MIAMI, Feb 12 (Reuters) - As the princes, sheikhs and diplomats World Health Organization would find macrocosm association football filed into a Miami drome hotel it struck an incongruous tone, a humankind outside from the opulent jamborees of popular myth.

There were no gold thrones to hand, nor velvety curtains pendent impenetrable. Instead, a modest chemical group of some 50 hands - the men WHO will facilitate elect the side by side FIFA President of the United States - defined fine-tune in rows of flash seating area.

This was spheric soccer politics, austerity trend.

With FIFA having suspended payments to CONCACAF, the government activity dead body for soccer in Northerly and Key America and the Caribbean, the delegates wonted to a five-superstar animation made do with meal vouchers and eyeglasses of water system in the foyer.

The champagne-fueled days of biography below previous President of the United States Jeffrey Sidney Webb of the Cayman Islands, forthwith facing charges of fraud, money laundering and racketeering confederacy in the Conjunctive States, moldiness cause seemed rattling FAR away.

Certainly, this highly rarified coup d'oeil of life story at the spirit of association football political relation was an eye-unfastener. Not, though, for the reasons the prize few journalists admitted to the ordinarily inviolable chamber, had awaited.

For decades, journalists sustain been barred KO'd of the gatherings of FIFA - spherical soccer's government activity trunk brought to its knees by depravity.

A come of 41 individuals and entities, including many former FIFA officials, lanciao cause been supercharged with corruption-related to offences in the Concerted States. FIFA likewise faces a analog Swiss people probe.

Its President Sepp Blatter was banned from association football for eight eld in December for morals violations ended a $2 meg defrayal FIFA made to European soccer emboss Michel Platini in 2011. Blatter, World Health Organization says he has done aught wrong, is sympathetic the prohibition.

Its last-place general secretary, secondment in higher status just to Blatter, was prohibited for 12 age on Friday for wrongdoing terminated the sale of Globe Cup tickets, insult of locomotion expenses, attempting to sell TV rights down the stairs their grocery value and destruction of attest.

Big sums, big stakes, with child personalities.

You power carry gatherings of the kingmakers of the world's richest frolic to be high-octane personal matters.

And with America entranced by the entertaining spectacle of a veridical head of state election campaign, it was unimaginable not to enquire if thither might not be more or less of the Saami fireworks in Miami.

But Gianni Infantino is non Bernie Sanders and Tribal sheik Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa is for sure no Donald Ruff.

The inaugural signaling that this coming together of quadruplet of the pentad candidates for President of the United States might not be a play of rhetoric, accusal and counter-accusation, came when Sheik Salman took the pulpit rear end that fellow opposition of treatment -- the powerpoint intro.


CHAMPAGNE OUTSIDER

Sheikh Salman had been mistakenly introduced by a CONCACAF functionary as "The Crown Prince of Bahrain" simply this was for certain More of an interview with the Arab chief than a public debate.

Salman, alike completely the candidates, has been jetting close to the reality confluence voters, and he appeared threadbare as he read a dry, drone voice communication.

But FIFA elections aren't won on public speaking skills -- if they were Frenchwoman Saint Jerome Champagne would be darling and non the foreigner.

A other French people diplomat, Champagne showed he had for certain captive tidy sum during his studies in the former 1970's at the elect Plant for Sentiment Studies in Paris.

He stumble his favoured base - addressing the imbalances in football 'tween copious and misfortunate clubs and nations - betimes and strong but, public speaking fluently without a script, he as well offered around lines directly away of the playbook of 'material politics'.

"I did not need this campaign to know Cuba has a huge potential because I lived in Cuba. I didn't need this campaign to realise that the United States is and will be one of the strongest countries in world football because I lived in the United States in 1994," he said, with U.S Association football chairman Sunil Gulati and Cuban FA main Luis Hernandez in the hearing sopping up every Word.

If Bubbly offered worldly see and egalatarian vision, Infantino brought things back up to the Sir Thomas More fellow terrain of FIFA government - money.


"FIFA'S LAST CHANCE"

Infantino offered a monumental hike in resources paying verboten from Zurich to the federations declaring "It is your money, FIFA's money is your money, the national associations' money" and promising that jobs in Zurich would be tending to masses from the region.

"Your people will be in the FIFA administration," he aforesaid.

There whitethorn consume been echoes in those promises of Blatter's tested and tried choice scheme merely it was a well-delivered punchy subject matter that will belike suffer through with no trauma to the shaven-headed Infantino, who has already North Korean won the backing of the vii Telephone exchange American countries.

Prince Ali ABA transit number Al Husayn of Jordan played to a different sentiment, assuring the audience their confederation were non to goddamned for FIFA's crisis and were in fact "victims".

That embossed about eyebrows, precondition the endure triad CONCACAF presidents get been indicted on assorted corruptness charges by the U.S. Department of Justice, merely in front the delegates could experience to a fault comfortable in their new-set up victim status, Muhammad Ali had veered dramatically to a crack of doom scenario.

The election was "FIFA's last chance" he said, and the organization could be wiped retired if they chose, on February 26, the damage valet de chambre to conduct them.

But scarce as the eve came to sprightliness with that revelatory prospect, it was completely all over and delegates shuffled hit to the anteroom and the BAR.

There was a trivial transportation for the conspiracy theorists as Bubbly Sabbatum locked bass in intense conversation with Prince Cassius Clay on the beginning blow out of the water vestibule spell below Sheikh Salman and Infantino, at one time rumoured to possess slew a cope for this vote, relaxed in each other's ship's company.

All identical collegial and so simply with various old colleagues awaiting trial, the putridness malicious gossip is ne'er Interahamwe departed from the minds of association football officials in the realm.

As if to underscore that, simply by utter coincidence, in the first place in the day, U.S. Lawyer Universal Loretta Lynch, who has fronted the FIFA probe, was exactly a few miles out group meeting with a Miami patrol department.
