Premier League chief Scudamore: Difficult to be FIFA fan

Premier League chief Peter Scudamore admits it's difficult not to be a critic of FIFA.

FIFA's reputation is at its lowest after a year of controversy.

Scudamore told talkSPORT: "FIFA have had their difficulties, it's very hard to have huge regard for the institution the way it's performed in the last couple of years.

"Whilst one has to have a working dialogue with everyone in football and whilst I take part, I think I'm a constructive critic of what they do."

Scudamore also gave short shrift to the prospect of the 2022 World Cup being switched to winter because of the oppressive summer temperatures in host nation Qatar.

"All sorts of gloves would come off, it's just a ludicrous prospect," he said. "All leagues across the world are used to this pattern."
