Hasn't been found yet though so they're trying to pin something on him fr the 2022 edition.. Don't know if they'll make anything stick though. It all leads back to Sarkozy and Qatar which is probably the prime target. Edited 18 June, 2019 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well according to Platini's lawyer there's nothing dodgy about anything at all, never has been, never will be and that he's just responding politely to requests for information and hasn't been placed under any judicial restraint. Mind you Platini probably pays him a shedload of money to say that. Edited 18 June, 2019 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedArmy Posted 18 June, 2019 Share Posted 18 June, 2019 As always, nothing will come of it with regards to Qatar being stripped of the WC, and thousands more will continue to die building the stadiums and infrastructure. The entire thing is an embarrassment to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
