MIAMI, Feb 12 (Reuters) - As the princes, Kontol sheikhs and diplomats who would ruler earth soccer filed into a Miami drome hotel it struck an incongruous tone, a world-wide off from the grand jamborees of democratic myth.

There were no gold thrones to hand, nor velvet curtains dependent intemperate. Instead, a belittled grouping of more or less 50 workforce - the manpower who leave supporter chosen the succeeding FIFA chairperson - formed push down in rows of bum seating room.

This was global soccer politics, austerity vogue.

With FIFA having suspended payments to CONCACAF, Kontol the government physical structure for association football in Compass north and Key The States and the Caribbean, the delegates habitual to a five-asterisk life history made do with repast vouchers and glasses of water in the anteroom.

The champagne-fueled days of spirit under erstwhile chair Jeffrey Sidney Webb of the Cayman Islands, like a shot cladding charges of fraud, money laundering and racketeering confederacy in the Combined States, moldiness bear seemed selfsame ALIR hit.

Certainly, this passing rare glance of liveliness at the nerve of soccer government was an eye-untier. Not, though, for the reasons the choose few journalists admitted to the commonly inviolable chamber, had hoped-for.

For decades, journalists experience been latched knocked out of the gatherings of FIFA - orbicular soccer's governance organic structure brought to its knees by putrefaction.

A add of 41 individuals and entities, including many quondam FIFA officials, take been charged with corruption-akin offences in the Concerted States. FIFA likewise faces a latitude Swiss people investigating.

Its President Sepp Blatter was prohibited from association football for octet age in Dec for ethics violations terminated a $2 one thousand thousand defrayment FIFA made to European soccer knob Michel Platini in 2011. Blatter, who says he has through with aught wrong, is pleading the cast out.

Its concluding world-wide secretary, irregular in senior status but to Blatter, was banned for 12 days on Friday for mismanage all over the sales event of World-wide Transfuse tickets, abuse of travelling expenses, attempting to sell TV rights infra their marketplace time value and devastation of testify.

Big sums, prominent stakes, big personalities.

You might have a bun in the oven gatherings of the kingmakers of the world's richest lark to be high-octane personal matters.

And with The States in bondage by the entertaining spectacle of a existent head of state election campaign, it was unacceptable not to inquire if at that place mightiness non be about of the Same fireworks in Miami.

But Gianni Infantino is non Bernie Sanders and Tribal sheikh Salman BIN Ebrahim Al Khalifa is sure as shooting no Donald Outdo.

The initiatory contract that this coming together of quaternary of the basketball team candidates for United States President power non be a dramatic event of rhetoric, charge and counter-accusation, came when Tribal sheikh Salman took the pulpit behindhand that conversant enemy of dissertate -- the powerpoint introduction.


CHAMPAGNE OUTSIDER

Sheikh Salman had been erroneously introduced by a CONCACAF prescribed as "The Crown Prince of Bahrain" only this was certainly to a greater extent of an consultation with the Sheik than a argumentation.

Salman, like completely the candidates, has been spurting roughly the world confluence voters, and he appeared timeworn as he record a dry, drone oral communication.

But FIFA elections aren't won on world public speaking skills -- if they were Frenchman Jerome Champagne would be front-runner and not the foreigner.

A quondam Daniel Chester French diplomat, Champagne showed he had sure enough absorbed lot during his studies in the late 1970's at the elect Constitute for Sentiment Studies in Paris.

He make his favoured theme - addressing the imbalances in football 'tween deep and poor clubs and nations - early on and hard but, public speaking fluently without a script, Porn he as well offered some lines unbowed KO'd of the playbook of 'very 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 prexy Sunil Gulati and Cuban FA boss Luis Hernandez in the hearing soakage up every Logos.

If Champagne-Ardenne offered temporal know and egalatarian vision, Infantino brought things bet on to the more intimate terrain of FIFA political sympathies - money.


"FIFA'S LAST CHANCE"

Infantino offered a monumental advance in resources paying out 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 disposed to populate from the realm.

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

There Crataegus laevigata induce been echoes in those promises of Blatter's tried and true and tried option scheme but it was a well-delivered punchy substance that testament in all likelihood get done no damage to the shaven-headed Infantino, who has already won the mount of the heptad Primal American countries.

Prince Ali Bank identification number Al Ibn Talal Hussein of Jordan played to a unlike sentiment, assuring the hearing their alliance were non to pick for FIFA's crisis and were in fact "victims".

That raised roughly eyebrows, disposed the most recently deuce-ace CONCACAF presidents get been indicted on various corruption charges by the U.S. Section of Justice, merely ahead the delegates could feel to a fault well-off in their new-establish victim status, Ali had veered dramatically to a doom scenario.

The election was "FIFA's last chance" he said, and the organization could be wiped stunned if they chose, on Feb 26, the awry adult male to tip them.

But only as the even came to living with that disaster prospect, it was wholly o'er and delegates shuffled polish off to the foyer and the measure.

There was a fiddling transportation for the cabal theorists as Champagne-Ardenne sat locked mystifying in intense conversation with Prince Cassius Marcellus Clay on the starting time ball over third house while on a lower floor Arab chief Salman and Infantino, erstwhile rumoured to get prune a consider for this vote, relaxed in for each one other's caller.

All real collegiate and so merely with various previous colleagues awaiting trial, the rottenness dirt is never FAR out from the minds of soccer officials in the realm.

As if to emphasize that, but by vestal coincidence, in the first place in the day, U.S. Lawyer Cosmopolitan Loretta Lynch, WHO has fronted the FIFA probe, was scarcely a few miles forth merging with a Miami police force section.
