CONCACAF federations have met to discuss the new FFE initiative and reached a unanimous rejection of the proposal

CONCACAF is a “no” on Infantino’s FFE proposal — meaning 96 of the 211 federations with a vote are against

The “no” camp only needs to peel off 10 more votes from the rest of the world to have a majority.

CONCACAF statement does propose paths forward that do not involve FFE. https://t.co/aI3HWNcYyS

Damn...

🇮🇹 Falleció Franco Baresi.

Jugó en Milan durante 20 años, disputando 719 partidos y siendo Il Capitano de los míticos equipos de Sacchi y Capello.

Ganó 6 Scudettos, 3 Champions, y fue campeón del mundo con Italia en 1982, entre otros titulos.

Lmao he doesn’t like that entire confederations are sticking together and is now trying to buy out the head of each nation’s federation under the guise of “autonomy”

The clown is actually moving forward with a 64 team tournament. I guess it’s fair to say that we won the last true Mundial. A 32 team tournament that had it all.

What’s the point of qualifiers if 64 teams are gonna play at this tournament? Might as well use the Oprah gif/meme where she is pointing at people and saying “You’re going to the Mundial! You’re going to the Mundial…. We’re all going to the Mundial!!!!!!”

Apparently JP Morgan has ditched the idea. The idea has seemingly died. Now the bald fraud will likely not win re-election.

That’s good, but tbh it’ll probably just come back in a different form, under a different name, and with a different presentation to the public..

“We are being taxed by the US government through Fifa for our participation. Money that should go to players and staff,” he added.

“This ⁠was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and ⁠Mexico. But we happened to be in the USA so now we face these huge costs in taxes for having participated.”
