After watching Panorama late last night, It's probably best to have as little to do with FIFA as possible.Sepp Blatter, his predecessor and co have been mafia like mob for years, they all have dubvious pasts and frankly this country should have little to do with such organisations. THe IOC is not much better. Lord knows what will come out in the wake of the Olympics. The England bid was by far the best bid (even if the chances of the team doing well are small) but clearly the fact that so few voted for it shows one thing, that the FIFA members are rattles and that always reveals one thing, they have something to hide.A lot of criticism for the BBC showing this Panorama investigation before the selection but in hindsight it was probably right. We cannot be accused of being bad losers or sour grapes.Time to set up a new world football association with a tight open constitution, we still may not win a tournament or get to host it but at least it would not be the money tainted racket FIFA has become.
