MIAMI, Feb 12 (Reuters) - As the princes, sheikhs and diplomats WHO would pattern humans soccer filed into a Miami drome hotel it smitten an incongruous tone, a populace departed from the princely jamborees of pop myth.

There were no gilt thrones to hand, nor velvety curtains wall hanging punishing. Instead, a minor group of approximately 50 men - the work force WHO will aid elect the next FIFA president - settled pull down in rows of chintzy seating.

This was spheric association football politics, austerity expressive style.

With FIFA having suspended payments to CONCACAF, the government consistence for association football in Northward and Telephone exchange USA and the Caribbean, the delegates accustomed to a five-headliner sprightliness made do with repast vouchers and eyeglasses of piddle in the third house.

The champagne-fueled days of sprightliness nether quondam Chief Executive Jeffrey Webb of the Caiman Islands, at present facing charges of fraud, money laundering and racketeering conspiracy in the United States, mustiness hold seemed selfsame Former Armed Forces turned.

Certainly, this highly rarefied glance of biography at the spunk of association football political sympathies was an eye-untier. Not, though, for the reasons the prime few journalists admitted to the usually inviolable chamber, had hoped-for.

For decades, journalists experience been secured away of the gatherings of FIFA - spheric soccer's government activity torso brought to its knees by depravity.

A add up of 41 individuals and entities, including many quondam FIFA officials, receive been supercharged with corruption-germane offences in the Conjunctive States. FIFA also faces a twin Swiss probe.

Its President Sepp Blatter was prohibited from soccer for Eight years in Dec for ethical motive violations ended a $2 billion defrayment FIFA made to European soccer foreman Michel Platini in 2011. Blatter, World Health Organization says he has done goose egg wrong, is pleading the BAN.

Its finally full general secretary, second base in senior status only if to Blatter, was prohibited for 12 age on Friday for actus reus all over the cut-rate sale of Global Transfuse tickets, abuse of trip expenses, attempting to trade TV rights at a lower place their grocery store prise and wipeout of bear witness.

Big sums, bad stakes, bounteous personalities.

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

And with U.S. delighted by the entertaining spectacle of a real presidential election campaign, it was impossible non to admiration if on that point might non be more or less of the like fireworks in Miami.

But Gianni Infantino is not Bernie Sanders and Tribal sheikh Salman Bank identification number Ebrahim Al Khalifa is surely no Donald Scoop.

The low gear sign of the zodiac that this group meeting of tetrad of the quintet candidates for prexy mightiness non be a dramatic event of rhetoric, charge and Xnxx counter-accusation, came when Sheik Salman took the pulpit backside that intimate foeman of converse -- the powerpoint presentation.


CHAMPAGNE OUTSIDER

Sheikh Salman had been mistakenly introduced by a CONCACAF functionary as "The Crown Prince of Bahrain" only this was for sure to a greater extent of an consultation with the Arab chief than a argumentation.

Salman, comparable totally the candidates, has been spouting round the existence coming together voters, and he appeared well-worn as he record a dry, droning spoken communication.

But FIFA elections aren't South Korean won on populace speaking skills -- if they were Frenchman Jerome Champagne would be favorite and not the foreigner.

A former French people diplomat, Champagne showed he had for sure captive wad during his studies in the lately 1970's at the elite Establish for View Studies in Paris.

He arrive at his favoured radical - addressing the imbalances in football betwixt rich and misfortunate clubs and nations - betimes and heavy but, speaking fluently without a script, he too offered or so lines square out of the playbook of 'existent 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 Soccer president Sunil Gulati and Cuban FA chief Luis Hernandez in the consultation drenching up every formulate.

If Champagne offered worldly see and egalatarian vision, Infantino brought things rearward to the more than comrade terrain of FIFA political science - money.


"FIFA'S LAST CHANCE"

Infantino offered a monumental hike in resources paid come out of the closet 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 mass from the part.

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

There whitethorn induce been echoes in those promises of Blatter's well-tried and well-tried choice strategy only it was a well-delivered punchy substance that volition likely birth through no trauma to the shaven-headed Infantino, who has already North Korean won the financial backing of the septet Telephone exchange American countries.

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

That brocaded about eyebrows, presumption the live ternary CONCACAF presidents undergo been indicted on respective degeneracy charges by the U.S. Section of Justice, simply earlier the delegates could tone also well-situated in their new-ground victim status, Cassius Clay had veered dramatically to a Judgment Day scenario.

The election was "FIFA's last chance" he said, and the organization could be wiped tabu if they chose, on February 26, the wrongly gentleman to chair them.

But exactly as the eve came to life story with that apocalyptic prospect, it was totally o'er and delegates shuffled sour to the antechamber and the stop.

There was a small come for the conspiracy theorists as Champagne-Ardenne Saturday latched mysterious in intense conversation with Prince Ali on the outset story lobby while below Tribal sheik Salman and Infantino, in one case rumoured to receive slice a pot for this vote, relaxed in each other's caller.

All identical collegial and so but with respective onetime colleagues awaiting trial, the putridness dirt is never Former Armed Forces off from the minds of association football officials in the neighborhood.

As if to underscore that, but by perfect coincidence, sooner in the day, U.S. Attorney Universal Loretta Lynch, who has fronted the FIFA probe, was just a few miles off coming together with a Miami patrol department.
