PrintWell last night was fun, you know if you forget about the loss and everything. Seriously, it was great to see such a talented side come out here and give it there all. I don't know if you guys heard or not but that almost Ajax's full starting squad out there and those guys are still in their prime as they have not yet gone on off-season break yet. Well, as of last night anyway, that was their last game of the season.
Anyway, as usual here's an assortment of news to digest. Enjoy!

I can't wait until FIFA implodes and has to be rebuilt from the ground up
They are more corrupt than the IOC used to be, and that’s saying something.
It's ridiculous...
And what’s worse is that it’s a total monopoly. Every offshoot that’s been attempted has spectacularly failed.
If the big footballing associations in Europe would break away we could probably see a new authority born, but that won’t ever happen given all the incredible support FIFA gives UEFA.

Voting procedures skew towards rewarding smaller FAs with greater power.
And plenty of those smaller FAs have a different idea of graft and corruption.
