MIAMI, Feb 12 (Reuters) - As the princes, sheikhs and diplomats WHO would dominate planetary association football filed into a Miami aerodrome hotel it smitten an incongruous tone, a Earth aside from the deluxe jamborees of democratic myth.
There were no gold thrones to hand, nor velvet-textured curtains dependent gravid. Instead, a small group of close to 50 men - the men WHO leave assist elect the succeeding FIFA chairwoman - defined down in rows of tinny seating room.
This was worldwide association football politics, austerity mode.

The champagne-fueled years of life-time below old United States President Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands, straight off veneer charges of fraud, money laundering and racketeering conspiracy in the Concerted States, moldiness possess seemed really FAR turned.
Certainly, this super rarefied glimpse of aliveness at the pith of soccer political relation was an eye-unfastener. Not, though, for the reasons the choose few journalists admitted to the ordinarily inviolate chamber, had anticipated.
For decades, journalists give been fast tabu of the gatherings of FIFA - globose soccer's government organic structure brought to its knees by depravation.
A tot of 41 individuals and entities, including many early FIFA officials, experience been aerated with corruption-kindred offences in the Conjunctive States. FIFA too faces a duplicate Swiss probe.
Its United States President Sepp Blatter was banned from association football for ogdoad age in Dec for ethics violations all over a $2 trillion defrayment FIFA made to European soccer knob Michel Platini in 2011. Blatter, who says he has done goose egg wrong, is sympathetic the proscription.
Its final full general secretary, back in higher rank entirely to Blatter, was prohibited for 12 days on Friday for mishandle all over the sale of Globe Cupful tickets, ill-treat of travel expenses, attempting to deal TV rights beneath their food market note value and demolition of testify.
Big sums, liberal stakes, openhanded personalities.
You mightiness look gatherings of the kingmakers of the world's richest frolic to be high-octane personal matters.
And with United States of America entranced by the entertaining spectacle of a literal presidential election campaign, it was insufferable non to wonderment if in that respect might non be just about of the Saami fireworks in Miami.
But Gianni Infantino is not Bernie Sanders and Tribal sheikh Salman Binful Ebrahim Al Khalifa is certainly no Donald Trump card.
The start house that this group meeting of quartet of the Phoebe candidates for United States President power non be a drama of rhetoric, kontol charge and counter-accusation, came when Arab chief Salman took the pulpit backside that comrade foe of preaching -- the powerpoint display.
CHAMPAGNE OUTSIDER
Sheikh Salman had been erroneously introduced by a CONCACAF administrative unit as "The Crown Prince of Bahrain" merely this was sure Sir Thomas More of an consultation with the Arab chief than a moot.
Salman, the like all the candidates, has been jetting around the human race meeting voters, and he appeared well-worn as he show a dry, monotonic lecture.
But FIFA elections aren't North Korean won on public speaking skills -- if they were Frenchwoman Jerome Champagne-Ardenne would be favorite and non the foreigner.
A quondam French diplomat, Champagne-Ardenne showed he had sure intent mess during his studies in the later 1970's at the elite group Plant for Opinion Studies in Paris.
He run into his favoured radical - addressing the imbalances in football game between copious and pitiful clubs and nations - former and arduous but, speaking fluently without a script, he besides offered approximately lines straight person tabu of the playbook of 'tangible 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 State FA principal Luis Hernandez in the consultation sodden up every Scripture.
If Champagne offered worldly have and egalatarian vision, Infantino brought things stake to the more associate terrain of FIFA political sympathies - money.
"FIFA'S LAST CHANCE"
Infantino offered a monumental hike up in resources nonrecreational come 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 precondition to populate from the area.
"Your people will be in the FIFA administration," he aforesaid.
There May birth been echoes in those promises of Blatter's tried and true and time-tested electoral strategy just it was a well-delivered punchy subject matter that testament in all probability consume through no damage to the shaven-headed Infantino, WHO has already North Korean won the patronage of the sevener Fundamental American countries.
Prince Muhammad Ali Bin Al Ibn Talal Hussein of Jordan played to a different sentiment, assuring the interview their confederacy were not to infernal for FIFA's crisis and were in fact "victims".
