The English FA and Lord Triesman, their ex-chairman, have received a scathing attack from the Brazilian Football head. The Football Association was branded by Ricardo Teixeira as pirates and he vowed that while he was in FIFA he would make their life as miserable as possible.
The Brazilian has become incensed at Lord Triesman for his accusations following the World Cup 2018/22 bidding war. Triesman suggested that Teixeira demanded to receive incentives for his votes during which time England eventually lost. Teixeira was cleared last May in a FIFA probe but is not ready just yet to forget and forgive.
Fabio Capello national coach and Alex Horne the general secretary of the FA will surely receive a cold reception upon arrival Thursday in Brazil for the qualifying drawing for the 2014 World Cup.
He said he will make their lives a living hell and while he is with FIFA at the Brazilian FA/CBF the English will not get a foot in the door. He has been quoted as saying the islanders, a name he refers to British with, are pirates just a bunch of pirates.
He says the accusations by Lord Triesman were complete nonsense. He feels the English are just upset since they lost. He says why not look me in eye and tell me I tried to do something as stupid as trying to get a bribe right there in the stands in front of everyone. For over the past two decades Teixeira has been on the executive committee of FIFA and will run as president in 2015 when Sepp Blatter ends his reign.
