UEFA football chief Zvonimir Boban lambasts Arsene Wenger over 'absurd' plea for World Cup and European Championship to be played every two years... former Arsenal boss also under fire for criticising England penalty

Zvonimir Boban, UEFA’s football chief, has savaged Arsene Wenger after he pledged his support for a World Cup every two years instead of four.

The former Arsenal boss has also come under fire from the Croatian for criticising the penalty awarded to England against Denmark in the semi-final of the European Championship for a foul on Raheem Sterling.

Earlier this week, Wenger drew criticism when he backed a FIFA proposed revamp of the World Cup, claiming it was what the fans wanted.
