Dr. Gonzo Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I'm sure they're considering it the same way UEFA clubs were considering wearing that armband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted November 23, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted November 23, 2022 Doubt anything will come out of it. Anyway, the most depressing part was reading that the current FIFA president has statements of support from 207 football associations out of 211, and is standing unopposed for the next election.

A lot of smaller nations, especially ones not in UEFA, are absolutely in favour of his plan to increase the size of the world cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reluctant Striker Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Any alternate to FIFA has to be literally setting up its new & improved alternate. And has everyone involved. We can't have a World Cup A & World Cup B. Or I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be wrong here, but something tells me it's not the smaller non UEFA federations, who're the cow to milk for FIFA. In other words, I doubt FIFA can finance themselves without the contribution of the UEFA federations, to be frank. Edit: And the sponsor's money coming acquired because of their participation, of corse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I think a breakaway from FIFA might not be the worst thing in the world. I also think for as long as FIFA own the World Cup… I don’t think I can take statements threatening a serious protest too seriously. But I do think this is PR and also Denmark & other UEFA nations wanting to look like they’re still standing up for their values after backing down on the protest armbands. It will probably give UEFA a bit more leverage, which tbh it should always have, over FIFA in the future… but I can’t see this seriously going anywhere.

If Germany get eliminated it will be another "Germany spit the dummy out the crib" scenario. It reminds me of that kid that doesn't like how things are going so he picks up his ball and leaves.
