Didn't they pull Sepp Blater out of mothballs to get even him to say Infantino was awful?

[Jordi Culé]

Infantino has turned out to be a bigger cuunt than Blatter which is decent going.

The last sentence of the article will be interesting to judge upon after the tournament has ended.

On a personal basis (it could be my age), I'm less interested in this world cup than tge previous tournament which I thought was a shiitshow being held in Qatar.

It's lost its gloss for sure, I would imagine the Americans can make it a bit of a spectacle again.

Outrageous ticket prices, inflated transport costs and Infantino are certainly making it a spectacle.

Just for icing on the cake, Chris Martin has organised the traditional half time show.

I can't wait.

It'll make a spectacle of itself, more like.

FIFA needs a damn good kick up the arse (or replacing ideally, but that's not going to happen).
How seriously its own ethics committee will take the complaint remains to be seen though.

It’s lost its gloss BECAUSE the Americans are hosting. Taking greed to new levels.

It will be fine when it gets underway, lot of bloat in terms of the extra matches but the knockouts onwards are always very entertaining for one reason or another.

From a fan point of view it's not great. Ticket prices from official sources are high but I understand a lot have been heavily discounted on secondary markets. (Not the later knockouts)

I'm not a fan of the multi country hosting unless it's somewhere tiny like the UK.

I'm not there though so like millions of others watching its not going to effect me in my living room.

I expect FIFA to heavily reinvest their great profits into the game.

This world cup is basically a piece of shit

Agreed, that was my point, it should be impressive and well organised for fans not travelling, let's wait and see.
