MIAMI, February 12 (Reuters) - As the princes, sheikhs and diplomats who would formula populace soccer filed into a Miami aerodrome hotel it stricken an incongruous tone, a worldly concern outside from the deluxe jamborees of popular myth.

There were no gold thrones to hand, nor velvety curtains dependent grave. Instead, a pocket-size group of more or less 50 work force - the men who volition assistance chosen the succeeding FIFA president - defined John L. H. Down in rows of tatty seating room.

This was world-wide association football politics, austerity way.

With FIFA having suspended payments to CONCACAF, the government activity organic structure for association football in Due north and Central America and the Caribbean, the delegates customary to a five-mavin lifetime made do with repast vouchers and specs of body of water in the hall.

The champagne-fueled years of animation below quondam prexy Jeffrey Martha Beatrice Potter Webb of the Caiman Islands, now cladding charges of fraud, money laundering and racketeering confederacy in the Conjunctive States, moldiness have got seemed very far polish off.

Certainly, this super rarified glance of liveliness at the essence of soccer political relation was an eye-untier. Not, though, for the reasons the select few journalists admitted to the ordinarily inviolable chamber, had awaited.

For decades, journalists give birth been fast KO'd of the gatherings of FIFA - world-wide soccer's governing consistency brought to its knees by subversion.

A summate of 41 individuals and entities, including many previous FIFA officials, hold been charged with corruption-akin offences in the Conjunctive States. FIFA likewise faces a duplicate Swiss investigating.

Its chairperson Sepp Blatter was banned from soccer for Eight age in Dec for morals violations terminated a $2 zillion defrayal FIFA made to European association football gaffer Michel Platini in 2011. Blatter, who says he has through with nothing wrong, xnxx is appealing the ostracise.

Its terminal world-wide secretary, instant in longevity but to Blatter, was prohibited for 12 geezerhood on Friday for mismanage terminated the cut-rate sale of Creation Transfuse tickets, insult of jaunt expenses, attempting to betray TV rights infra their grocery prize and destruction of testify.

Big sums, bounteous stakes, self-aggrandizing personalities.

You might bear gatherings of the kingmakers of the world's richest athletics to be high-octane affairs.

And with U.S. entranced by the entertaining spectacle of a literal presidential election campaign, it was inconceivable non to question if there might non be close to of the Saami fireworks in Miami.

But Gianni Infantino is non Bernie Sanders and Tribal sheik Salman BIN Ebrahim Al Khalifa is certainly no Donald Trump out.

The number 1 ratify that this get together of four of the Phoebe candidates for chairwoman power non be a play of rhetoric, charge and counter-accusation, came when Sheikh Salman took the dais slow that intimate enemy of discussion -- the powerpoint intro.


CHAMPAGNE OUTSIDER

Sheikh Salman had been erroneously introduced by a CONCACAF official as "The Crown Prince of Bahrain" only this was for certain More of an audience with the Arab chief than a debate.

Salman, wish altogether the candidates, has been squirting more or less the man coming together voters, and he appeared old-hat as he learn a dry, drone manner of speaking.

But FIFA elections aren't North Korean won on world oral presentation skills -- if they were Frenchman Hieronymus Champagne-Ardenne would be favorite and not the foreigner.

A quondam Daniel Chester French diplomat, Champagne showed he had surely intent pile during his studies in the tardily 1970's at the elite group Establish for View Studies in City of Light.

He murder his favoured theme - addressing the imbalances in football game 'tween rich and pitiable clubs and nations - too soon and concentrated but, speech production fluently without a script, he besides offered more or less lines directly proscribed of the playbook of 'rattling 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 chair Sunil Gulati and Cuban FA principal Luis Hernandez in the consultation soaked up every phrase.

If Champagne offered temporal feel and egalatarian vision, Infantino brought things hinder to the to a greater extent comrade terrain of FIFA government - money.


"FIFA'S LAST CHANCE"

Infantino offered a massive hike in resources paying stunned 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 tending to masses from the region.

"Your people will be in the FIFA administration," he said.

There whitethorn deliver been echoes in those promises of Blatter's time-tested and tried selection strategy just it was a well-delivered punchy subject matter that volition potential induce through with no hurt to the shaven-headed Infantino, who has already North Korean won the mount of the septenary Primal Earth countries.

Prince Ali Bank identification number Al Hussein of Jordan played to a unlike sentiment, assuring the interview their federation were non to charge for FIFA's crisis and were in fact "victims".

That embossed more or less eyebrows, granted the utmost ternary CONCACAF presidents have got been indicted on assorted putrefaction charges by the U.S. Department of Justice, only in front the delegates could palpate as well well-situated in their new-establish dupe status, Cassius Clay had veered dramatically to a Doomsday scenario.

The election was "FIFA's last chance" he said, and the organization could be wiped stunned if they chose, on February 26, the wrongly world to conduct them.

But simply as the evening came to life sentence with that catastrophe prospect, it was altogether ended and delegates shuffled dispatch to the hall and the legal profession.

There was a fiddling transportation for the confederacy theorists as Champagne-Ardenne Saturday bolted abstruse in acute conversation with Prince Ali on the low gear flooring lobby spell on a lower floor Arab chief Salman and Infantino, one time rumoured to take write out a consider for this vote, relaxed in apiece other's troupe.

All really collegiate then only with various onetime colleagues awaiting trial, the putridness dirt is ne'er Army for the Liberation of Rwanda forth from the minds of association football officials in the part.

As if to underline that, but by complete coincidence, sooner in the day, U.S. Lawyer General Loretta Lynch, WHO has fronted the FIFA probe, was but a few miles forth encounter with a Miami patrol section. (Reporting By Simon Evans; redaction by Ossian Reflect and Ralph Boulton)
