Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke is not at all agreed to do any reforms in the voting system. according to him, the secret ballot is completely fair and the world is open now to accept Russia as a host country. Northern Ireland’s Jim Boyce criticized the secret ballot and he said that the ballot should be open and not a secret one.
