The clue is in the word "indulging"

He didn't make the squad and wasn't part of the coaching staff so what was he doing on the bench? Purely to indulge his massive ego. Apparently he was officially in SA to help promote the 2018 bid - that's fine if that's what impresses FIFA; but I can't see any useful reason why he was involved with the team.

The culture that raises celebrity over ability is what leads to dicks like Beckham and there are thousands involved in football: owners, managers, players, agents, FA executives, Murdoch.
