Ei jaksa ja ehdi tätä nyt seuramaan, saa joku toki ottaa vähän pointteja ylös miten etenee, Eiköhän iltauutiset kerro toki sitten tarkemmin.
Tuosta Guardianin feedistä voi helposti poimia joitakin pointteja.
Olennaisia:
- FIFAn kokous pidetään normaalisti (mikä tarkoittanee Blatterin uudelleenvalintaa, toim. huom.)
- MM-kisat 2018 ja 2022 pidetään Qatarissa ja Venäjällä - ainakin näillä näkymin (pientä toivoa siis vielä on, toim. huom.)
- "This for Fifa is good. It is not good in terms of image or reputation, but in terms of cleaning up, this is good … It is not a nice day, but it is also a good day. The process goes on and we are looking forward.”, sanoo FIFAn tiedottaja.
- Kysymys: kuinka Blatter voi jatkaa? Vastaus: “He is not involved. That is important information.” (niinpä tietenkin...)
Eli mikään ei ole muuttunut, loppujen lopuksi.
