Gianni Infanculo aims to sell World Cup commercial rights

Mexico and Argentina back Infantino to deepen civil war

The Guardian - Sport

Matt Hughes



Mexico’s football federation has broken ranks with the rest of Concacaf by publicly backing the beleaguered Gianni Infantino in a move that has deepened world football’s civil war.

Concacaf has called for a thorough review of Fifa’s governance in the light of the World Cup sell-off debacle, and is backing Uefa’s demands for meaningful change, although has yet to follow its European counterparts by threatening to boycott tournaments if they do not achieve their objectives.

In a statement issued on Thursday night, the FMF went some way towards explaining Concacaf’s reticence, as its second-biggest member after the US was unequivocal in its support for the Fifa president. In a Fifa statement released under Infantino’s name on Wednesday, the world governing body had called for its institutional practices to be respected, a coded way of condemning any leadership challenge before next March’s scheduled presidential election, which the FMF endorsed.

“The Mexican Football Federation is convinced that football is its fundamental value and that its best defence lies in institutional integrity and respect for the governance and processes that safeguard it,” the FMF said. “Therefore, the FMF will not recognise or approve any process convened outside of this institutional framework, and it embraces the call issued by president Infantino on 5 August 2026 to collectively continue developing football for the benefit of its 211 member associations.

“The FMF supports president Infantino’s leadership in continuing to promote the development of football through institutional strengthening.”

The Argentina Football Association (AFA) followed Mexico’s lead by backing Infantino in a gushing tribute and expressing support for his leadership over the past decade. Unlike Concacaf, South America’s Conmebol appears united behind Infantino, while in an intriguing subplot there is growing speculation that Mexico would like to switch confederations to join the latter.

“In relation to the recent events that are public knowledge, we must recognise the decision of the administration to withdraw a project that generated, within the football family and from its inception, many more uncertainties than certainties,” the AFA statement read.

“That is why it is worth highlighting the acceptance of the errors made in this process and the apology expressed in the heartfelt message displayed to the 211 member associations of Fifa. Prioritising governance standards is a fundamental pillar for strengthening good relations between Fifa, its member associations and the confederations.

“You are leading a management that led to a profound transformation of Fifa, which opened the doors of the organisation to all member associations and confederations, so that with a frank and direct dialogue, we can, together, continue to promote football at all levels and disciplines.

“This transformation was based on a model of transparent governance, respect for statutory structures and the monitoring of democratic procedures, essential principles for the football family to be united, firm and working to continue generating improvements in sports and institutions, which have an impact on a better quality of life for millions of human beings who practise our beloved sport.

“Accordingly, with the upcoming Fifa congress approaching, the association that we proudly preside over firmly believes and reaffirms that the way forward is to continue to work under your leadership, so that we can continue to develop better and even more inclusive football.”

Word is King Charlie is a lizard person too, but strictly on weekdays. Weekends he reverts to full human so he can potter around his Highgrove Estate talking to the plants without the gardeners getting suspicious about the forked tongue....

Apparently the rest of the royal bloodline went fully human years ago for the tax benefits, but Charles kept the scales because the cold-blooded lifestyle comes with free solar heating and a lifetime supply of crickets from the Buckingham Palace kitchens.

You do realise that the sausage fingers are a tell. Apparently the regenerate overnight and have bile and human baby's blood injected into them by Camilla first thing in the morning. I tell you those lizard reckoners are on to something.

Many of the facts we know today began as conspiracy theories...

They feast on their own sausage fingers for sustenance. Humans are delicacies. They live on the outer edge of the plane underneath the alien made tunnels in Antarctica. They bend light to deceive us soylents into thinking we live on a sphere. Sausage fingers are the tell. I've actually heard some fellows spout these theories

I had a student in class state he's adamant Elon Musk is from Mars and he wasn't even joking.
 
Lizards like to bake in the sun like this good looking Strayan water dragon.

Now rhere is no sun in the old blighty so none of those European types can be lizards.

Yes I'm mocking the shit out of any special human who believes this nonsense.

FIFA's recent press release is very much like what we see from the Trump organisation. Not sure how we will get the change we need if we keep with the status quo and the current way things are.
