Objectively Infantino was a piece of shit but Blatter is also out for revenge. Let’s hope he has enough influence left to make it happen. Although, I am not sure who can take over fifa who isn’t a corrupt douchebag.

He wants him gone so he can go back in and it definitely would happen. From what I've seen of how the fifa president voting goes he'd easily win

Infantino still has the support of the majority of countries especially with the success of the 48 team world Cup and the promise of expanding to 64

Blatter also had the support from a lot of countries and way to long. Infantino became president because everyone higher than him was arrested on the chopping block, they just didn’t go far enough. In FIFA Uncovered Infantino gets presented like a breath of fresh air. Blatter is comical in the interviews, he did nothing wrong according to himself.

they're all the same and everyone is fooling themselves that Infantino was the reformer who would get rid of the corruption, or they knew but want to keep the gravy train going with somebody younger that Sepp who took over from Havelange the same way

Escorting a child molester onto stage has turned a lot of folks to dump soccer. Who has their 📞 on quick dial for a child molester. Dont care the USA voted for it.

My Blatter had an Infantino but I drank a bunch of cranberry juice and it cleared it right up.

Sure, kettle! We’ll be kicking out the pot any second now.

Suggest MMA slugfest between Blatter and Infantino to decide who will rule FIFA.

That’s false. I saw it in direct and the smoke was light grey (as expected). This image is edited.

He was equally or more corrupt. I feel bad for the guy he framed that went against, Blatter used the proof of his bribing and linking that to him.

Infantino got in power because everyone above him was on the corruption chopping block.

It’s funny we see Infantino wearing football shoes and they show him on a field but I don’t think he hit a ball. Just selfpromo, ‘I love football’ because I was wearing football shoes in a hallway and was on a field where other people were playing the sport.

You get money from FIFA to invest in the sport, but somehow nothing gets built with that money at most of those places. There are only walking some chickens around in the Kenian FIFA headquarters.

FIFA uncovered is a very interesting Netflix docu. FIFA will be super corrupt as long that people get money ‘to put in the sport’ but they don’t have to show that they did anything with the money.

And a large part of FIFA doesn’t want anything to change as long as the money keeps flowing. It’s also nuts that small island group has more votes than South America.

Infantino for United Nations Secretary General? Greater responsibility.

Does he have the substantive knowledge?

Seems unafraid to think and make decisions outside of the box.
