The War for the Control of Football

1. having the world cup every 2 years, seems tacky..

2. And who exaclty wants to watch all these games? Football should be about prestige and tradition. Less games, more health for players, better performance, more excitement for fans. These people think football is some sort of NBA or NHL, where players play at 50% half of the season. Seriously who wants to watch 60 games a year.

3. Liked the video but I thought one aspect was wrong. You mention CAF and AFC being for an expanded Club World Cup but not Conmebol. Conmebol benefits from an expanded Cup as well. A midseason tournament with 32 teams is much more exciting for Conmebol than a tournament right after a long season or 2 months into the offseason.

4. I’ve said this for 2 years now:

   MLS wants to be like the Premiere League (credibility)

   The premier league wants to be like UEFA (global notoriety)

   UEFA wants to be like FIFA (monetary dominance)

   Popularity, money, and corruption all mixed in one

5. Cartel funding it

6. with all due respect, the map of Morocco is incorrect.

7. I am a simple man. If Infantino says right, I go left. He's an excellent moral compass that reliably points south at all times.

8. I agree that elite football shouldnt be congested only in europe! It should be shared around the world! Cup competitions could be dropped for club world cup.

9. FIFA is just getting greedy

10. The inauguration FIFA CWC of new format was scheduled to be happened in China speaks a lot of things.

11. FIFA does not play the player wages, but ask for more and more. The calendar is absurd already. And basically they just want to grab more money. As shown on many ocasions

12. Every time you think Infantino reached a new low, he comes knocking from the bottom.

13. UCL new format, nations league, their own domestic leagues and now this😳

14. came out against it late in the day? hmm dont trust

15. "Share wealth" 🤡FIFA Stooges and corrupt capitalist want to squeeze the European cow that is all. The money will end in the pockets of the FIFA representatives. They will built Mansions in Africa or Asia for themselves but not Football pitches or Schools. I am willing to support the overall idea if FIFA becomes fully Transparent and Courts will be public in TV and corruption will be handle by a real court.

16. This is going to be really messy

17. This is why I celebrated the birth of the Super League. You have lawyers and businessmen infiltrating football and fighting over money but those same people would go out and beg the football community and fans to fight against the greed of the 14 super league clubs.

    This is why I'm happy for a new proper super league. People talk about history and what not I say screw that. No one bat eye lid when the Super Cup was abolished or when the Premier League was established (ironically broke away from the EFL due to greed as well). If the Super League can be more inclusive and less exclusive I think its a good idea for football. Keep football money within football.

18. It could actually affect national cups the most. Even now 1st teams don't play most of the tournament to let players recover.

19. Already dead. A corpse dipped in glitter.

20. I would care more about my team winning the FA cup than if they won the club world cup.
    I'm all for getting the rest of the world up to speed when it comes to competition in football but why does it always have to start with boot licking the Chinese or Saudis. Notice that you don't see many FIFA execs proposing the development and improvement of leagues in Somalia, the Philippines or Nigeria.

21. FIFA is probally the worst run IGO on the planet.

    The organization is structurally made up of the same confederations (who appoint the leadership) they are in competition with

    The confederations are made up of the national FAs; most of which are non profit-private entities.

    You have random sub confederations like the MENA running things like the “Arab Cup”. The OFC and Carribean ones that have power despite being in uncompetitive nations of a few hundred thousand.

    Under all that; national FAs which wouldn’t exist without the clubs and they hold the most power (the clubs)…and that’s only true of the big countries like England

    Each country runs their FA in their own way.

    Not to mention the IFAB.

    So to fix FIFA you have to fix all that. It’s brilliantly corrupt and attracts the most intelligent and sophisticated snakes because of this layered complicated system that really answers to no government but is highly influential and responsible for billions of dollars. There’s a reason why oligarchs and Oil Barons and wealthy sovereign states want in this business.

22. I'll just say this FIFA's bad, but having certain clubs control monopolies is even worse for the rest of the world

23. Hey dude iraq won the arabian gulf cup you should really talk about it I mean you talked about iraq winning the asian cup why not talk about hem winning the arabian gulf cup

24. Great video as always! Minor comment on the infographics though – while showing maps, it is quite confusing when the landmass is a 'light' colour and the waterbody is in 'dark' colours. Would be great if you can swap the colour schemes in future videos.

25. Fifa nor UEFA owns football money owns football

26. The zombie tournament 😄🧟

27. Who would trust an organization as corrupt as FIFA? Only those who hope to profit from the corruption would.

28. that s not morroco s map !!!!!!!!!!

29. What does the Club World Cup look like though if the big clubs say no and stay in the Champions League? Are they going to invite the 7-8th placed teams to compete?
