You're saying the sport that allows for near open bribery of it's top officials and has universally derided game refs is producing sketchy pairings? What were you guys expecting, I'm curious?
The Fifa is a corrupt fucking shit show and those old fucking assholes aren't even bothering trying to hide it.
That World Cup in Qatar made it so fucking obvious. All the reports showed that Qatar was the worst choice possible, safety issues, weather problems, the fact that it's the size of a small town, lacks infrastructure and has absolutly 0 soccer history all made it a terrible choice. But Blatter made a shitton of money and his son got a nice job there, so it's all good right?!
Now France gets saved , in the most shady way possible, because it's an important market to the FIFA and they want them to progress so they can feel better. I mean for fuck's sake they changed the rules last week or so, without any warning or approval from other agencies. Fuck the FIFA, Fuck Blatter, Fuck Platini.
