The bombshell statement landed at 16:00 BST on Thursday, 30 July.
In terms of impact, European football's governing body Uefa could not have gone any bigger.
"Uefa and its national **** ociations will not participate in Fifa competitions," it said.
Eleven brutal words. The definitive reaction to Fifa president Gianni Infantino's plan to sell a 20% stake in a subsidiary company set up to run the world governing body's competitions, including the World Cup.
A company it is intended Fifa will run but that will be part-funded by private investors, including the brother of US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Joshua Kushner.
