This is not even mildly infuriating. This is total bullshit. Fifa is a bunch of greedy dick heads. No doubt there were bribes involved.

I forget he is still playing. He is completely irrelevant other than when he plays for Portugal.

He's pretty irrelevant when he's playing for them, too.

Full contact FIFA when? Mixing in a bit of NFL and NHL.
