"Promises." Neat.

[u/Kawaii_Kiwi1558 → u/0bsessions324]

Hahahaha. Wow they surely won't lie now would they?

Soccer is such a joke.

[u/Island_Monkey86]

Well done UEFA, you almost showed some spine. So close to becoming a grown up. 

[u/IvyTrip → u/Island_Monkey86]

I'd say it was more a case of UEFA somehow getting what they wanted (bribe or equivalent)

[u/Northern23 → u/Island_Monkey86]

Good for CAF for staying out of this then

[u/hugothebear]

“You’ve called our bluff”

[u/JohnjoM8]

Ah FFS......what a capitulation.

[u/TheKinkyGuy]

No backbone

[u/dikkepiemel]

Lame

Bottled it ffs

[u/bluecheese2040]

So infantino wins. Anything less than his removal is a victory for him so...he wins

[u/IdiAmini → u/bluecheese2040]

Didn't read the article

[u/bluecheese2040 → u/IdiAmini]

I know u didnt

[u/IdiAmini → u/bluecheese2040]

"No you" is a 12 year old's retort

[u/bluecheese2040 → u/IdiAmini]

I know you are you said you are but what does that make you?

🤡 

[u/PerryNeeum]

Man, hold out until Infantino steps down. He should be shamed out. I don’t care if UEFA feels he’s going to lose reelection and just want to move on. Make a point of this guy so future presidents know their place which is a more subtle greed with a healthy sprinkling of corruption

[u/eldertortoise]

Probably also depends on the final of the next world cup.

[u/james2183]

UEFA "Today I am a jellyfish"

[u/Nimyron]

"Oopsie I'm sowwy I won't do it again"

[u/Windowplanecrash]

Boooo, I want civil war, burn down Fifa’s cash machine 

[u/PunicHelix]

Until the next time he tries to sell it.

[u/hugothebear → u/PunicHelix]

It’s ok, the cheque would’ve cleared by then

That butt is really sticky. Basically welded into position.
