FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

For all his flaws Blatter cared about the game and played a part in the global expansion. The corruption was just a side hustle.

For Infantino, the corruption is the core project, with the football as collateral damage.

His comments on Trump should get him sacked for political impartiality, but of course won't.

“We have a great relationship,” Infantino said. “I’m really lucky. I have a great relationship with President Trump, where I consider him a really close friend. Of course he’s being very helpful in everything we are doing for the World Cup.

“He does things. He does what he says. He says what he thinks. He actually says what many people think as well, but maybe don’t dare to say and that’s why he’s so successful. I have to say it and I’m a bit surprised sometimes when we read some negative comments.

“I am not American, but as far as I understand, President Trump was elected in the United States of America and was quite clearly elected. When you are in such a great democracy as the United States of America, you should first of all respect the results of the election, right?

“In the end he was elected based on the programme, based on what he said.”

Infantino then added: “He is just implementing what he said he would do. So I think we should all support what he’s doing because I think it’s looking pretty good.”
