I could see it in years to come that it'll come out that Infantino is even more corrupt than Blatter.
I won't post a Telegraph link but Blatter gave a long interview to them in December in which that was basically the theme. It was thousands of words that basically amounted to "you thought I was bad..."
And that does seem the commonly accepted view of the journos around it now.
In a world full of adversity, we must still dare to dream.

I can't wait for Saudi Arabia v Cape Verde, they should make it 64 teams.
That's the one bit I don't mind. Well, Saudi I do mind a bit because of how they're using football to direct attention away from the choppy-choppy habits of their rulers but in general, having small teams there for whom this is their big day out is great.

Can see it being big in this country though as I honestly think England have a great chance of winning it. Probably Spain are the favourites but England not far behind
Why stop at 64? They could make it 128. Make the tourney all-year round. Multi-city event (in the US only, of course). And name the tournament after Trump.
