[Agoraphobic]

With what's going on in the FIFA top circles, it is time for a change and get rid of the corrupt fat pigs, and here's some good news - it may be Diego!! Not a big soccer fan, but he's my favourite player after I first watched him play in the 80s.

Cheers!

Maradona to run for FIFA president

English.news.cn 2015-06-23 12:59:37


BUENOS AIRES, June 22 (Xinhua) -- Argentinian football legend Diego Armando Maradona will run for the presidency of scandal-hit world soccer body FIFA, media reported Monday.

"I'm a candidate," the outspoken retired footballer and coach told a close associate, according to Argentinian daily Clarin and other publications.
Maradona has been one of the harshest critics of FIFA's top executives, especially its disgraced president, the Swiss-born Joseph Blatter.
Blatter -- who defiantly stood for reelection in May even as several FIFA officials were indicted for bribery and money laundering, and was voted to fifth four-year term -- finally caved in to pressure, calling for extraordinary congress to elect a successor.
Maradona's Uruguayan cohost on a sports program that airs on Venezuelan TV network Telesur, Victor Hugo Morales, said via Twitter that he had called the ex-player and "he told me that he was going to be a candidate for the presidency of FIFA and he authorized me to announce it."
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro first proposed Maradona run for football's top office earlier this month.

Who gives a shit to this FLOP? He is a failure at managerial level.

I only know and see him as a soccer player, you guys are free to choose to judge him on other traits, but he is known only for his soccer skills and never claimed mastery in other things. To me, he was the greatest soccer player at his peak. They say that soccer is a team game, Maradona proved this untrue!

Cheers!

That was a very controversial goal. But the referee's decision is official, and final.

referees are known to get assassinated when the stakes are very high

High stakes, and assassination are not related to soccer. I know the public is more into betting, but I only like the game for the game itself, which is why it is better to have an ex-player take the reins of administering the games and representing it than the current crop of crooks.

Cheers!

He will be a very apt successor to Blatter.
