Scottish FA supports Platini.

By -
Scotland Football Association Chief executive Stewart Regan confirmed the governing body's support for the UEFA president following a meeting of the association’s board. “From the perspective of the smaller countries, he has opened up the channels of communication and ensured that every country, irrespective of size, has a voice,” said Regan. “That is healthy for the game and if he is prepared to do that across the world, I'm sure he will be well-received. “We discussed the FIFA election at our recent board meeting and agreed that the Scottish FA would support Michel Platini’s candidacy.” Platini, who won the Ballon d’Or three times as a player, recently announced his intention to stand in next year’s presidential elections and is thought to have the backing of four of the six FIFA confederations. The 60-year-old former France international was elected as UEFA’s president in 2007, defeating Lennart Johansson who had held the post for the previous 16 years. FIFA has confirmed its elections will take place on February 26, 2016. Platini is favourite to succeed Sepp Blatter, who announced his resignation earlier this year amid allegations of corruption within the sport's world governing body

When I spoke to PSG coach Laurent Blanc he said he'd play me in the position I had for Real Madrid." Maria's international team mate Lionel Messi has been publicly criticised for their failure in the Copa America and Dimaria also had this to say: “The next Copa America is our main goal now,” he added. “People didn't see the state of our dressing room after losing this summer's final – we were destroyed. “We do not want to lose another final. Messi is the most important player to our

How much can u bet on a match?

  When we talk about passion for football, we know that a lot of people are ardent soccer fans and we also understand that the degree of passion varies from one fan to the other. However, this passion was elevated to the height of insanity by Henry Dhabasani and Rashid Yiga of the Iganga district of Eastern Uganda recently. Dhabasani, an arsenal fan, made a ridiculous wager by putting his house on the match and Rashid, a United fan, followed suit by betting with his wife and a car! They even formalised the deal by signing a written agreement in the presence of community leaders in the build-up to the match.Of course the match has come and gone with Dhabasani rendered homeless alongside his three wives and 5 children. United Robin Van Persie 27th minute goal neatly ensured that. Dhabasani was said to have fainted after the match that ended 1 - 0. Imagine what the United fan would have lost too if the outcome of the match had been otherwise, a car and...God have mercy, his w
