The World has spoken.

"Fifa president Gianni Infantino says he has scrapped the controversial plan to sell off stakes in the governing body's competitions to private investors following widespread opposition."

 

[First Aspect]

You forgot the part where Infantino has listened carefully to feedback before deciding how to proceed. FIFA is an open democratic organisation, you see.

UEFA should continue with their plans based on a no confidence vote in the integrity of FIFA.

They are certainly going to turn the screw in order to get rid of Infantino now. I think they have a chance which will be a good start.

Possibly water under the bridge now anyway but if Fifa/Infantino really wanted to genuinely help its members with $20M each, it could have done it out of it's $7Bn cash in the bank and still leave just under $3Bn.

Infantino is finding out that Trump isn’t his friend once the circus has left town and there is nothing in it for Trump anymore.

Anyway we only have 4 months until the next FIFA peace prize winner is announced.
I can’t wait to hear who it is.
Or will it quietly be dropped and never heard of again.

Maybe it'll fall off a balcony...

They could instantly improving their current standing by revoking Trump's for starting a war in Iran.

We all know that is a non-starter. Logical, but never going to happen.

I can tell you now ... and the winner is Donald Trump.

Trump probably thinks Infantino folded like an umbrella.

 

[briantrumpet]

Infantino doing Trump's bidding, it seems.

UEFA not toning it down at all.

They won't. It is well known Ceferin hates Infantino and FIFA. They aren't leaving this alone until Infantino is gone. I suspect they will succeed, UEFA is too powerful in the global game and has the capacity to disrupt everything.
