It seems like Europe, yet again, have to stand up for ethics, morality and try to deflect corruption. It's so tiresome.

It’s standing up for football. Far more important.

This is UEFA we are talking about.

Remember that when (FIFA president) Blatter was investigated for corruption, (UEFA president) Platini was also banned.

...and Infantino was the UEFA secretary under Platini before taking Blatter's place as head of FIFA.

Well, FIFA is also an European organization. Swiss, to be exact.

It’s located in Switzerland, but it’s a global organization and has really close ties with the US president

You don't understand, good things come from the EU, bad things come from those filthy non-EU Europeans.

		International companies and institutions parking their money in Switzerland genuinely have as much to do with Europe as Russian Oligarchs in London have with the United Kingdom. The country's always been a financial haven for oligarchs, it doesn't tell you much about the rest of the continent. Infantino who seems to oscillate between Qatar and Switzerland I assume has a rather strenuous connection to the rest of Europe

Sorry to be a pedant, while switzerland is in the european landmass, it is not a member of the EU.

Maybe. But we take football quite seriously.
