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

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.

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

Fifa cannot sit by and see greed rule the football world. Nor shall we.

Footballers are slaves. I know this from the personal experience of being a footballer.

I can understand that people are not happy, but they should not use football to make their demands heard

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