Never understood why the Western European clubs are so quick to bend over and take it up the arse from FIFA. Let's look at the power relationship here. Between England, Spain, France, Italy and Germany, the clubs own the contracts of almost all of the best players at the World Cup, and are well within their rights to prevent their players from playing there, legally speaking. I've never understood why they don't just threaten, in cooperation with their respective FAs, to refuse to release players for FIFA's tournaments until they make the whole thing transparent and get rid of that corrupt **** Blatter. Because what are FIFA really? A corporation who owns the intellectual property for the World Cup. That's it. But it's quite hard to use it without the players. The Formula One teams did it. I don't see why the football clubs don't. But then I guess they couldn't give a shit about the state of world football either, because most of them have been doing their best to fuck it up in the search for more profits.
