As for the rest of the world only 3 million are sent out shared between 120 other countries so that would equate to probably just the ex-pat population..


This is purely a political dummy spitting season, nothing more and nothing less and I applaud Fifa for not giving into political pressure. Lets keep politics out of sport whenever possible.
