“Within that report, most of the criticism is of people who co-operated the most fully,” he said.<\/p>\n
“If you actually didn’t co-operate, you don’t get criticised, which seems very weird to me. The FA, I don’t think on this, has got anything to hide.<\/p>\n
“Everything that was done was cleared with the Fifa executive beforehand and was told to the Garcia report by the English FA.”<\/p>\n
Dyke also called for Garcia’s report, which runs to hundreds of pages, to be published in full.<\/p>\n
Lord Triesman, who was chairman of the FA at the time voting for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups took place, said he also wanted to see the complete document.<\/p>\n
He was criticised in the report for failing to co-operate with the investigation.<\/p>\n
“I’m never satisfied by seeing summaries by somebody else,” Triesman told BBC Sport. “In this day and age, people are entitled to see the original.”<\/p>\n
British MP Damien Collins described Eckert’s report as “a whitewash” before Garcia’s statement was issued.<\/p>\n
Fellow MP Clive Efford, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Sport, added: “Fifa has no choice but to publish Michael Garcia’s report in full if it expects anyone to believe their claims that there has been no cover-up over allegations of corruption in the World Cup bidding process.”<\/p>\n
Fifa’s inquiry looked at the conduct of the nine teams bidding to win the right to stage the 2018 or 2022 World Cups.<\/p>\n
It was initiated after a number of corruption allegations were made once voting had taken place in 2010.<\/p>\n
Russia won the right to host the 2018 tournament, beating England as well as joint bids by the Netherlands and Belgium, and Spain and Portugal.<\/p>\n
To much surprise, Qatar was awarded the 2022 event, edging out Australia, Japan, South Korea and the United States.<\/p>\n

Qatar was subsequently accused of paying Fifa officials \u00a33m to secure backing for its bid.<\/p>\n
The report cleared the Gulf state of corruption, although it noted that there were “certain indications of potentially problematic conduct of specific individuals”.<\/p>\n
Hassan Al Thawadi, general secretary of the Qatar 2022 organising committee, told BBC Sport: “Throughout this whole process we’ve been transparent when it comes to the process of bidding for the 2022 World Cup.<\/p>\n
“We’ve always been confident about the integrity of our bid. Today’s report was confirmation of that.”<\/p>\n
The report noted that the Russian bid team made “only a limited amount of documents available for review”.<\/p>\n
According to the report, the Russian team hired computers that were subsequently destroyed, denying the inquiry access to email accounts.<\/p>\n
“We were always confident that there could be nothing which would come out from this investigation,” said Alexey Sorokin, the head of Russia’s 2018 World Cup organising committee.<\/p>\n

Fifa’s report into World Cup corruption is now pointless and a joke, according to English Football Association chairman Greg Dyke. He made his comments after the man who investigated claims of wrongdoing said the report was “erroneous”. “It’s a bit of a joke, the whole process,” Dyke told BBC Sport, adding that it looked “pretty […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":64966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[29,3],"class_list":["post-64965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-dr-mahamudu-bawumia","tag-ghana-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=64965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/64966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=64965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=64965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=64965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
