details details.. if you ask the Ethiopian crowd, they will say it was because FIFA wanted to stick it to Meles (and honestly, who doesn't?!) but I think that using futbol as a bully pulpit is counter-productive to the kind of unity building which FIFA can and likes to do..
btw, honestly and sincerely thank you for having an intelligent conversation about this issue, so many of my threads have been destroyed lately I am reverting only to communicating in sound bytes
