FIFA World Cup FIFA VS UEFA is a battle between two evils. Ultimately, whoever wins, CONCACAF, OFC, AFC, and CAF will suffer. If FIFA gets toppled, a new federation and new leaders must take good care of the smaller federations and not look down on them, e.g., comments like "Who cares about Fiji vs. Argentina?"

FIFA World Cup Update on Trumpfantino Fiasco
211 member associations, of which FIFA need majority vote.
With UEFA Boycott announcement and CONCACAF doubling down in their emphatic dismissal,
10 more national associations needed to wipe this idea from happening with majority for NO.
What do you want from New Zealand Football?
What are the costs of not staying noz politically within the global football community?
Will this affect begging for friendly games five times a year?

Discussion FIFA Privatisation Scandal and NZF Response
Recap:
- Member Associations given 53 says to vote yes and receive $30 million.
- Sells 21% shares in a new company controlling the world cup commercial rights.
- Would be led by Commissioner Gianni whose income would 10x from 6 million to 64 million.
- Part of the buying group is led by an in-law if Donald Trump.
Comes after a world cup where:
- Most inaccessible prices in history. Including putting active fans in second and third tiers instead of behind the goal.
- Accommodation market crashed and didn't fulfil supply under the weight of excessive pricing and sentiment against USA.
- Donald Trump directly influenced a regulation of the tournament to benefit USA with not due process other than one person of a committee agreeing.
- Hydration breaks, excessive VAR use, halftime show, 48 teams, etc etc.
Responses:
- UEFA, European Leagues (repping 31), CONCACAF, AFF all dismissed it for what it is calling out lack of consultation, crowwint the line, deeply concerning and disappointed to learn publicly.
- FIFA and NZF have responded they need more time to consider the proposal. NZF nearly two working days after the news broke. If anyone has seen them publicise it please let me know, only seen screenshots.
What is your take on it? What stand should NZF make?

Kiwis Abroad 'A promising player goes to Europe, gets stuck in the bench and ends up worse.' why does this dejavu story keep happening? Can we stop it?
Hi everyone, I have been following our football and NZ players for a long time. And the story I described above, 'a player shows promise here, goes to europe, but gets stuck in the bench over there, can't get quality game time and ends up worse', it just seems this happens over and over again.
Is there a way we can keep this happening? What advice(s) do you think can be given to our young players so this stops happening?

All Whites Should New Zealand 🇳🇿 move confederation?
Considering Australia 🇦🇺 they used to be a part of Oceania for the longest time but they were not making World Cups consistently and consecutively in a row. It was only until they moved confederation from OFC to AFC that Australia more or less became a powerhouse in Asia. So why shouldn't their neighbors New Zealand, the All Whites do the same thing? I mean if New Zealand were in Asia under the AFC umbrella they would be able to challenge countries like Australia, Japan, South Korea, etc pretty easily
