@timmyvoe @HandsomePlant @TegoSigel Of course, that’s why we play & watch footy 😍 hopefully in my lifetime. That being hilarious to you says enough about you

@433_CM @HandsomePlant @TegoSigel Awwww were you hoping Sri Lanka would make it to the world cup 🤣🤣🤣

It’s so funny that FIFA thought it had this power To sell international football, which exists because clubs who pay player wages allow their employees to participate, to private investors who will reap the benefits of that labour Scumbaggery on an almost unforeseeable scale

@Deanooo1990 @burkebcn @USMNTfanatics16 It’s impossible to sell shares of FIFA, what are you talking about? It was a business proposal that he rightly brought to the vote of the member nations. UEFA is big mad the information didn’t leak through to them 😂

@burkebcn @USMNTfanatics16 Oh you mean how Infantino didn’t tell anyone about selling shares of FIFA.. didn’t even tell his top advisors 😂🤦🏻

What a difficult choice between FIFA and UEFA. One wants to involve more countries but destroy the sport. The other wants to preserve the sport but keep it for a small European elite and like a spoiled child force everyone else to adapt to its wishes.

@TikaBgewd @GeauxGabrielle This a porn bot acc. It will post anything for attention

@GeauxGabrielle The problem is you believe just anything instead of doing your own self education and be believing that you can’t be smart enough to learn on your own

My brother died of COVID in 2021. These people did absolutely everything they could but healthcare staff cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility. Not his.

@Darkpoolballer @TegoSigel @FIFAcom “nothing to table” is ridiculous & political opinion. The growth of the game is directly in the investors benefit. If you believe the demand for football by fans is inelastic, so all the revenue will be generated by extorting them - that should make you worry about UEFA more.

I get your point. FIFA is selling a stake in the commercial side to private investors who will then push hard to grow the revenue because they get a cut of the upside. What you don’t get is that they bring almost nothing to the table except ownership of a already-guaranteed money-printing business. The investment is being led by Thrive Eternal, run by Joshua Kushner, Jared Kushner’s brother who is Trump’s son-in-law. The only positive is having Greg Maffei, ex ceo Liberty Media/F1 , as commercial adviser, but you don’t need to hand over equity to hire him. This is literally a money grab by Trump adjacent people.

@Darkpoolballer @TegoSigel @FIFAcom You ignore the difference between profitable and maximizing growth. If FIFA can split the governing & commercial while retaining control of commercial then it is a valid proposal. Also $15 billion revenue over two world cups isn’t the same as $4 billion capital right now.

The commercial side of FIFA’s events is already run like a pure business. They just made 15 billion in the last four year cycle. They barely pay tax. Host nations foot the huge bills for stadiums and infrastructure. All FIFA really does is sell the broadcast rights, sponsorships and tickets. So why do they suddenly need to sell off parts of the commercial rights to private investors?

@RobHarris Good statement. Is it necessary to achieve FIFA’s medium- to long-term objectives. If FIFA has the financial capacity, it should be able to fund this process itself and potentially seek competitive bids for partnerships, while always maintaining majority ownership and control.

Full statement Carlos Cordeiro quits as Infantino's senior adviser at FIFA Full statement

Rest in peace, Franco Baresi 🕊️ 7-time Ballon d’Or nominee. Second place in 1989. Italian football legend. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

@beth_lindop Loud doomie propaganda versus two official FIFA statements lol. All this noise over something that will ultimately be decided by votes of FIFA’s member nations not the governing body. It’s ridiculous.

Just finished my first shift on FIFA’s crisis comms team. Think it went well!

La Storia del Milan è in lacrime per la scomparsa di Franco Baresi. Il suo esempio e la sua profondità saranno, per sempre come la sua maglia numero 6, parte integrante e fondamentale del DNA e del cammino di tutto il Club. Le condoglianze che AC Milan porge alla famiglia tutta di Franco Baresi sono le stesse che ogni tifoso rossonero fa a sé stesso in un'ora così dura. The entire history of AC Milan is in tears following the passing of Franco Baresi. His example and integrity will be forever etched into the Club's DNA, just as his iconic number 6 shirt is. The condolences AC Milan extends to Franco Baresi's family at such a difficult time are shared by every Rossonero, who feels this loss as their own.

@henrywinter Lol the member nations will voice their approval/disapproval through the vote. Your math is definitely wrong.

It’s definitely over, Gianni. 55+41+47 adds up to defeat. Asian Football Confederation adds its weight to UEFA and CONCACAF stance. AFC “believes that the proposed FFE cannot realistically achieve the necessary broad consensus and unity required to move forward”. 👇

@zalikita @osasuo @FIFAcom I checked the bio afterwards and he is part of Euro media, so he’s actually not fighting against his own interests. Black doesn’t automatically mean African bro.

@433_CM @osasuo @FIFAcom Thank you Bros. He sounds like he’s from Europe, who understandably should be concerned about this development as it further erodes their influence and power in the game. But for an African spouting the key points of UEFA, dats literally fighting against ur own self interest.

When investors seek to make an investment, they approach the company they want to make an investment in, by making a pitch to the board. The board puts questions to the potential investor and the company’s board goes into consultations and deliberations, with its owners/shareholders, to reflect on the offer, in order to decide on whether to accept or reject it… In what world of corporate governance does a CEO of a company that PEs or VCs are seeking to take over, or buy a stake in, become the pitchman/PR guy for the prospective buyer???? Have you not noticed that the proposed buyers have been very silent and have not been doing the sale, as should be done in business? Why is that?🤔

@swissfootdata 😂 nevermind, you have a good day.

@433_CM 😂😂😂 yeah sure man, AI is totally on FIFAs side FIFA and Infantino got exposed, and the whole world is pointing and laughing at it Even the US is disgusted It's over, mate 🤭

So now it's all the fault of the 'media'???? Hahahahahahahaha how more pathetic can you get??? Already totally owened by community note again It was a horseshit idea fueled by greed and pure arrogance Just step down and let it go, Infantino You are fucking DONE

@osasuo @FIFAcom You won’t let football grow because you’ve decided that any global commercial model used in other sports is automatically “Americanisation.” This is just resistance to change from the power hungry, not an argument. Goodbye 👋 ☺️

@433_CM @FIFAcom This is football. This is not the NBA, the NFL or the NHL. We don’t want the Americanisation of world football. Goodbye.

@AyoBigtalkzu @TegoSigel Si, soy Donaldo Trump. Me gustan los tacos.

@433_CM @TegoSigel Is this Trumps burner account… no way you’re serious

@osasuo @FIFAcom This isn’t a new concept. Plenty of sports separate governance from commercial operations.

@433_CM @FIFAcom It’s a load of nonsense.

@yinkanubi This isn’t a new concept. Plenty of sports separate governance from commercial operations.

"No one is selling football" That's what you are literally doing when you incorporate a subsidiary with a board and sell off stakes in that entity to private investors. You are selling football and you should own it.

@Romain_Molina Cut the baseless propaganda at least now 😂

La FIFA a le culot d'accuser des "reportages médiatiques erronés" pour justifier les soucis qu'elle rencontre C'était donc encore un coup des méchants journalistes ! Rien à voir avec l'opacité totale d'un projet décidé et mené presque en solo avec Infantino avec l'administration Trump au mépris des différentes commissions et procédures statutaires de la FIFA

@JensRingberg No one has pulled the plug. It clearly says what’s going to happen.

FIFA trækker i land … og så var det selvfølgelig medierne, der fremstillede forslaget heeeelt forkert!
