Emdog Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Good idea to hold conference in a country that has a snowballs chance in heck of getting into a world cup. Neutral ground and all that: "The Switzerland of world football." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Probably the most corrupt sports organization meets in Thailand. That fits to the atmosphere. Infantino from the same mountainous Swiss canton as his predecessor Blatter who is banned from the organization for proven cases of corruption. Infantino arrogant and corrupt like his predecessor in my opinion. Edited May 13 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
