I'd love to see an open and fair alternative to FIFA. They're not needed, or wanted, they're just parasites who cosy up with dictators and fuck with the game so they can grift as much money as possible.

There are few organisations as full of thieves from top to bottom as FIFA. I can really only think of the IOC, the Italian Mafia or the US government that are similarly structured.

Is this the Fifa that we want? I guess yes, because no is doing something.

Pretty justified reaction.
