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.

Infantino is such a tool. He and Trump were made for each other.

It is such a disgusting statement like, its one of those things that should be instantly sackable but of course FIFA being FIFA, absolutely nothing will happen

Fuck off! Fuck off for real dude! You felt at your lowest point, you ruined soccer with your fucking ideology! You support a murderer! And that's the tip of the iceberg, fucking traitor!

They'd be lucky to make it out of Iran without being shot down, and he thinks they're gonna make it to a game?

Is that why Infantino has no hair on his head, less friction when he's sliding it into Trump's rump?

I wonder who the next FIFA Warmonger Prize recipient will be? Top nominees should include Trump (again, obviously), Putin, Netanyahu, MBS and a left field candidate in Sudan's Hamedti.
