MUST READ: Eric #Cantona: Fifa’s corruption divides Brazilian football from its roots theguardian/football/2014/may/26/eric-cantona-fifa-qatar-world-cup-brazil It will surprise precisely no one who has taken even a passing interest in his life and career, but Eric Cantona is no great fan of football’s governing bodies. Having recently returned from Rio de Janeiro, where he has been making a documentary about Brazilian football and politics that will receive its UK premiere at Amnesty International’s Sidelines film festival next month, he has a jaundiced view of Fifa’s modus operandi.
