Racism and discrimination of any kind have no place in football.

It's up to the national associations and their leagues to limit the entry of foreign players.

The important thing for me was that the World Cup should travel round the world.

They (the FAI) have asked, very humbly, can't we be team No 33 at the World Cup? They have asked for that... really!

I am the president now, the president of everybody.

We cannot constantly supervise everyone in football ...you cannot ask everyone to behave ethically.

It is very important that football can see beyond religion but FIFA does not just ignore its impact.
