Head of Argentina FA
"It looks like England is always complaining so please I say will you leave the Fifa family alone!" he says to strong applause. "We always have attacks from England," he adds. "Their journalism is more busy lying than telling the truth."

Cyprus FA:
"Allegations - what a beautiful English word," scoffs the Cyprus FA delegate. "Someone stands up says a few things... without a single shred of truth."

Head of the Congo FA:
"He who accuses must provide evidence," he fumes. "A single candidate sometimes proves that people are satisfied with that candidate," says the Congo FA man, to loud applause from the floor.
And as for those that
still believe there's no bias against England, or racism within the FIFA ranks..
Vice chairman GrondanaQUOTE
‘I do not believe a Jew can ever be a referee at that level (Argentine Premier League) because it’s hard work and, you know, Jews don’t like hard work’
My personal favourite part from Grondana.

"Yes, I voted for Qatar, because a vote for the US would be like a vote for England, and that is not possible.
"But with the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left."
So basically, because we made them look like little girls, they don't like us anymore. Wah, wah!
I think it's definitely time for us to pull out of FIFA. What's the point of entering competitions we can not possibly win? Regardless of footballing ability.
