FIFA Bahas Status Nurdin Halid

Jakarta (ANTARA) - FIFA telah membuat langkah penting untuk menentukan status ketua umum PSSI Nurdin Halid.

FIFA merekomendasikan bahwa Nurdin Halid tidak mungkin untuk dipilih kembali saat masa jabatannya berakhir bulan ini, kata sumber dekat dengan Komite Asosiasi FIFA seperti dikutip situs Worldfootballinsider, Kamis.

Satu upaya besar untuk mengakhiri delapan tahun kepemimpinan Nurdin Halid yang sempat memimpin organisasi PSSI dari sel penjara karena kasus korupsi.

Dalam kode etik FIFA, mereka yang sudah telah menjalani hukuman penjara memang dilarang untuk kembali memegang kekuasaan dalam keorganisasian.

Dalam laporan itu, memang ada kekhawatiran bagi pihak yang anti-Nurdin Halid jika ada anggota Komite Eksekutif FIFA yang melindungi Nurdin.

FIFA dalam hal ini memahami situasi yang sedang berlangsung di Indonesia dan akan membahasnya lebih lanjut. Rapat Komite Eksekutive (Exco) FIFA berlangsung di Zurich, Swiss, pada Rabu dan Kamis waktu setempat. Rapat Exco FIFA ini langsung dipimpin oleh Presiden FIFA, Joseph Sepp Blatter.

Riedl Beberkan Kelemahan Timnas U-23

INILAH.COM, Jakarta- Selain keseimbangan disektor belakang, ternyata Alfred Riedl juga merisaukan faktor pengalaman dan teknik pemain yang dinilainya menjadi faktor kelemahan timnya saat ini.

Seperti diketahui sebelumnya, pelatih timnas U-23 Alfred Riedl mengaku lini pertahanan menjadi fokus utama latihan timnya saat ini. Pelatih asal Austria itu mengaku masih bermasalah menentukan pemain yang cocok mengisi line up utama di sektor belakang.

Namun, saat ditemui selepas meminpin latihan timnas U-23 pagi (Minggu, 20/2/2011) tadi, Riedl mengaku masih ada faktor lain yang melemahkan timnya.

Menurut Riedl pasukan Garuda muda yang dpimpinnya saat ini masih minim akan pengalaman dan lemah dalam hal teknik individu.

“Ada beberapa kelemahan dalam tim ini yaitu pengalaman bermain dan teknik individu,” ujarnya kepada wartawan.

Khusus tentang pengalaman pemain, beberapa hari lalu Riedl sempat mengutarakan ada beberapa pemain di timnya yang hanya diturunkan selama 20 menit dalam sebulan.

“Pemain di tim ini (U-23) paling lemah dari segi skill hal itu terjadi karena minimnya pembinaan usia muda. Pemain muda kurang kesempatan bermain dan jam terbang,” tukasnya.

“Bahkan dari beberapa daftar nama, ada pemain yang hanya turun 20 menit selama sebulan,” tukasnya kala itu.

Komite Pemilihan Umumkan Hasil Verifikasi Secara Terbuka

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Ketua Komite Pemilihan PSSI Syarif Bastaman menyatakan, Komite Pemilihan akan langsung mengumumkan secara terbuka hasil proses verifikasi yang berakhir 19 Februari untuk bakal calon Komite Eksekutif (Exco) PSSI 2011-2015.

"Untuk kepastian pengumuman kepada publik ini nantilah yang akan kita bicarakan dulu. Yang jelas, kami dari Komite Pemilihan yang akan langsung menyampaikannya, bukan Exco, karena tim ini independen," kata Syarif Bastaman dikutip dari situs resmi PSSI, Jumat.

Menurut dia, Kepastian sah atau tidaknya balon Exco sebagai kandidat pengurus otoritas sepak bola nasional untuk periode empat tahun ke depan itu akan diumumkan resmi oleh Komite Pemilihan pada 19 atau 20 Februari 2011.

Pengurus Harian PSSI, berdasarkan Statuta PSSI, seluruhnya berjumlah 11 orang yang terdiri dari ketua umum, wakil ketua umum, dan sembilan anggota Exco.

Ke-11 pengurus harian atau Exco ini akan dipilih oleh peserta Kongres Luar Biasa pada 26 Maret di Tanah Lot, Bali.

Untuk posisi ketua umum, ada empat nama balon, wakil ketua umum enam balon, sementara untuk Exco lainnya berjumlah 29 balon.

"Waktu kami memang hanya tersisa beberapa hari lagi, akan tetapi percayalah bahwa Komite Pemilihan sangat fokus dalam menyelesaikan proses verifikasi ini secara cermat," kata Syarif.

Ia mengatakan, proses verifikasi balon-balon Exco PSSI 2011-2015 ini dilakukan secara independen tanpa intervensi dari pihak manapun. Komite Pemilihan sendiri bertugas melakukan pendaftaran, verifikasi, pemilihan hingga penghitungan suara saat Kongres nanti, tidak berada di bawah PSSI.

"Jadi, meskipun kami diangkat oleh komite eksekutif PSSI tetapi kami tidak berada di bawah hegemoni Exco PSSI. Karena itu anggota Komite Pemilihan tidak boleh merangkap jabatan sebagai anggota Komite Eksekutif PSSI. Saya sendiri telah mengundurkan diri dari Exco sejak sebelum Kongres Tahunan di Bali," kata Syarif yang juga ketua umum PB PSI (Persatuan Squash Indonesia )ini.

Syarif Bastaman mengajukan pengunduran dirinya dari Exco 2007-2011 pada 18 Januari 2011.

"FIFA tidak memperkenankan anggota Exco masuk sebagai anggota Komite Pemilihan. Namun, `Electorall Committee` ini bisa dibentuk resmi oleh Exco tanpa melalui persetujuan Kongres," kata anggota Komite Legal AFC ini.

Berkaitan dengan proses verifikasi itu, Syarif Bastaman menjelaskan, verifikasi merupakan proses untuk menentukan sah atau tidaknya seseorang calon ketua umum.

"Hal utama yang menentukan sah tidaknya calon itu adalah, yang bersangkutan harus taat pada statuta FIFA , AFC dan PSSI, dalam arti tidak pernah dijatuhi sanksi dalam bentuk apapun baik oleh FIFA, AFC, maupun PSSI," katanya.

Lebih lanjut Syarif menjelaskan, sesuai Pasal 35 ayat 4 Statuta PSSI, seorang calon Ketua Umum PSSI juga harus memenuhi persyaratan berusia minimal 30 tahun, harus telah aktif di sepak bola minimal lima tahun.

Pengertian aktif di sini adalah, yang bersangkutan bisa aktif sebagai ofisial, pemain, maupun sebagai pelatih di klub anggota PSSI, maupun pengurus provinsi PSSI.

Syarat lainnya adalah, sesuai pasal 35 ayat 4, calon bersangkutan harus tidak sedang dinyatakan bersalah atau "must not in guilty" atas suatu tindak kriminal oleh pengadilan. Artinya pada saat ini atau sekarang dia tidak sedang menjalani hukuman pidana.

"Syaratnya pemilihannya memang diatur sedemikian ketat karena kita harus memilih komite eksekutif yang terdiri dari ketua umum, wakil ketua umum, dan para anggotanya. Mereka yang akan menentukan arah perkembangan sepak bola nasional hingga empat tahun mendatang. Selain itu FIFA juga ingin memastikan bahwa orang-orang yang dipilih adalah orang-orang yang sudah aktif di sepak bola dengan pengertian aktif sebagai ofisial dan atau pemain," katanya.

Iranian warships sailing through Suez poses prickly decision for Egypt

(CNN) -- Iran has submitted an official request for two of its warships to sail through the Suez Canal, an Egyptian official told CNN Thursday, in a move that puts Egypt's new military regime in a prickly position with Israel.
The post-Hosni Mubarak caretaker government must decide whether to give a green light to the Iranian warships, believed to be the first that would sail through the Suez since the Islamic republic's 1979 revolution.
The Egyptian official told CNN that permission will likely be granted. But Egypt might find itself in muddy water over the Suez.
The canal is an internal body of water and as such, Egypt has sovereignty over it. But Egypt also is bound by the 1976 Camp David Accords, which guaranteed the right of free passage by ships belonging to Israel and all other nations on the basis of the Constantinople Convention of 1888. Before that, Egypt did not allow Israeli ships to sail through the canal.
Last week, Egypt's military government said it would honor all its international treaties. That would include Camp David.
Now it finds itself in the position of allowing ships belonging to the sworn enemy of its peace treaty partner to sail through.
"This is awkward -- at a minimum," said David Schenker, director of the Program on Arab Politics at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
Schenker said the Iranians want a frigate -- the Alvand -- and a military supply ship -- the Kharg -- to cross into the Mediterranean. Both are armed with missiles, he said. Their passage would create more uncertainty in the region.
"It's destabilizing. It raises tension, particularly in this time of transition in Egypt," Schenker said. "This is typical of Syrian-Iranian opportunism."
Schenker predicted the Egyptians will let the Iranians through. Former President Hosni Mubarak might have done otherwise, given Hezbollah's calls a while back for his ouster. But, "There is not a war between Iran and Egypt," he said.

Some maritime analysts privately said Washington could pressure Egypt's new military caretaker government to say no to Iran. Washington agreed to a $13 billion, 10-year military aid package to Egypt in 2007.
Egypt's decision, the analysts said, could serve as a barometer for the direction the military caretakers intend to take the Arab world's most populous nation.
"It does raise an unwelcome political issue that has to be resolved," said Cmdr. James Kraska of the U.S. Naval War College in Rhode Island.
Ahmed El-Manakhly, the transit director of the Suez Canal Authority, had said earlier Thursday that no official request from Iran had been received. Warships planning to cross the canal must ask permission of Egypt's defense and foreign ministries, El-Manakhly said.
The canal authority's website states that ships intending to sail northbound must be in place by 6 a.m. No Iranian ships were there Thursday, but Iran's state-run Press TV reported the warships were making their way from the Red Sea toward the Mediterranean.
Iran said earlier that the flotilla was on a yearlong intelligence-gathering and training mission to prepare young cadets to defend Iran's cargo ships and oil tankers, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman said the two Iranian military vessels had been expected to sail Wednesday night through the Suez on their way to Syria.
"This is a provocation that proves that the self-confidence and insolence of the Iranians is growing from day to day," he said Wednesday. "This happens after the Iranian president's visit to south Lebanon and his aggressive declarations there towards Israel."
Liberman did not mention Egypt by name but said Israel's allies should pay close attention to the situation.
"We expect the international community to act speedily with determination against the Iranian provocations, designed to deteriorate the situation in the area, and put the Iranians in their place," he said.
The Israeli Defense Ministry said Israel was monitoring the movement of the Iranian ships and alerted its allies.
At the U.S. State Department, spokesman P.J. Crowley said Wednesday the United States is also watching the situation.
Reports of the Iranian passage also sent jitters through the global market and oil prices spiked for a time on Wednesday.
The Suez Canal serves as a key waterway for international trade, allowing ships to navigate between Europe and Asia without having to go all the way around the vast African continent. Millions of barrels of oil move through the Suez every day on the way to both Europe and North America.

Solid Liverpool did not sparkle in Kenny Dalglish's first European match in charge of the club but remain well placed for the Europa League's last 16.
The visitors dominated early possession but failed to create any clear chances as Sparta's Manuel Pamic went close.
Glen Johnson poked a shot just wide after half-time but Liverpool, without injured captain Steven Gerrard, never looked like scoring in a drab match.
Yet they held tight late on as Kamil Vacek cracked a low drive wide.
On a night when temperatures dipped below freezing in the Czech capital, Dalglish's developing team - now unbeaten in their last seven matches - started brightly as every player sought to touch the ball.
Sparta, though, looked distinctly like a team who had just come out of hibernation having not played a competitive match following a near three-month winter break.
Though Liverpool took control, without ineligible Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez or talismanic Gerrard, they lacked penetration.
Lone striker David Ngog nearly burst though chasing Raul Meireles' instant attempted through-ball but was flagged offside while the French forward committed a foul when Fabio Aurelio released him.
Andrej Keric then whipped a high cross-shot over the bar with keeper Pepe Reina untroubled.
And Liverpool - still getting to grips with a more flexible tactical system than the one used by former boss Roy Hodgson - started to be opened up as a dangerous corner from Kamil Vacek's dangerous corner was followed up with a low shot which screamed just wide.
England right-back Glen Johnson was caught confused as Martin Abena threaded a superb pass inside him for Manuel Pamic to fire in a powerful shot from an acute angle.
But Reina palmed away the most clear cut chance of the first-half with no home strikers on hand to capitalise on any rebound.
Pamic soon needed treatment for a bloody nose, after which Johnson then drove at the Sparta defence but failed to get his shot off as the visitors continued to attempt to build passing moves from the back.
Dirk Kuyt was unlucky with a searching cross-field ball for Maxi Rodriguez after nice link-up play between Ngog and the always-alert Meireles.
But Sparta nearly found a way through after 30 minutes when Pamic skied a chance after Reina had flapped at a cross.
Marek Matejovsky then found the ball at his feet but when he tried to place a right-footed into the corner of the net Sotirios Kyrgiakos made an important block.
Midfielder Joe Cole trotted on for the injured Fabio Aurelio in the 36th minute before nearly setting up Ngog sharply, but his shot in the box was blocked by former West Ham United centre-back Tomas Repka.
Both Repka - who has been sent off 18 times in his career - and Ngog were shown yellow cards for a needless clash on the touchline, though the punishment for the Liverpool player appeared harsh.
Just before half-time the ever-industrious Kuyt should have done better with a Ngog knock-down but the Dutchman failed to connect on the spin just six yards out.
The slow pace of the match did not alter as the second half got under way.
Looking more comfortable than before the break, Johnson impressively slalomed his way to the right byeline to stand a cross up but Jaromir Blazek leapt to pluck the ball from Ngog's cocked head.
Cameroonian striker Leonard Kweuke then headed wide as Sparta carved out a decent opening.
Johnson again went close soon after but, after picking up a long pass on the right wing, he cut inside before trying to poke a curled shot inside the post with the outside of his right boot when a left-footed shot appeared the better option.
With 15 minutes remaining and a goalless draw looking like a good result to take into the second leg, Reina showed superb anticipation to make smart low save from Kweuke's spin-and-shot from 10 yards.
Keeping a clean sheet looked paramount as centre back Martin Skrtel replaced Ngog late on.
Yet this defensive ploy only invited pressure as 18-year-old midfielder Vacek jinked free outside the box before lashing a shot just past the post as Reina scrambled across his goal.
The second leg takes place at Anfield on 24 February with Lech Poznan or Braga awaiting the winner of the last-32 tie.

ANGGAnews - Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi akan memanggil Ketua Umum PDI Perjuangan, Megawati Soekarnoputri. Pemanggilan ini terkait dengan kasus suap pemilihan Deputi Gubernur Senior Bank Indonesia.

"Akan diperiksa sebagai saksi meringankan," kata Juru Bicara KPK, Johan Budi SP, saat dihubungi, Jumat 18 Februari 2011.

Mega akan menjadi saksi bagi tersangka Max Moein dan Poltak Sitorus. "Ini sesuai dengan permintaan mereka," ujarnya. Rencananya, Mega akan dipanggil pada Senin 21 Februari. "Belum tahu apakah beliau akan datang atau tidak."

Dalam pemeriksaan pekan lalu, Max Moein, tersangka kasus suap dalam pemilihan Deputi Gubernur Senior tahun 2004 meminta KPK memeriksa Megawati. Politisi PDI Perjuangan ini menilai, Megawati mengetahui aliran uang yang diberikan kepada kader partai itu. "Uang itu kami terima dari bendahara fraksi," ujar Max usai menjalani pemeriksaan di KPK, Jakarta, Kamis 10 Februari 2011.

Max mengaku tidak mengetahui asal usul dan kegunaan uang Rp500 juta yang diterimanya itu. Max Moein menegaskan bahwa sebagai kader dia hanya menjalankan instruksi partai. Partai yang lebih tahu soal kemana dan darimana uang tersebut.

Jawaban Kiemas

Soal permintaan kubu Max Moein untuk memeriksa Megawati itu, Ketua Dewan Pertimbangan Pusat PDI Perjuangan, Taufiq Kiemas, enggan berkomentar. "Soal itu tanya saja ke KPK," kata Taufiq kepada wartawan di Gedung MPR.

Sementara, Sekretaris Fraksi PDI Perjuangan, Bambang Wuryanto, menilai bahwa permintaan Max Moein agar Megawati juga diperiksa tidak logis.

Sebagai kader PDI Perjuangan, kata Wuryanto, sudah menjadi kewajiban dari Max Moein untuk memenangkan pasangan Megawati-Hasyim Muzadi sebagai Capres. Jika dalam pelaksanaan tugas, "Memakai dana pribadi ya, itu tetap tanggung jawab kader."

Max Moein menjadi tersangka karena diduga menerima cek pelawat usai pemilihan Deputi Gubernur Senior Bank Indonesia pada 2004 yang dimenangkan Miranda Swaray Goeltom. Saat ini Max sudah ditahan KPK.
