Infantino reminds me of John gotti. He's letting all the power go to his head. Instead of staying In the background. He's out getting photographed every where
Just wait until we get the next one in, he will more than likely be even worse than Infantino! Once they smell the money, the greed just follows automatically and can’t stop, won’t stop until FIFA have some kind of internal revolt with major Countries having enough! On another note but how England or even the UK ( yes I know you hate that term but it’s relevant ) hasn’t hosted a World Cup in what 60 years is just a disgrace considering how many other Countries have had it multiple times.
I second that! Travesty really as have all the stadia, infrastructure etc all ready set up but FIFA clearly don’t want it. Then again after the fiasco of the last bid I don’t blame our Government to give it wide birth either tbh.

Feels like Iran are trying to test if the USA government or FIFA are in charge of the World Cup with some of these demands.
Probably didn't get for years because hooliganism. Now probably not going to get because of the Premier League.

Yeah I kind of gathered it’s his brother ( without googling ) unless it’s a huge coincidence considering it’s such an unusual Argentine surname. I didn’t realise he was actually named after the character though, lol. Reminds me of a guy I went to college with called James Bond….

Hadžiahmetović was reported injured earlier. Can you switch players after the deadline if they were already injured?
