Brilliant how they dealt swiftly and severely with Suarez.
But I got the distinct impression that their officials at the press conference loved the gravitas of the entire event, with the world's media present. They really came across as serious organisation on an easy one to solve.
But on the different but still important matter of their own multi £m criminal corruption, the bent awarding of WC's and Blatter reinventing the rules to makes his a tenure for life, they never seriously tackle those damning issues.
This WC itself, events like Suarez biting, and the Ghanians infighting, have given FIFA some nice smokescreens for now, but let us see if they genuinely tackle their institutionalised corruption post-WC. Will there ever be a multi-lingual press conference to the World with lawyers presenting with great clarity and seriousness, the expulsion of Blatter & and all the bent cronies, and a revote on Qatar's WC? No.
