The NCAP Soccerball Thread

Every interview with every FIFA representative must always start with a question about the FiFA peace prize. They can not be allowed to brush it under the carpet and forget about it.

...but they never do.

True, they don't, but I still think they hold a lot more power than clubs and administrators like to admit.

As Newcastle and Manchester City have shown the only thing most football fans are concerned about is the success of their team. The politics are easily overlooked.

The sad truth is that you are both correct, at the same time. It's an odd world.

I will watch but I can't stand FIFA. I take solace in the separation (in my head at least!) of the actual football and real fans from FIFA and all other governing bodies; UEFA, Premier League and so on. I still think the game belongs to fans, regardless of what FIFA et al do. People will say that is naive, but if fans chose to walk away then the game is dead in the water.

I'm fortunate in that I support Kilmarnock and my local non league side North Shields so concerns a about the big governing bodies are pretty much limited to international football.

I am slightly disappointed that Scotland have chosen to choose this World Cup to end their near 30 year boycott of the tournament but I'm still pleased we're there. I expect we'll lose to Haiti, draw with Morocco and beat Brazil.
