I’m not a fan of football in general but the moment they start dismissing the rules under government pressure is the moment they lose all what’s left of their little credibility.
FIFA is corrupt to the bone, but until now it stayed away from corrupting the game itself, at least officially. There are plenty of dodgy cases with referees and inconsistent applications of the rules, but so far this never extrapolated to interference by the organisers themselves.
