Confidence in Fifa is being restored. How do we know? Because Fifa has told us. And Fifa's integrity is such that attacks on it cannot be tolerated... Fifa, in between plotting to sell off the World Cup, has said it wasn't doing that. Not that many people in Fifa knew for sure, as Fifa didn't bother consulting them.
But then, as Fifa said a statement about a "constructive and positive meeting held in Rabat, Morocco", its only official elected by the 211 member ******* ociations is the president. Although, admittedly, many of those ******* ociations are calling for Gianni Infantino to go and plenty of others came out in opposition to what – according to the governing body, anyway – was called the "Fifa Forward Enterprise proposal".
And now that is off the table, again in Fifa's words, a statement that tested the boundaries of Orwellian doublespeak, the only remaining issues, in Fifa's world, are the horrible "attacks" on it.

A global sport was plunged into crisis by one man, Infantino, who either had an idea he forgot to fully communicate with virtually everyone – Fifa's chief operating officer Kevin Lamour, its chief of global football development ******* ne Wenger, the various confederations, clubs, national ******* ociations, players, fans... – or tried to stage a coup against the sport as a whole.
