I still remember after the big corruption scandal around 2015 etc, thinking it'll be great to see a less corrupt FIFA.

Haha, so so so wrong

Infantino puts his predecessors, to shame. Praising the head of a nation who has bombed multiple countries in the upcoming tournament which they are jointly hosting. It's so fucking insane! Obv Trump's crimes are too long to list but for the head of FIFA to share such a crazy statement... It actually beggars belief

I was cheering so much when Sepp Blatter was kicked out. It's kind of impressive that someone could be worse.
