On that line of thought, do you think that a small or african country will ever get the chance to win the cup, even if they have the best team and the best football? I find the Referees to be conditioned by FIFA and the economics side. If Brazil on any of the Five Giants; Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Germany, France, get out in the first round, economically, the cup gets a dent. But is it fair? Rermember the 2002Cup? Brazil-Turkey, Brazil-Belgiam? This year, Italy-Australia, France-Portugal? Brazil-Gana. Tell the truth acording to your heart, and don't be afraid.

How could FIFA not be corrupted? Do you see how much money is in this? Money's latest victim has been football, the beautiful game.

Like in every institution there is some degree of corruption in FIFA. If you can recall, African confederation member Ismail Bhamjee was sent home from the World Cup for ticked scalping. But there is no evidence of corruption being an institutional problem or that it affects the game itself.
'Small' teams have had opportunities to reach the final stages and winning the hearts of fans, do you remember the Croatian team of 1998? If an African country has the best team and the best football I am sure they will make it to the finals, but they have not been even close to having neither. If you recall Brazil -Ghana, although the Africans made it to the Brazilian area, they missed every opportunity. The Australians had one man advantage for over 40 minutes and were not able to inflict any damage to the Italian defense.
Refereeing needs a lot of work but I feel the problem is more technical than anything else. It is very easy to criticize a bad decision sitting comfortably in our couch and looking at the frame by frame replay when a referee has to make a split second decision sometimes on the run and from a difficult angle.

I do believe that the FIFA is not corrupted.
Football will always have a "human" side in the referee. It is part of the game and I like it. I like it even if I disagree with referee's calls.
Part of that human nature resides in believe that some teams are stronger than others. That happens and it is only human.
I do believe that a "non strong" country Can win the cup.
Some of the so called week countries have made it to third place.
Croatia was a week team few years ago. Turkey four years ago.
The African teams where no-where to be seen few decades ago and now we the go to the second round and sometimes to quarter finals.
It will take time, but it will happen.

All governing bodies are politically involved and most likely have a degree of corruption in their finances and contract giving. But to say there is a certain amount of match fixing to push forward a team and deny another from moving on is a bit far fetched. Big teams usually get the better calls and there are numerous examples of this : brazil-Belgium (Belgium denien fair goal 2002 w. cup); Argentina-Italy (dubious penalty) etc. Not all sports are clean.

Fury the questions that were vindicated are the circumstances record that led to 6 contributors being suspended and a couple of were on the exec committee.....The BBC reporter has been making comments about Fifa corruption for over 10 years.....even as Haveland became in value....in spite of the indisputable fact that the info for this one got here with the autumn of ILS the business enterprise that paid the bribes....paper path from records tutor the corruption is going all a thanks to the accurate. humorous now how all comments say that no matter if the Media had no longer finished those comments that Fifa had already desirous to provide the video games to Russia and Qatar.......what gave them that assurity perchance it shows the equipment is as incorrect and corrupt as all of us understand it truly is.

Yes........in some way there is some favoritism towards the established countries......the only way to counter this is to qualify for every cup and earn respect......sad to say but true......not all is bad though.........don't forget Greece winning the European cup.....they came from nowhere....so let's just say they are far from being perfect but do their best.

they just need to choose better referees.
i hope an african country wins it but right now it seems unlikely. i think we r all biased cus we have seen the same teams winning.
