FIFA already have a "Fair Play" award and after viewing this I feel that they should invite nominations for a "Respect" award and reward instances of respect/honesty and sportsmanship. Maybe there can be an award for each Confederation (Asia,Africa, Europe etc.) to encourage these positive values in the modern game. It would also promote a positive image for the game to counter the images of players feigning injury and simulation, which the enemies of the game like to dwell on. I would love the "Respect" award to be introduced, despite the fact that negative behaviour will still continue.

FIFA awarding a trophy for Respect/Honesty - I don't think they have anyone qualified to judge that one. :oops: :shock: 8)

I agree with the implication that FIFA is corrupt Old Master, but a "Respect" award would still reward respect/honesty and sportmanship and promote a "positive" image for the game.Perhaps have each FIFA member country voting for what they consider the most worthy recipient.

Isn't that how Qatar got the world cup?

No, it was the voting in blocks that got them in.

I doubt either Russia or Qatar would have been given the nod if each country got to vote for their choice.
