On an extraordinary day where the reputation of football’s world governing body plumbed new depths, Michael J Garcia accused Fifa’s head judge of misrepresenting his report into the bidding for the next two World Cups and announced he would appeal a verdict which looked to have lifted the threat of the controversial 2010 ballot being re-run.

Garcia’s explosive intervention came after Hans-Joachim Eckert, the chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of Fifa’s ethics committee, had earlier published a summary of the American’s findings which he said were not damning enough to justify stripping Russia or Qatar of the 2018 and 2022 tournaments.
