Cantona on FIFA

Eric Cantona: Fifa’s corruption divides Brazilian football from its roots

Just back from making a documentary in Rio, the Frenchman has a jaundiced view of the governing body’s modus operandi

jaundiced? it's not jaundiced. fifa is corrupt and blatter is a crook.

there will soon come a point where no country wants the world cup. it's too expensive and the hosts and its citizens are not allowed to make money from it, so why bother?

 

Why can't they make money from it?

 

Cantona is absolutely correct, FIFA are slowly killing our game while top officials are getting very rich. He understands football, loves the game and can't be touched by these FIFA crooks because he is independent.
Well done to him, its time more people came out and spoke the truth. Quatar for gods sake !!!

 

I'd like to see Cantona as president of FIFA. Even if he is French.

 

I know he played for the whiteshite and Man Ure. But he was a legend as a player.

 

I have loved Cantona, this just makes me love him more. Doubt anything will be done mind as Blatter and his poxy crew just don't care

 

Cantona was/is a trucculent, irresponsible, unstable and moody Gallic turd and would be hopeless in the job.

It's a dreary, demanding desk job that requires a skillset unknown to Eric.
