Football: Leagues to Sue FIFA Over “Abuse of Dominance”! (23.7.2024)

This is the nuclear option. It is the red button the unions and leagues hoped not to press but they feel they have been left with no alternative.

Unions, by reputation, do not need to be asked twice to fight for the rights of their members but that fact the leagues – including the Premier League – are backing this action makes it significant.

The threat of legal action has been spoken about in football circles for over a year and there is now a united front, one the Professional Footballers’ Association wanted to ensure before progressing.

Fifa’s response and argument against accuses some clubs of hypocrisy – taking their players around the globe on summer tours – while also saying Fifpro is consulted over the calendar so expect a strong defence from the world governing body.

Yet there is a determination from all the complainants to follow both cases through if a resolution outside the courts is not found. Unions and leagues want to see a change from Fifa and, if not, this will go the distance.

Football: How FIFA & UEFA Support Neo-Nazism in Ukraine by “Banning” Russia from the 2024 UEFA Cup! (7.6.2024)

Of course, the 2024 UEFA Cup is being held in Germany – the true home of Nazism which committed one of the greatest crimes the world has ever seen. Indeed, it was the Soviet Red Army that fought and broke the back of the once mighty Hitlerite regime – and yet it is the Germans who are playing football in this year’s UEAFA CUP – and the Russians who are not. The United States has caused total chaos, poverty and hardship by the stupid and pointless sanctions it has placed against Russia – which have had no effect upon Russia – but has rather destroyed the stability of the European economy. All this the Americans do in support of the Neo-Nazi regime it has imported in the Ukraine – the once proud spear-head of the Soviet Red Army – and the area within which the Nazi Germans (and their allies) carried-out the greatest amount of destruction during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945).

World Cup: They Said It Would Be All Over by Xmas – And It Was! (11.12.2022) 

England gave away the first half against France last night (and effectively conceded this quarterfinal game) – whilst dominating and ‘exposing’ France throughout the second half! The psychological effect of the French first goal finished the match – such was the devastating and forceful ease (elan) with which it was scored! Everything after this point of the game was a footnote. I know this because I have witnessed this England self-destruct mechanism in action over many, many decades and am now an old hand at assessing this form of spherical self-flagellation! The tragedy is that for much of the game England were by far the better side – but having just watched Morrocco make history by becoming the first ‘African’ nation to make it to the quarterfinals of the World Cup (although not many ‘Black’ Africans are celebrating the progression of a population of Arab invaders occupying an ‘African’ country) – it was odd to see Morrocco fans supporting France! The former ‘colonised’ supporting their ‘colonisers’! If England had scored the numerous chances the players earned (and not ‘missed’ a crucial penalty) – England would now be playing Morrocco in the semi-finals! But then again, the same weaknesses in the English game would still exist and I would probably be sat at this laptop knocking-out a similar article of failure and despair in just a few days’ time – as a jubilant Morrocco march on to the final – probably with Argentina!

US Fascism: Its Attack Upon FIFA and the Future of the Game! (6.12.2022)

FIFA is essentially a bourgeois charity that makes billions – like any good capitalist charity – but the US cannot influence or penetrate its inner workings, and this is why it is attempting to ‘legally’ infiltrate and ‘colonise’ its left-leaning mechanisms – so that it can direct them toward the political right-wing! The US is stating that only countries it agrees with should host the World Cup – and this is the essence of US fascism which we must fight and defeat! Russia in 2018 (anti-Ukrainian Neo-Nazi) and Qatar in 2022 (anti-Israeli Zionism) is all part of a US-plot instigated by FIFA! If only it were! Prior to 1991, the CCCP, and other Communist countries such as East Germany, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Hungary used to routinely qualify for the World Cup Finals! In England the British working-class took to supporting North Korea during the 1966 (UK) World Cup Finals! They chanted: 

North Korea, North Korea! 

Over Here, Over Here! 

Juche and Sorghum! 

Sitting in the Sun! 

Nobody knew exactly what ‘Juche’ and ‘Sorghum’ actually meant – but the general consensus was that it must be better than the misery of living within predatory capitalism!

The Dangerous Myth of Football

For a small number of working class men to be privileged in this manner, the majority of the working class (and the oppressed) around the world, must be kept firmly in their place. The majority of the masses (in the world) actually finance this gigantic money making machine that only benefits the minority – that is the middle class – which reaps all the financial benefits. Even after paying the individual players millions of pounds, there is still a tremendous amount of money leftover, which flows only from the working class toward the middle class, through a relentless process of accumulation. This process is maintained not only by the selling of associated merchandise such as football shirts, boots, flags, DVD’s, CD’s, and other paraphernalia, but relies heavily upon slave-labour, whereby very small children spend 12 to 16 hours a day, working in appalling conditions, in factories situated in the poorer areas of the world. This highly exploited workforce sews the shirts, footballs, and flags together, which are then played with by the rich adults and children of developed countries as a matter of leisure.
