Football's world ruling body, FIFA, is facing massive criticism - even within its own ranks - in the aftermath of the dispute that has broken out within its ethics committee over the concluding report of its corruption probe into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bid process, dpa reported. FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke expressed disappointment Friday at the dispute, which sees committee chairmen Michael Garcia and Hans-Joachim Eckert with drastically differing opinions of the awarding of Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022. "We can simply say that it's sad that the two chairmen of our ethics committee have differing opinions when we are talking about such important things in football," Valcke said at an event in South Africa. Garcia, the chief investigator who carried out the investigation, has pledged to appeal after FIFA judge Eckert cleared Russia and Qatar in his report. FIFA has not yet commented about a possible appeal. -- SPA 17:39 LOCAL TIME 14:39 GMT تغريد
