replyThis is UEFA we are talking about.
replyRemember that when (FIFA president) Blatter was investigated for corruption, (UEFA president) Platini was also banned.
...and Infantino was the UEFA secretary under Platini before taking Blatter's place as head of FIFA.
replyIt's almost like you cut the head off a snake, and it grows back a slimier and more poisonous head.
replyWell, FIFA is also an European organization. Swiss, to be exact.
replyIt’s located in Switzerland, but it’s a global organization and has really close ties with the US president
replyYou don't understand, good things come from the EU, bad things come from those filthy non-EU Europeans.
replyInternational companies and institutions parking their money in Switzerland genuinely have as much to do with Europe as Russian Oligarchs in London have with the United Kingdom. The country's always been a financial haven for oligarchs, it doesn't tell you much about the rest of the continent.

Sorry to be a pedant, while switzerland is in the european landmass, it is not a member of the EU.
replySorry to be a pedant too but no one said EU.
replyMaybe. But we take football quite seriously.
