"WHO INVITED THIS NONCE???"

Montagliani, who was elected CONCACAF president in May, will be making his first keynote speech on Wednesday in England, which is home to the world's richest soccer competition.


"I come from a country that is heavily influenced by the culture of the U.K. and in a lot of ways it has been influenced in a positive way," Montagliani said in London. "But we have also been influenced in a negative way I think. Our game has stagnated because we have followed a little bit of the technical vision of the U.K. which as we can see has never been as successful to the level it should be successful."

English soccer suffers from having "people who perhaps are in it for the wrong reasons," which Montagliani believes was highlighted by the newspaper investigation.

"There is no reason why with all the money, the passion, the love of the game, England shouldn't be a top five country in the world," Montagliani said. "I don't think it's ever been close to being a top-five country for probably 20, 30 years on the pitch. Off the pitch, it's probably number one."
