GUINEA BISSAU FA PRESIDENT BLASTS FIFA’S INFANTINO

The President of the Football Federation of Guinea Bissau, Opes Manuel Nascimento has blasted FIFA President Gianni Infantino and accused him of dividing Africa.

“We have the elections for the Confederation of African Football coming in March 16th and can you imagine a whole FIFA President is meeting people separately because he wants a change in Africa,” said a tough speaking Manuel during an interview at the Raddison Blue Hotel in Libreville.

The Guinea Bissua FA President said it is unfortunate some African football leaders have accepted to be used by Infantino to decide the fate of football leadership in Africa.

He explained that when Africa openly supported Qatar’s Mohamed bin Hammam for FIFA’s presidency during the elections last year, Infantino thinks it is the time to revenge and ring changes in Africa.

Madagascar’s Football Federation President, Ahmad Ahmad will contest against Hayatou to become CAF’s president and some insiders suggest he is being supported by FIFA’s Infantino to oust the incumbent.

Hayatou was elected to the role of CAF President in 1988 and if he wins again it will extend his reign to 33 years as head of African football’s governing body.

Nascimento who said he will vote for Hayatou challenged Ahmad to withdraw his candidature.

“He has no capacity to lead CAF well enough because he lacks what it takes,” reasoned the Guinea Bissau FA President, who further explains that Hayatou’s being in CAF for long has brought about stability in the body and this even brought a World Cup in the African continent.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Hayatou has been far too long in the role, when he finally leaves willingly or unwilling I think CAF members might split when it comes to voting.

E11, I have written about this from the outset of the FIFA vote that made Infantino President. It is gradually playing itself out. Infantino knows, he can only continue as FIFA President with Africa's vote and he will not stop until he gets his people in position. Blatter did the same thing.

Amaju Pinnick is already in position at FIFA, he and Toyko Sexwale were huge players in getting Infantino the African votes that made him FIFA President. Hayatou's time is up, Infantino has been lobbying Africans countries for votes to oust Hayatou. Indeed, I am aware of rumours of people on the other side offering cash incentives to get votes.

If that guy is one of the people on whom Infantino's strategy depends,
his tenure as FIFA President will be troublesome and short.

For many years upon this spot
You heard the sound of a merry bell
Those who were rash and those who were not
Lost and made a spot of cash
He who gave the game away
May he Brynn in hell and rue the day
