What matters to me more than anything is that when all of this is over, football is the winner.

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

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

I think it is high time that Europe starts to understand that we do not rule the world anymore, and that some former European imperial powers can no longer impress their will on to others in far away places, and we must accept that football has moved away from being a European and South American sport: it has become the World Sport that billions of fans are excitedly following every week, everywhere in the world.

The World Cup must remain the number one competition, because it is our only source of money and, with that money, we can develop football in the whole world.

We shall wonder if one day our game is played on another planet? Why not? Then we will have not only a World Cup we will have inter-planetary competitions.

I have no problem with G14. How can I oppose something that as far as I am concerned, does not exist?
