FIFA is a corrupt organization and all about politics.Regarding the current Matip situation, in my opinion, it depends on how Cameroon FA voted for President.FIFA is well known for "returning favours". I can't find the lilst of the 2016 elections, but IF Cameroon FA voted for Gianni Infantino, I don't expect FIFA to rule in our favour.
Leading contenders Gianni Infantino, the Swiss general secretary of European soccer's ruling body UEFA, and Asian Football Confederation (AFC) president Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa, are both in Kigali ahead of the CAF meeting.CAF president Issa Hayatou, who is also FIFA's acting chief, told French newspaper L'Equipe his confederation was originally behind UEFA president Michel Platini before the Frenchman was banned from soccer for eight years by FIFA's Ethics Committee."If Platini had been a candidate Africa would have voted for him that is sure," said Cameroonian Hayatou, who raised the prospect of Bahraini royal Salman being the preferred choice."If we decide to support Salman is it a crime? Who can prevent us from doing this?" he said.

Craig Burnley V West Ham - WEST HAM WIN - INCORRECT
This is a complete farce. How can they not have got back to us yet?
I can understand it. It's all part of FIFA's Football Family (TM) ideals. I try and avoid my family whenever I can too.
Crosby Nick never fails.
Must need the fucking overtime payments to make ends meet.What other excuse could there be for issuing fuck all by way of updates, and it's 9pm (in Switzerland) on the day that it was promised.
Choupo-Moting has been cleared to play for Schalke according to German Sky, if true this is good news for us.

Start against Swansea?
Hopefully he starts now...as CB's on the bench don't tend to come on unless someone is injured...Made up with this...Makes you wonder though with it being this late if Klopp had already resigned himself to him missing tomorrow however...Bleeding FIFA what the hell have then been doing all day...its a straightforward 5 minute decision.
