So much of football relates to Christian life - sacrifice, commitment, discipline.

Like Christians, Soccerians argue that you should not judge the essence of their faith by the loopy activities of its followers. But the Beautiful Game is in fact quite the opposite. It is badly designed and riddled with flaws.

FIFA's goal of making the world a better place through football cannot be achieved through our efforts alone - equally important is the power which every fan of the beautiful game has at their disposal.

I believe that today's players who are Christians feel that it's important and their responsibility to acknowledge their faith.

There are standards of the game that FIFA governs and promises to uphold.

Football has an important role to play in society. Players should have a sense of social responsibility, have a moral dimension to them which shows up in good conduct.

As someone who loves football, I will continue to speak out frankly about FIFA's problems.

Fifa cannot sit by and see greed rule the football world. Nor shall we.

Many people agree with me that many things are not clear in football these days and it is not something people who watch football deserve. The situation will be the same while football is run by people who do not understand football.

Taking them out of the picture, so to speak, what football really is, the savagery, the core root of football, it doesn't change. It really puts the real in football.
