FIFA Should publish full report - Sajid Javid




FIFA has been urged to publish the full report of its investigation into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding process. Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Sajid Javid wrote to president Blatter to make public the full report of the investigation besides the 42-page summary the body had earlier published. Javid described FIFA's act as questioning the body's independence and transparency. The summary report published on November 13 cleared Russia and Qatar, hosts of the 2018 and 2022 World cup. However, investigator Michael Garcia argued that the report had "numerous materially incomplete and erroneous representations". Ethics judge Hans-Eckert and Garcia have therefore agreed to let head of the world governing body's Audit and Compliance Committee, Domenico Scala,  look into the findings. Javid stated that the full report must be published to foster FIFA's credibility.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
