Madail: This is an outrage!FPF president denies any wrong-doing with World Cup bid The head of the Portuguese football federation, Gilberto Madial, has hit back at FIFA and news that Portugual/Spain are in collusion with Qatar in attemtping to land the 2018 World Cup.
Reports had surfaced in England (BBC & Daily Telegraph) that the two bidding parties had formed an alliance whereby they would each support one another in order to land the World Cup in the respective years they are bidding for. FIFA's Ethics Committee has opened an investigation into the allegations and the news is sitting none too well with Gilberto Madail as he has utterly refuted any illegal collaborations or partnerships. "We have received news that the Ethics Committe will be looking into allegations of an established accord between the Iberian and Qatar candidates to host the (respective) World Cups with surprise and outrage," stated Madail. "We categorically deny that we have formed any kind of accord or alliance with any other candidates with regards to voting, which will decide who hosts FIFA's World Cups." The FPF boss added that he thought the allegations of collusion had surfaced at a most peculiar time when FIFA executive members Amos Adamu and Reynald Temarii were exposed, and suspended indefintely, in a shocking scandal where they attempted to sell their votes in return for money. "I find it strange that suspicions, albeit completely unfounded, have been launched at a time where attempts to sell votes which would contribute to hosting the World Cups have made public news." by Marco Pereira |
They love to slander and create splashing head lines….. british news is like the national enquires.
Spain and Portugal are a far greater draw and have great host stadiums that have culture beaches great wine and topless beaches.
England has a smelly river, rust belt towns full of soccer hooligans and grease fish and chips.
Where would to spend you cash!

It looks like England and the US might be out and Portugal and Spain are back in.
Anyway, who would want to go to England anyway and eat that lousy food. Not even the farm pigs in Portugal would eat that slop they call food.
Bunch of limmey hypocrites....
Why is it ok for England to do it?
From the get go we all knew England was going to get it but thats fine since as soon as England loose in the group stages it'll make it all the better for us since they're at home.
This was applauded by FIFA
btw: why isn't the spanish FA under investigation it is a joint bid. FIFA likes to bully the small federations.
