It seems after mostly controlling FIFA during the last thirty years with clever powerplay CONMEBOL are losing out to UEFA and Platini.Uefa want everyone to adopt their calendar and the viejos of Leoz and Grondona are.powerless to stop it.For all their faults Havelange,Leoz,Grondona etc kept the Euroeans in check.Its.ironic now as the economic situation turns in our favour we dont have the young dirigentes to give South America the influence it needs in FIFA
