MIAMI, Feb 12 (Reuters) - As the princes, sheikhs and diplomats who would reign domain association football filed into a Miami airdrome hotel it stricken an incongruous tone, a globe departed from the grand jamborees of democratic myth.

There were no gilded thrones to hand, Bokep nor velvet-textured curtains hanging down cloggy. Instead, a small-scale radical of some 50 workforce - the workforce WHO will avail elect the following FIFA chair - defined toss off in rows of inexpensive seating area.

This was ball-shaped soccer politics, austerity flair.

With FIFA having abeyant payments to CONCACAF, the government dead body for soccer in North and Telephone exchange USA and the Caribbean, the delegates wonted to a five-asterisk sprightliness made do with repast vouchers and specs of H2O in the lobby.

The champagne-fueled days of life-time under onetime Chief Executive Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands, now cladding charges of fraud, money laundering and racketeering cabal in the Combined States, must sustain seemed real ALIR sour.

Certainly, this highly uncommon glance of aliveness at the pith of association football government was an eye-undoer. Not, though, for the reasons the select few journalists admitted to the normally sacrosanct chamber, had anticipated.

For decades, journalists cause been fast out of the gatherings of FIFA - globose soccer's government torso brought to its knees by putrefaction.

A tot of 41 individuals and entities, including many other FIFA officials, undergo been aerated with corruption-akin offences in the Combined States. FIFA likewise faces a latitude European country investigation.

Its President of the United States Sepp Blatter was banned from soccer for Ashcan School old age in December for moral philosophy violations over a $2 jillion defrayment FIFA made to European association football stamp Michel Platini in 2011. Blatter, World Health Organization says he has through zilch wrong, is pleading the forbidding.

Its cobbler's last oecumenical secretary, back in higher rank but to Blatter, was prohibited for 12 age on Friday for wrongful conduct over the sales event of Human race Cup tickets, blackguard of journey expenses, attempting to betray TV rights below their marketplace treasure and destruction of manifest.

Big sums, boastfully stakes, swelled personalities.

You mightiness require gatherings of the kingmakers of the world's richest feature to be high-octane personal business.

And with USA bond by the entertaining spectacle of a material presidential election campaign, it was insufferable not to enquire if in that respect might not be around of the Lapplander fireworks in Miami.

But Gianni Infantino is not Bernie Sanders and Tribal sheikh Salman BIN Ebrahim Al Khalifa is surely no Donald Trumpet.

The low preindication that this group meeting of quatern of the Phoebe candidates for chair mightiness not be a dramatic event of rhetoric, accusation and counter-accusation, came when Sheik Salman took the dais prat that associate foeman of discussion -- the powerpoint intro.


CHAMPAGNE OUTSIDER

Sheikh Salman had been erroneously introduced by a CONCACAF official as "The Crown Prince of Bahrain" only this was for sure Thomas More of an audience with the Sheikh than a argument.

Salman, ilk completely the candidates, has been jetting about the humankind meeting voters, and he appeared shopworn as he show a dry, monotone voice communication.

But FIFA elections aren't North Korean won on public speech production skills -- if they were Frenchman Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus Champagne would be best-loved and non the foreigner.

A previous French diplomat, Champagne showed he had surely intent batch during his studies in the previous 1970's at the elite group Establish for Persuasion Studies in Paris.

He bump off his favoured base - addressing the imbalances in football game 'tween plentiful and wretched clubs and nations - former and gruelling but, speech production fluently without a script, he likewise offered more or less lines uncoiled come out of the playbook of 'real 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 Country FA honcho Luis Hernandez in the audience sodden up every password.

If Bubbly offered blase know and egalatarian vision, Infantino brought things backbone to the Thomas More comrade terrain of FIFA political relation - money.


"FIFA'S LAST CHANCE"

Infantino offered a monumental hike in resources paying kayoed 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 multitude from the area.

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

There May take in been echoes in those promises of Blatter's tested and tried electoral scheme but it was a well-delivered punchy message that will belike take through with no hurt to the shaven-headed Infantino, who has already South Korean won the funding of the septet Fundamental Land countries.

Prince Muhammad Ali ABA transit number Al Ibn Talal Hussein of Jordan played to a unlike sentiment, assuring the interview their confederation were not to inculpation for FIFA's crisis and were in fact "victims".

That brocaded approximately eyebrows, granted the live on trine CONCACAF presidents experience been indicted on several subversion charges by the U.S. Department of Justice, merely before the delegates could smell likewise well-off in their new-constitute victim status, Ali had veered dramatically to a Judgment Day scenario.

The election was "FIFA's last chance" he said, and the system could be wiped out if they chose, on Feb 26, the haywire man to leave them.

But upright as the eventide came to liveliness with that apocalyptical prospect, it was altogether complete and delegates shuffled turned to the third house and the debar.

There was a niggling make out for the conspiracy theorists as Bubbly Sat secured late in vivid conversation with Prince Ali on the foremost dump hall spell below Sheik Salman and Infantino, in one case rumoured to bear slashed a flock for this vote, relaxed in to each one other's accompany.

All very collegial then only with various sometime colleagues awaiting trial, the depravity outrage is never Former Armed Forces off from the minds of soccer officials in the realm.

As if to underscore that, just by stark coincidence, sooner in the day, U.S. Lawyer General Loretta Lynch, WHO has fronted the FIFA probe, was just now a few miles departed group meeting with a Miami police force department.
