I think we're witnessing the slow decline and eventual death of international football This is a blatant power play by Infantino in order to shore up his base. You'll remember that shortly before the FBI ended his reign of corruption, Blatter was in favour of something similar. The reports I've read talk of an extra £700 million for FIFA in TV revenue, but I'm sure that's not their reason for bringing in this change. The quality of the football will decline, top teams will coast along, and quality football will suffer if mediocrity is allowed free reign. |
