UEFA宣布抵制世界杯震惊足坛 各方反应热烈

UEFA集体威胁抵制未来所有FIFA赛事,引发了各方截然不同的反应。

詹尼·因凡蒂诺提出出售男女世界杯商业版权的争议性方案遭到广泛反对——尽管部分人士质疑其影响是否真如许多人所说的那般严重。UEFA随即采取强硬立场,并正式承诺:若因凡蒂诺的私有化计划付诸实施,将退出世界足球管理机构旗下的所有赛事。

欧洲足球各协会联合体将该方案的秘密炮制过程定性为"不负责任且无可辩护",警告称其对私人投资者的依赖将使足球"永远"改变。"有些事情太重要,不能出售,"声明最后写道。然而,并非所有人都持相同立场。

"UEFA做得好"

亚历山大·切费林站在世界杯标志前。

许多人立即表达了支持。在两大组织持续紧张的关系中,UEFA几乎从不放过任何机会向FIFA发出措辞强硬的声明。在刚刚结束的男子世界杯期间,双方之间的小动作不断——索马里裁判奥马尔·阿尔坦因被拒绝入境美国,随后被任命执法即将举行的UEFA超级杯,此事尤为引人注目。

然而,强硬的言辞鲜少转化为实质行动。即便是UEFA此前扬言抵制世界杯,也遭到不少人的质疑,认为不会有任何实质性举措跟进。如今付诸行动,该组织赢得了一些真正的认可。

Good on UEFA nations - proposing to boycott is the only way to undercut these grim plans of Infantino. They are the most powerful confederation for global appeal. Hope it causes this gross charade to fall on its arse.

All 55 UEFA countries have voted to support a World Cup boycott in response to Infantino's stake sale. What's a global tournament without the Europeans worth? Significantly less.

Infantino's scheme is effectively dead.

There is no World Cup without Europe.

No one is going to tune in to watch Brazil and Argentina pound the rest of the world.

UEFA is still the prime commercial draw. https://t.co/uSAD99UI20

与早期的UEFA相比,这一点尤为值得关注,因为那时的UEFA与FIFA之间有着错综复杂的历史纠葛。

Platini would've taken the money and run. I'm not used to this.

然而,并非所有人都信服。

质疑者的声音

Its funny that this "boycott the World Cup" story started right after the WC ended, because everyone knows no country will boycott the World Cup & they will eventually come to an 'agreement' and they'll play in WC 2030 😂

You know it, I know it, FIFA knows it and UEFA knows it. https://t.co/pjwH9l0sJ0

尽管措辞强硬的公开声明对许多人来说是一种反抗姿态,但另一些人仍在等待切实证据,以证明这一威胁将真正付诸实施。

boycott is gonna be like 3 days and afterwards everyone is gonna forget about it https://t.co/kxdgBrmEms pic.twitter.com/PQQyBAVzvt

Boycotting the World Cup 4 years before it happens is very brave https://t.co/3sV2P3qMPU

然而,那些将2030年男子世界杯视为检验UEFA承诺唯一标准的人,忽视了几个更为紧迫的近期关键时间节点。

值得关注的关键时间节点

正如部分人士迅速指出的那样,FIFA女子U-20世界杯将于9月5日开幕,届时将有六支欧洲球队参赛:法国、意大利、英格兰、葡萄牙、西班牙以及东道主波兰。

Women's U20 World Cup is being hosted by Poland and features 6 European teams.

First match in 37 days.

Then the Women's World Cup Uefa playoffs, featuring England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, in October.

Followed by Women's U17 World Cup in October (5 European). https://t.co/1xOnrQF7Ex

围绕这项赛事,有一个耐人寻味的复杂因素:赛事开幕时间早于因凡蒂诺自行设定的截止日期。本周早些时候曝光的一封泄露信件显示,全部211个协会须在9月19日前表态——是支持将FIFA旗舰赛事商业版权出售给美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的姻亲并获得4000万美元,还是维持现有每年约200万美元的安排。

正如许多人所指出的,各方目光现在都将聚焦于FIFA如何回应这一僵局。

Would be fascinating/terrifying if FIFA crack on and really test UEFA's bottle on boycotting women's World Cup. No exaggeration to say that would have a calamitous impact on player's livelihoods through no fault of their own.

甚至有人认为,UEFA可能误判了自身的处境。

What happens if FIFA goes ahead with their plan, sell part of the World Cup to investors and now that European nations aren't involved the payoff to football associations across the globe skyrockets, making it even more tempting? UEFA have walked into a trap?
