LONDON, July 31 : British finance minister John Healey said on Friday he was proud that English and European soccer authorities had galvanised the opposition to FIFA’s plans to sell a stake in the World Cup, a proposal that he said now appeared to be collapsing.

“I think FIFA’s plans are falling apart, and I’m dead proud … that the FA and UEFA have lead the charge against the idea the World Cup’s for sale,” Healey told reporters. “I want to see these plans put to one side.”
