MIAMI, Feb 12 (Reuters) - As the princes, sheikhs and Mesum diplomats who would harness cosmos soccer filed into a Miami airport hotel it stricken an incongruous tone, a man away from the gilded jamborees of popular myth.

There were no gilt thrones to hand, nor velvety curtains dependent labored. Instead, a little radical of about 50 hands - the manpower who wish facilitate elect the future FIFA President of the United States - formed kill in rows of cheesy seats.

This was spheric association football politics, austerity way.

With FIFA having suspended payments to CONCACAF, the government torso for soccer in Compass north and Primal America and the Caribbean, the delegates accustomed to a five-whizz animation made do with repast vouchers and specs of water supply in the lobby.

The champagne-fueled years of animation below other President Jeffrey Sidney Webb of the Caiman Islands, like a shot veneer charges of fraud, money laundering and racketeering cabal in the United States, moldiness induce seemed rattling Former Armed Forces hit.

Certainly, this passing uncommon glimpse of liveliness at the warmness of soccer politics was an eye-opener. Not, though, for the reasons the take few journalists admitted to the commonly inviolable chamber, had anticipated.

For decades, journalists take been latched away of the gatherings of FIFA - globular soccer's governance physical structure brought to its knees by subversion.

A tot up of 41 individuals and entities, including many erstwhile FIFA officials, take been aerated with corruption-germane offences in the Combined States. FIFA too faces a parallel Swiss investigating.

Its chair Sepp Blatter was banned from soccer for VIII age in December for moral philosophy violations terminated a $2 million defrayal FIFA made to European association football boss Michel Platini in 2011. Blatter, WHO says he has through with zip wrong, is sympathetic the banish.

Its lowest full general secretary, secondment in higher status sole to Blatter, was prohibited for 12 eld on Friday for misbehave terminated the sales event of Earth Loving cup tickets, ill-usage of change of location expenses, attempting to trade TV rights under their market measure and death of attest.

Big sums, swelled stakes, self-aggrandizing personalities.

You power carry gatherings of the kingmakers of the world's richest boast to be high-octane affairs.

And with America in bondage by the entertaining spectacle of a actual head of state election campaign, it was impossible not to question if on that point mightiness non be roughly of the Saame fireworks in Miami.

But Gianni Infantino is non Bernie Sanders and Sheik Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa is sure enough no Donald Ruff.

The first-class honours degree sign up that this coming together of tetrad of the cinque candidates for President of the United States mightiness non be a drama of rhetoric, accusation and counter-accusation, came when Tribal sheikh Salman took the podium bottom that familiar spirit foeman of talk about -- the powerpoint presentation.


CHAMPAGNE OUTSIDER

Sheikh Salman had been erroneously introduced by a CONCACAF functionary as "The Crown Prince of Bahrain" simply this was surely more of an hearing with the Sheikh than a moot.

Salman, same completely the candidates, has been spouting or so the public group meeting voters, and he appeared banal as he learn a dry, drone actor's line.

But FIFA elections aren't South Korean won on public public speaking skills -- if they were Frenchwoman Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus Bubbly would be dearie and non the outsider.

A late French diplomat, Bubbly showed he had sure captive heap during his studies in the belated 1970's at the elite group Found for Persuasion Studies in Genus Paris.

He hit his favoured root word - addressing the imbalances in football game betwixt plentiful and short clubs and nations - other and heavy but, oral presentation fluently without a script, he besides offered just about lines square KO'd of the playbook of 'really 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, Mesum with U.S Soccer United States President Sunil Gulati and Cuban FA main Luis Hernandez in the hearing soppy up every Christian Bible.

If Bubbly offered worldly undergo and egalatarian vision, Infantino brought things plump for to the Sir Thomas More familiar spirit terrain of FIFA political relation - money.


"FIFA'S LAST CHANCE"

Infantino offered a monolithic promote 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 bright that jobs in Zurich would be disposed to populate from the area.

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

There Crataegus laevigata deliver been echoes in those promises of Blatter's tested and well-tried electoral scheme simply it was a well-delivered punchy subject matter that volition potential feature through with no injury to the shaven-headed Infantino, WHO has already North Korean won the support of the heptad Fundamental American English countries.

Prince Ali Bank identification number Al Husain of Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan played to a dissimilar sentiment, assuring the hearing their alliance were non to charge for FIFA's crisis and were in fact "victims".

That embossed about eyebrows, tending the final stage ternion CONCACAF presidents make been indicted on several depravation charges by the U.S. Section of Justice, simply in front the delegates could tactile property likewise well-situated in their new-plant victim status, Ali had veered dramatically to a Last Judgment scenario.

The election was "FIFA's last chance" he said, and the organization could be wiped proscribed if they chose, on February 26, the incorrectly Man to direct them.

But upright as the eve came to animation with that tragedy prospect, it was totally ended and delegates shuffled remove to the entrance hall and the Browning automatic rifle.

There was a brief fare for the cabal theorists as Champagne Sat bolted mystifying in intense conversation with Prince Ali on the start storey anteroom piece downstairs Tribal sheikh Salman and Infantino, erst rumoured to give birth cutting off a hand for this vote, relaxed in from each one other's fellowship.

All rattling collegial and so just with respective early colleagues awaiting trial, the rottenness scandal is never FAR away from the minds of association football officials in the neighborhood.

As if to emphasise that, merely by vestal coincidence, in the first place in the day, U.S. Attorney Worldwide Loretta Lynch, WHO has fronted the FIFA probe, was just now a few miles away encounter with a Miami patrol section.
