So Anti English I'm Shocked That It Was Ever Released

This is a film funded by FIFA, about FIFA, of which the English FA is currently a part (as are all national football associations) so I was really shocked to see this official film be so Anti English. I have no problem with being the but of jokes, but this film borders on racism (if being English was indeed a race). The first part of the film is all about how they want to stick it to the English and show them to be racist and sexist, while of course the FIFA members are none of these things.

I take it all with a pinch of salt tho as this isn't actually a "film" or a "movie" its a propaganda piece and even at that it is done badly. The writing is terrible, and there is no real semblance of a storyline that could ever grip anyone. I just watched it to see how bad it could really be... and the answer is "yep, its really bad".

Well the FA codified the game, and ran it. FIFA was about taking it away from the English, and they have had a chip on their shoulder ever since, as shown by the outrageous abuse the British Media got for pointing out all the corruption in FIFA

that all turned out to be true...

its just another way of covering their tracks (badly) but discrediting the nation pointing out all the corruption in the first place.
