Football Associations to discuss quitting FIFA after being silenced during World Cup

Denmark will have conversations with other member nations from UEFA, including England, about leaving FIFA, after issues over protests during the World Cup
cant see it happening, either fifa will fold, apologise, promise to do better or these countries would fold if fifa called their bluff...but...the tiny part of my that loves some anarchy would love to see it
Did you see his 'i feel disabled, I feel like a migrant worker' speech? The most embarrassing, cringey shit I've ever heard

I dont want to be the guy bitching about diving, I know I can turn off and not pollute this threat.
But fuck me it's a blight on the game. Football can be such am attractive game, but when an entire match can turn on somebody cheating , it's hard to enjoy.
This Aussie / Tunisia game is only halfway through, and there has been at least 10 incidents of faking injuries (with miraculous recoveries) and diving.
I cant for the life of me understand why authorities don't try harder to stamp it out.

I'm quite amazed at the lack of finishing in most games.
Tunisia are creating plenty and look dangerous but can't turn it into shots on target so it means little.
They're well on top in this half

They were scared of wearing an armband being a yellow, after all.

On top but never looked like scoring.

@voodoo Drove me away from the game too. Obviously there is not enough will to change it or perhaps it is a means to protect the big contracts of Neymar etc. There are also so many groups of countries with some being more cynical and theatrical than others. Try watching the Copa America.

Not going to lie. I'm finding this tournament bloody boring. Hopeful the last round of group matches and the knock out will be more engaging.
In general the group stage games tend to be more exciting. As the tournament progresses teams become more averse to losing and their play reflects this

FIFA think it's genius, not something to stamp out

@voodoo I swear that professional footballers need to be good actors too.
I watched most of the Argentina-Mexico game around the live rugby. Messi and co survive to fight another day. The Italian ref wasn't falling for all of the diving.
Now Germany has their WC final tomorrow against Spain.

Desperately poor game
