It was a scene that surprised many. After the incidents ahead of OM-OL, the American president was this time at Botafogo, in Brazil, to attend the meeting between his team and Palmeiras. The BFR, which led 3-0, lost 4-3 in this match, enough to provoke its anger and a big slip-up at the end of the match after having accused the refereeing of corruption. According to local media, the CBF, the Brazilian Football Confederation, had decided to prosecute John Textor for his accusations of corruption.
The day after these accusations, the American president of Eagle Football reacted in a new inflammatory press release. “I am deeply and passionately invested in the communities I serve (…) I have been invited here, by people of wisdom within our government, to help bring change to the beautiful game of Brazil and I will not back down in the face of challenges from people in positions of power who are willing to do anything, and say anything, to cling to their power. We are Botafogo… and am here to set the fire”. The CBF will appreciate…
