   Below are FIFA Lies( Mission Statement)

   OUR PROMISE
   For the Game. For the World.
   The world is a place rich in natural beauty and cultural diversity, but also one where many are still deprived of their basic rights. FIFA now has an even greater responsibility to reach out and touch the world, using football as a symbol of hope and integration.
   Only with the unwavering dedication of every FIFA team member, every member association and every business partner can football in all its forms contribute to achieving FIFA’s goals at a high level by protecting standards, encouraging competition and promoting solidarity in the world game.
   For the Game. For the World.
   OUR MISSION
   ‘Develop the game, touch the world, build a better future’.
   Played by millions around the world, football is the heart and soul of FIFA and as the guardian of this most cherished game, we have a great responsibility. This responsibility does not end with organising the FIFA World Cup™ and the various other world cup competitions; it extends to safeguarding the Laws of the Game, developing the game around the world and to bringing hope to those less privileged. This is what we believe is the very essence of fair play and solidarity.
   We see it as our mission to contribute towards building a better future for the world by using the power and popularity of football. This mission gives meaning and direction to each and every activity that FIFA is involved in – football being an integrated part of our society.
   OUR APPROACH
   Develop the game. Improve the game of football constantly and promote it globally in the light of its unifying, educational, cultural and humanitarian values, particularly through youth and development programmes. Football development means investing in people and society at large. Football is a school of life.
   Touch the world. Take world-class football action and passion at all levels to every corner of the planet through our 208 member associations. The broad range of competitions shows the many faces of football, spearheaded by the FIFA World Cup™.
   Build a better future. Football is no longer considered merely a global sport, but also as unifying force whose virtues can make an important contribution to society. We use the power of football as a tool for social and human development, by strengthening the work of dozens of initiatives around the globe to support local communities in the areas of peacebuilding, health, social integration, education and more.
   WHAT WE STAND FOR
   Our core values of authenticity, unity, performance and integrity are at the very heart of who we are.
   Authenticity. We believe that football must remain a simple, beautiful game played by, enjoyed by and touching the lives of all people far and wide
   Unity. We believe it is FIFA´s responsibility to foster unity within the football world and to use football to promote solidarity, regardless of gender, ethnic background, faith or culture
   Performance. We believe that FIFA must strive to deliver football of the highest quality and as the best possible experience, be it as a player, as a spectacle, or as a major cultural and social enabler throughout the world
   Integrity. We believe that, just as the game itself, FIFA must be a model of fair play, tolerance, sportsmanship and transparency
   A CHANCE AND A CHALLENGE
   ‘For the Game. For the World’ reflects the core element of our mission and represents both a chance and a challenge: a chance for us to contribute to making a difference to people´s lives, and a challenge to balance this social element with our traditional competence of overseeing the rules of the game and organising world-class competitions.
   “We see it as our duty to take on the social responsibility that comes hand in hand with our position at the helm of the world’s most loved sport.
   Join us in uniting forces to develop the game, touch the world and build a better future!”

   Joseph S. Blatter

   Im sure that I speak for the majority of the neutrals who witnessed the way Ireland exited the road to South Africa when I say that although the goal was created by foul play, if the Ref. did not see it then it may as well not have been a handball.

   What has been extremely eye opening in the wake of the events in France has been the undignified response of the Irish FA and Irish fans in general. The foggiest notion of a replay is the mind set of a fanciful child. Why should Ireland be afforded special treatment in this or any other circumstances?
   Any rational person who knows the first thing about football understands in a heart beat that games at all levels are decided by these kind of incidents on a weekly basis. Would any sane person suggest replaying every game where there is a controversial incident surrounding a goal?
   Absolutely not.
   Why is it then that the Irish FA have behaved so childishly in a very public way? Football is governed by rules which are never consistently enforced. factors like home advantage are well known for the influence they can have on referees decision making. These random variables actually add to the game we all love. They don’t always fall the way we want them to but when they do go our way we tend to shut up and take them. Surely it should be the same when things go against us.
   As a life long England fan I am really looking forward to the finals next year. England have a great chance of lifting the trophy. As neighbors I am in no doubt that genuine fans of Football from Ireland who support premiership teams will get behind the England national squad in light of Irelands absence and unite behind what will hopefully be another resounding England World Cup Triumph.
   Up The England! right fellas?
