Talk:History of FIFA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"He is totally committed to serving Football, FIFA and the World’s youth."

Did Mr Blatter himself add this? What a strange thing to say. At least quote him.

[edit] Israel what?

I quote: "...in 1974 ... João Havelange took over. ... Under his diplomacy, North and South Korea sent a joint team to the 1991 Youth Championship in Portugal, and Israel began competing Internationally."

Well, in 1970 Israel participated in the World Cup. This needs explaining.

  • I believe Israel began competing AGAIN - they couldn't qualify for the World Cup because they weren't in Europe and Arab countries wouldn't allow them in their qualifying pools. Or something like that. But, yes, it needs explaining. This whole article does.Zafiroblue05 23:42, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

This article is paraphrased - perhaps plagiarized - from [1]. This needs more than cleaning up, which I did a little of - it needs a rewrite.
