Platini....going, going.....

Day -926. ‪‎WorldCup2018‬.

Tomorrow's another big day. Michel Platini finds out if the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will lift the 90 day suspension imposed on Platini by Fifa's Ethics committee.

Ok, now go back and read the first sentence above in a sarcastic tone. Platini thinks if he gets the ban lifted and he can resume his campaign to be Fifa president then he has a good chance of winning.

So really tomorrow is just another episode in this ongoing Fifa tragedy. Platini thinks he can replace his buddy Blatter because he believes he still has the backing of all the European nations and many more worldwide, despite the 2m Swiss Francs he received from Blatter for work done for Fifa.

Now go back and read that last sentence with a sense of sad irony. Because even though it seems ridiculous that Platini could still be a legitimate candidate, it seems like he is no different from any of the other candidates. What's an undocumented couple of millions between friends.

Once again I plead: get rid of them all, all the candidates and many of the people doing the electing. A bunch of questionable characters voting for the one person most adept at turning his questionabilty into reasons to be voted the best choice to lead them all.

And if you want to go back and re-read that last sentence while looking for a hint of humour in the tone, there's not any.
