"FIFA will offer all the help China need but you should rely on yourself to win，" Wei quoted the former FIFA chief， "I think he is somehow disappointed at our failure."
Sina China paid tribute to the legend with an article titled "Pierre de Coubertin of football， best president of FIFA".
NetEase Sports' website reported the sad news with bald， black Chinese font， mentioning football may not be the first sport of the world without his contribution in FIFA's reform.

It's been a long time coming but it appears that Scottish soccer might finally be returning to its heyday.
In the Scottish Premiership, Celtic's current dominance nike air vapormax black sale , in the absence of their historic crosstown rivals, is being challenged by Aberdeen. This is a throwback to the turn of the 1980s when a certain Sir Alex Ferguson turned the unfashionable oilmen into the Dandy Dons and broke the Glasgow hegemony for the first time since the Swinging Sixties. While the Man from Govan was setting to the first of his three titles North of the Border nike air vapormax black mens , the best players in the best team in Europe were from Scotland. Graeme Souness and Kenny Dalglish were the pride of the Liverpool team that laid waste to the continent.
Fast forward to today and a division down in the Championship. Hearts, Rangers and Hibernian are vying for promotion with the Jambos clear in front and the Gers and Hibees looking for the chance to playoff for their Premiership return.
This should be cause enough for excitement in a soccer climate that has been as desolate as a Hebridean December but there are also bright spots from overseas. Ironically nike air vapormax black , it's coming from the very countries that many Scots, Sean Connery included nike air vapormax shoes sale , escape to for their winter sun: the Iberian Peninsula.
