Eckert 'surprised' by Garcia comments. Judge Eckert said 'much of my 42 page report was a direct quote of Garcia's findings (whos report was over 400 pages long). Anyone speak german? Does 'much' in german translate to fk all?
I speak German and can confirm that much translates to "viel", not f

So what's the down side if Greg Dyke tells FIFA to 'do one'?
England misses the World Cup? Well boo-bloody-hoo. As if we could win it.
Will England fans REALLY miss a couple of weeks in an Allah-forsaken Shariah sand pit?
Without the other major nations doing the same. It would bankrupt English club football. Think no foreign players? FIFA would respond by imposing playing bans on all players playing in non-FIFA sanctioned competitions. All the top players would leave.England misses the World Cup? Well boo-bloody-hoo.

Just about sums it, the English are pariahs.
We stand up for what is right, yet the Scots hate us because they do; the Argies hate us because of the Falklands; the Spanish hate us because of Gib; we feel the hate during every Eurovision song contest because it's just not fashionable to vote for us; the EU don't like us because we didn't join the Euro and are doing quite well out of it; the French blame us for all the immigrants at Calais and would secretly like Jersey and Guernsey back, and it's quite clear FIFA don't like us because we don't play the bribery game.
Not feeling the love at the minute. fk 'em all and fk FIFA.

The only way England can leave FIFA is if UEFA leaves FIFA, FIFA couldn't continue to run a world cup without any European nations.
So basically England, Germany, Spain, Italy agree its game over for FIFA & it will be. bad company said:

Yes that would work but as far as I can see none of the associations are even talking about such action.
It's the early days since this farce of a report so I can well imagine there will be lots going on behind the scenes before a possible united front is presented.

So if this back handed World cup is moved to the winter! will the Champions League be cancelled ?? surely that's worth almost as much, who would compensate the teams, sponsors ???
I think there's usually a break in the CL from the group stages to the knockout phase. That said, player burnout/injuries would be a fear.hornetrider said:

This! Can you imagine the clubs being happy allowing their $50M players running the risk of serious injury and burn out. I can't see it.
I don't know how they will manage it. They will basically have to suspend all national leagues for what - 6 weeks as a minimum? More likely 2 months to give the national sides a bare minimum of training camp time. I don't see where they would be able to make that time back, and how they will come to a uniform agreement across all the world federations, let alone all the individual national leagues. It will take one hell of a lot of horsetrading and bargaining, with most likely lots of brown envelopes involved. A FIFA forte.
