I hope you are having a better day than Gianni Infantino, because UEFA just pulled its 55 nations' football teams from all future FIFA competitions including the future World Cups.
Corruption has consequences.

@randahl this is so incredibly heartening to read
@randahl Fuck yeah, UEFA! 💪
@randahl Let have a look at this :

Regards,
@randahl not just UEFA. It's been in the news that this proposed deal is so corrupt that it's even too corrupt for Sepp Blatter to support...
@randahl
Let's wait and see. I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet.
It’s not as if the UEFA officials are all incorruptible. They might just need to sweeten the deal a bit more for Europe. And then, in the end, the whole thing will go ahead after all - perhaps under a different name or so.
If UEFA were truly a staunch defender against the selling-out of football, they would have put their foot down years ago.
This is not about corruption per se. Infantino was too greedy and and did not find a way to cut UEFA mafia in.
UEFA and FIFA are joined by hip in corruption for decades. UEFA has been involved in several high-profile corruption, bribery cases.
@randahl Snicko is a serious tech thing. It has not good influence. 
@randahl Performative. They have three years to change their minds.
@randahl
Supporting homophobia: Ok
Handing a "peace price" to the guy who keeps ending the same war: Ok
Reversing a red card as a friendly gesture to the don: Ok
Selling out: Now hold on a second.
That's not corruption having consequences, that's either corruption getting too obvious (nah, everybody could already see it), or someone wanting their share.
@randahl Trump zal wel weer hogere tarieven gaan opleggen aan de UEFA landen om zijn holmaatje te steunen.
I urge Canada to join the boycott.
@randahl Now to count the days until Infartino is removed from office..
@randahl Trump will come out saying UEFA are communists

@donamasta then he will block their Visa transactions.

@randahl this strong stand sounds similar to the EU anti coersion bazooka. And how did that turn out?
They have a method. The attacks won't stop. Those standing up for something good will be vilified.
@randahl @donamasta I would actually love that. Football is where a _lot_ of people draw the line.
@randahl Menudo órdago... 😱
Infantino va a conseguir hacer buena a la UEFA, lo cual es sorprendente.
@randahl hypocrites.
I see the Americas followed suit shortly after
I would expect that almost everyone is having a better day than he is.
@randahl time for setting up UEFA World Cup
@randahl I'm surprised UEFA still has a spine. Good for them.
Wow. Strong statement. Let's face it: Infantile has tarnished FIFA as thoroughly as Trump has tarnished the USA.
prediction: FIFA will back down for one month or two, UEFA accepts it and withdraw their boycott but then FIFA will do the same in a different form.
