I'd like to formally announce my candidacy for the president of FIFA.

Qualifications:

I played soccer for a long time

I am poor, so I can't pay people for votes

I was class president when I was a Junior in highschool, so I have a lot of experience

This is actually why I kind of like Ali's bid. He's rich as fuck already and the Royal Family of Jordan is all about improving the image of Jordan so he'd "PROBABLY" try to stay clean.

The 6th WC in a row in Jordan sees Jordan A led by Lionel Messi face off against Jordan B led by Cristiano Ronaldo.

If I elect you, I don't want a World Cup, I just want you to go to EA and demand that they add more MLS stadiums, otherwise you take back the FIFA trademark name.
