German public supports World Cup boycott...

Can you imagine a World Cup without the title holders Germany? More than half of Germans can, according to a YouGov poll.

Unless FIFA makes efforts to fight corruption by reforming itself, 53 percent of Germans would support a boycott by their national team of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Back in December this proportion was 40 percent, which shows how trust is seriously waning trust in football's highest authority.

88 percent of the people surveyed said that corruption probably exists in the international organization, and 81 percent are convinced that Sepp Blatter is personally involved.
