champagne seems a french name. So I agree with him.
French people are very logical / intelligent. Well said Mr. Champágne.

FIFA is a corrupt organization!
Blatter, Teixeira, Leoz, Grondona, etc, all need to go!

FIFA wants Teixeira replaced ‘immediately’ as Brazilian official resigns seat on ruling panel
GENEVA — The South American soccer confederation is being told it must act “immediately” to find a replacement for Ricardo Teixeira on FIFA’s executive committee.
Teixeira resigned his seat on world soccer’s governing body for “personal reasons” without elaborating on Monday, one week after leaving as president of Brazil’s soccer body and the 2014 World Cup organizing committee, citing unspecified health problems.
FIFA said its statutes require the South American body, known as CONMEBOL, to move quickly.
“CONMEBOL will now have to decide immediately on the replacement of Ricardo Teixeira as one of their representatives on the FIFA executive committee for the remaining period of office,” FIFA said in a statement.
FIFA’s 24-member ruling panel chaired by President Sepp Blatter meets next week in Zurich, though the embattled Teixeira was not expected to attend.
The 64-year-old Brazilian skipped the previous meeting of FIFA’s high command, held in Tokyo in December, when Blatter had hoped to publish a Swiss court document relating to a scandal involving million-dollar kickbacks from World Cup broadcasting deals in the 1990s.
Teixeira is widely reported to be implicated in the scandal, but publication of the dossier was delayed because of a legal process brought by unidentified parties before Switzerland’s supreme court.
Teixeira had two years left on the elected post he held since 1994 representing the 10 South American soccer nations at FIFA.
CONMEBOL has three FIFA seats and traditionally elects one member from each of Brazil and Argentina.
It could send an interim replacement to Zurich for the March 29-30 session, until an election can be held.
FIFA’s executive committee already has one interim member and a vacant seat.
Asia has sent Chinese official Zhang Jilong in place of its confederation president Mohamed bin Hammam, who was banned for life by FIFA in an election bribery scandal last year.
Bin Hammam can’t be formally replaced until his appeal challenging the ban is decided by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The Qatari official will face FIFA in the Lausanne, Switzerland, court on April 18-19.
FIFA is also without a Caribbean delegate, as the CONCACAF confederation has not replaced disgraced former president Jack Warner who resigned all of his soccer duties last June to avoid investigation alongside Bin Hammam in the bribery scandal.

Ms Lydia Nsekera , President of the Burundi Football Association and a member of the FIFA Committee for Women’s Football and the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ and the FIFA Organising Committee for the Olympic Football Tournaments, has been co-opted on to the FIFA Executive Committee. Ms Nsekera will be installed at the 2012 FIFA Congress. The formal election of a woman representative on the Executive Committee will be held in 2013 once the new FIFA Statutes have come into force. This decision follows the proposal made by the FIFA President at last year’s Congress

Anita DeFrantz, the senior U.S. member on the IOC as well as chair of its Women and Sport Commission, delivered the longest speech of the night. She also drew the healthiest round of applause from the 750 delegates representing 140 countries – and the night's only boos.
“In 1996, there were only four international federations that had women among their executive board members,” she said. “Over the years, we've reached a single number – one IF that has never had a woman on its governing board.
“Yes, I will name that federation. It's football,” she added to a handful of jeers, the audience clearly behind her.

So they've caught up with the rest of the world. Belated congratulations to FIFA I suppose.
