
