You've got Diana Ross missing the penalty kick and then the goal just falling in part.

And the idea was that was going to be the tip and point for football just taking over.

And it didn't.

And the MLS became like a substandard product, which is nowhere near on par with Europe.

And it's still the case, really.

I think this is...

one way, because if you look at the private equity funds which will likely be coming in, it's already Jared Kushner's private equity fund has been mentioned, Jared Kushner has ties to the White House.

So these things are, it used to be the seven degrees of Kevin Bacon, if you do this, it doesn't even have to be the seven degrees of Donald Trump now, it's usually the two or three degrees of Donald Trump.

So I just have

such deep reservations about what it is, why it's being done.

It doesn't have the need and the necessity.

There is no need for us to increase the World Cup to 64 teams, just as there is no need to sell 20% of this.

FIFA isn't in some kind of financial crisis.

As I said, as a business,

it's fantastic you've got no cost of sales really um and everyone else is paying to put stuff on for you and pandas to your every need and then you get to keep the commercial revenues when it comes in um but this is just seems like a blatant money grab from someone who has not built up a track record to give himself the credit to be trusted for it not to be a money grab

Well...

As you're touching them, there will be positive elements to it, because if the federations are getting more money to spend on their own grassroots game, and that 40 million euros goes a lot further in some countries than others, but how many times have we seen this kind of playbook in history?

Not just in football, where you...

you give generously to those who are the voters.

So think of Guinness, you know, as an example.
