Just after Wales. Great move
@pruett89
Any leader in the world who can be described as "clinging to power" needs to be removed.

Infantino himself knows that. The question should be who will be his successor.

just ask your favorite chatbot how private investors would maximize profits to double the value of their investment within 4 to 8 years. eg. worldcup only on pay-tv, less payout to national assiciations (it's just cost for capitalists), coerce fifa with vetos etc.
@thuynguyenvan7899
Non cooperation with FIFA if FIFA currupt president does not resign . This is a very good move to get rid of him by UEFA
