FFS LOL

"We need to give opportunities and we need to give dignity," said Infantino.

"Not by giving charity, but by allowing the rest of the world to participate. We need to give hope to Africans so they don't need to cross the Mediterranean in order to find, maybe, a better life, but more probably death in the sea."

Then at the end of the article

Fifa delegates have been told switching the staging of football's biggest international tournament would generate £3.3bn in additional revenue over a four-year cycle.


The ONLY way African teams will improve is with funding. They're still living in poor conditions with poor quality of life with poor footballing facilities.

Besides, how does making the tournament every 2 years change anything? You're still going to have the same few African teams qualify and make little impact at the tournament whether its every year, every 2 years or every 4 years.

Thats a pity, barrels can be very useful particularly on a picket line for burning stuff to keep warm. Will be a shame to see them go. Any idea whats replacing them?
