It all sounds very above board... computers to make sure everything goes as FIFA wants it to go smoothly, a few coloured balls with flags on to identify 'special' nations, coloured quadrants and different pathways through the rounds, Trump making a speech, Klum and Shirtswinger there to keep the suits awake and slathering for an hour and a half... What could be better for the sport and be more open and transparent?

The Village People, Heidi Klum, Robbie Williams, a Trump Peace Prize, and "Johnny" Infantino taking selfies...and yet the most ludicrous aspect of the whole thing is they have Rio Ferdinand conducting the draw.It all sounds very above board... computers to make sure everything goesas FIFA wants it to gosmoothly, a few coloured balls with flags on to identify 'special' nations, coloured quadrants and different pathways through the rounds, Trump making a speech, Klum and Shirtswinger there to keep the suits awake and slathering for an hour and a half...

They've surpassed themselves on the absurdity scale already.
Very excited to see who the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize is awarded to later at the draw attended by Donald Trump.
Could be anyone!

“The ceremony gets started at 17:00 GMT (12:00 local time) on 5 December, but there's going to be far more to this glitzy event than simply pulling the countries out of a hat.
Supermodel Heidi Klum, comedian Kevin Hart and actor and producer Danny Ramirez will co-host.
Before the draw there will be live music performances from Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams and Nicole Scherzinger, while Fifa president Gianni Infantino and US President Donald Trump are both expected to make speeches.
Then it is on to video clips of the finalists, introductions and the draw itself.
Former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand will conduct the draw.
The 47-year-old will be joined by broadcaster Samantha Johnson and a host of sporting greats, including Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Aaron Judge and Shaquille O'Neal.
Once the draw has been completed, the Village People will perform YMCA to bring the curtain down, with the entire ceremony expected to last about 90 minutes.”
What an utter circus.

Jesus H. Christ on a penny-farthing.
I struggle to see any reason why any sane person would watch this farce.
