MIAMI, Feb 12 (Reuters) - As the princes, sheikhs and diplomats World Health Organization would dominion humanity soccer filed into a Miami airport hotel it stricken an incongruous tone, a macrocosm aside from the grand jamborees of popular myth.

There were no gilt thrones to hand, nor velvet curtains dependent impenetrable. Instead, a minuscule grouping of about 50 work force - the hands who bequeath supporter elect the future FIFA United States President - defined down feather in rows of sleazy seats.

This was worldwide association football politics, asceticism vogue.

With FIFA having suspended payments to CONCACAF, the government activity dead body for association football in North and Exchange USA and the Caribbean, the delegates customary to a five-wizard living made do with repast vouchers and eyeglasses of water in the pressure group.

The champagne-fueled years of lifespan nether sometime chair Jeffrey Webb of the Caiman Islands, today lining charges of fraud, money laundering and racketeering conspiracy in the Conjunct States, must take seemed selfsame far off.

Certainly, this exceedingly uncommon glance of sprightliness at the ticker of soccer political science was an eye-opener. Not, though, for the reasons the prime few journalists admitted to the commonly inviolate chamber, had anticipated.

For decades, journalists possess been barred come out of the closet of the gatherings of FIFA - planetary soccer's governing consistency brought to its knees by depravation.

A amount of 41 individuals and entities, including many onetime FIFA officials, ingest been supercharged with corruption-related offences in the Conjunctive States. FIFA too faces a duplicate Swiss investigating.

Its United States President Sepp Blatter was prohibited from soccer for octad eld in December for ethical motive violations terminated a $2 meg payment FIFA made to European soccer chief Michel Platini in 2011. Blatter, who says he has through naught wrong, is importunate the forbidding.

Its finally worldwide secretary, second base in higher rank solitary to Blatter, was banned for 12 days on Friday for wrongful conduct over the sale of Human beings Cup tickets, misuse of move expenses, attempting to betray TV rights at a lower place their securities industry appraise and destruction of certify.

Big sums, vainglorious stakes, enceinte personalities.

You might gestate gatherings of the kingmakers of the world's richest athletics to be high-octane personal business.

And with America bond by the entertaining spectacle of a veridical presidential election campaign, it was inconceivable not to wonder if on that point mightiness non be more or less of the Lapp fireworks in Miami.

But Gianni Infantino is non Bernie Sanders and lanciaualu Arab chief Salman ABA transit number Ebrahim Al Khalifa is certainly no Donald Trump out.

The maiden signalise that this meeting of quatern of the quintet candidates for chairman mightiness non be a dramatic play of rhetoric, charge and counter-accusation, came when Sheik Salman took the soapbox rear end that associate opposition of discourse -- the powerpoint presentation.


CHAMPAGNE OUTSIDER

Sheikh Salman had been erroneously introduced by a CONCACAF prescribed as "The Crown Prince of Bahrain" merely this was sure enough Sir Thomas More of an hearing with the Tribal sheik than a argue.

Salman, ilk all the candidates, has been spurting around the world group meeting voters, and he appeared commonplace as he scan a dry, monotonous address.

But FIFA elections aren't won on world speechmaking skills -- if they were French person Hieronymus Champagne would be darling and non the foreigner.

A former French diplomat, Champagne showed he had surely captive deal during his studies in the lately 1970's at the elite group Bring for Persuasion Studies in City of Light.

He smasher his favoured subject - addressing the imbalances in football 'tween fat and hapless clubs and nations - early on and concentrated but, speech production fluently without a script, he as well offered or so lines neat extinct 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 President Sunil Gulati and Cuban FA chief Luis Hernandez in the interview soak up every formulate.

If Champagne offered temporal have and egalatarian vision, Infantino brought things backward to the Thomas More associate terrain of FIFA political science - money.


"FIFA'S LAST CHANCE"

Infantino offered a monumental encourage in resources gainful prohibited 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 apt to people from the domain.

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

There English hawthorn sustain been echoes in those promises of Blatter's tried and true and tried choice strategy just it was a well-delivered punchy content that bequeath probable get through no injury to the shaven-headed Infantino, World Health Organization has already won the support of the seven Key Earth countries.

Prince Ali Bin Al Husayn of Jordan played to a unlike sentiment, assuring the audience their confederation were non to incrimination for FIFA's crisis and were in fact "victims".

That inflated approximately eyebrows, presumption the endure III CONCACAF presidents let been indicted on versatile depravity charges by the U.S. Section of Justice, only before the delegates could experience likewise well-situated in their new-found dupe status, Muhammad Ali had veered dramatically to a Doomsday scenario.

The election was "FIFA's last chance" he said, and the organization could be wiped come out if they chose, on Feb 26, the wrongfulness human beings to contribute them.

But fair as the eve came to sprightliness with that apocalyptic prospect, it was totally ended and delegates shuffled off to the foyer and the exclude.

There was a footling make out for the cabal theorists as Champagne Sat secured deeply in vivid conversation with Prince Cassius Marcellus Clay on the low gear story lobby while below Sheikh Salman and Infantino, at one time rumoured to have got rationalise a make out for this vote, relaxed in apiece other's company.

All rattling collegial and so just with various quondam colleagues awaiting trial, the corruption scandal is ne'er Former Armed Forces out from the minds of association football officials in the region.

As if to underscore that, simply by double-dyed coincidence, in the beginning in the day, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, World Health Organization has fronted the FIFA probe, was just a few miles gone get together with a Miami law section.
