AMSTERDAM Terrell Edmunds Jersey , Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- Michael van Praag wants more teams from outside Europe present at the World Cup and aims to implant more strict measures to combat match fixing, the FIFA presidential candidate stated during his presentation on Wednesday at the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam.
"I am looking forward to present you my 'FIFA normalization agenda 2015-2019' next month, but I don't like empty promises. So, for now I unveil some of my intentions," Van Praag said.
If elected as FIFA president his first intention is the enlargement of the World Cup, currently on 32 participating teams. "The football world is better served with a bigger World Cup, with more countries from outside Europe James Conner Jersey , because participation at the World Cup has proven to be good for the development and popularity of football in the participating countries."
Van Praag also promised to cut spending on non-football issues. "Last year a FIFA film cost 20 million euros. That's money that belongs to the associations," he explained.
"Another intention is strict measures to combat match fixing," Van Praag continued. "This is a huge threat to integrity of our sport. Combatting match fixing should be on top of the agenda worldwide."
"Also high on the agenda is transparency of FIFA," he added. "For instance, I think that FIFA should make expenses public. At present expenses are very secret."
The FIFA presidential elections will be held at the 65th FIFA congress in Zurich, which starts on May 29 this year. So far Jerome Champagne, David Ginola JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein of Jordan and Luis Figo also announced the intention to stand against Blatter. "I am also open for a fair debate with other candidates, publicly, broadcasted live," Van Praag added.
For Blatter Van Praag had the following message: "Sepp, you would make yourself immortal if you step aside."
Blatter is clear favorite to get a majority vote by the 209 FIFA member associations and therefor able to start a fifth term as FIFA president. The majority of Africa's 53 FIFA countries support Blatter and he also remains popular in Asia, eastern Europe, South America and most of North and Central America and the Caribbean. Van Praag might be able to get the confidence of most European countries T. J. Watt Jersey , but where else should he get his votes from?
"My intention is to visit key figures of confederations and explain them how I want to do it," Van Praag said. "I want to convince them to support me and my normalization program. I want to convince them I am the right candidate for the whole world. I am looking forward to meeting old friends and listen to them. It is about the future of football, a game to love."
Experiences make you discover new things. Upgrading your television is an elaborative example. A bigger screen, better resolution and throw in a bunch of swanky new features- you get a new universe remodelled right in front of you. The previous day I was watching Dunkirk on my TV. Nolan鈥檚 war masterpiece had a profound impact on me, the way it was filmed, the narration, the plot progression Le'Veon Bell Jersey , etc. While I sadly missed the experience of watching it in a theatre, the notion was completely erased off when I played it in my TCL C6. First things first, it's my first investment on a Smart TV so a massive, massive upgrade from my last Plasma set. What drew me into buying it was its display, and I really pined for a Smart TV for quite some time.
4K- probably the most buzzed term since it came out. I literally felt heckled listening to the term as it was tolling like a bell constantly. So much so, I decided to get a demo, and I was completely blown away. The moment the first visual came in Antonio Brown Jersey , I couldn鈥檛 retreat myself from not buying one. So after a bit of reviewing and expert advice I gifted myself a biggie from C6 series by TCL. It's a 65 inch 4K UHD Smart TV. Right from the moment of unboxing, I sist myself from experiencing it hands-on. In fact, I took an off and on the very first day itself I finished off a long-awaited web series on Netflix. While speaking as that push-to-watch feature in its remote that enables to start the OTT platform right away. Honestly, I found this quite cool since I didn't have to download the app from Google Store which doesn't seem laborious enough, but this is better anyway.
