  1. Since this report aired, FIFA President Gianni Infantino has withdrawn his plans to sell stakes in FIFA competitions to private investors. In a statement, Infantino said: "Having listened carefully to all the views, it has become clear that the project has created divisions of a nature that, regardless of the level of support, are no longer in the interest of the objective set out in the first place."

  3. The whole fifa world cup has been corrupt since he gave his pal the peace prize they made up. You know they were talking one night and this idea was cooked up.
    I think he needs to go and his mate Donny.

  4. Too late he must be replace for a better person that cares about the sport and all the teams around the world. All the Fifa should be protected by all the countries as a sport. Fired Infantino. ASAP.

  5. UEFA or someone needs to put somebody forward, fans need this back, it's not for grovelling, greedy, self-indulgent persons to ruin and rob the fanbase! The biggest sport in the world is getting cancerous leader after leader!

  6. Of course he should resign . Hes in Trumps pocket plus the red card incident and no consultation with his colleagues regarding the wotld cup suggests corruption at the highest level.

  7. FIFAโ€™s reputation has been in freefall for years, even as footballโ€™s popularity keeps rising and spreading worldwide. Through all of this, he felt untouchable. The constant awarding of honors to presidents, the shameless bootโ€‘licking, and the overturning of red cards just because someone called in โ€” itโ€™s more than enough for him to pack up, take the money, change his name, disappear into the desert, and start a new life.

  8. Gianni Infantino should not simply resign; he should be removed from FIFA. His so-called Peace Prize, the red-card controversy, and his attempt to sell a stake in the World Cup to a private investment group linked to Joshua Kushner have made one thing clear: he has politicized the office of the FIFA president, abandoning the neutrality that the role demands. FIFA deserves an independent leaderโ€”not a political one.

  9. Trump's in-law acolytes are why now. When you hear Trump denying knowledge, you know he's behind a crooked deal; let's not be naive. FIFAโ€™s non-profit, remember!

  10. One thing is the peace prize, a truly absurd thing, and that other gold thin he gave Trump a year ago, but the red card affair was overstepping. WTF does Trump have to do with football?
