Infantino's laughable defence of Qatar

Infantino accuses West of 'hypocrisy' in speech

Fifa president Gianni Infantino accuses the West of "hypocrisy" in its reporting about Qatar's human rights record on the eve of the World Cup.

www.bbc.co.uk

Absolutely joke of a speech.

FIFA are corrupt to the core.

His names about half right.

If there was ever a time to boycott a World Cup this was it, a collective movement would have finished FIFA, and left Qatar spending billions on nothing, it would have been a strong global message.

I'd love for it to be a total flop and for uefa to walk away from the fifa World Cup and setup an alternative.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

I genuinely felt sick reading this.

Ronaldo: I gave the worst speech of the week

Infantino: Hold my beer, but only inside a FIFA suite and not in the rest of the stadium

The sad thing is, there will genuinely be people who believe that spiel as well.

"We can't criticise today because of what was done in the past" is such a common argument when something bad is happening in the world.

Whoever believes that are fools and money men. I find it disgusting. Infantino should be made to resign for comments like that. A man on £250,000 a week calling himself a migrant worker even though he went on to say he didn't mean it that way.

Talk about not being able to read the room.

Qatar will have bunged him a few million $$$$ to come up with that drivel. Blood on his hands the big corrupt sh*thouse.

Would have been better simply doing a PR exercise and kind of skirting around the corruption human rights, LBGTQ, migrant deaths issues. But no. He now just confirms how far FIFA are in the Qataris pockets and what a helmet he is.

F*ck FIFA.

Wasn’t he brought in to repair the integrity of FIFA. Same old boll0cks

Some of the Twitter whatabouttery is laughable. I’ve seen a few saying what about the deaths in South America.

I’m like yeah 8 people died which is 8 too many but it’s not comparable to 6500-15000

I’m like yeah in Brazil 8 people died which is 8 too many but it’s not comparable to 6500-15000.

There were a lot of complaints about the Brazil deaths at the time too.

 

[FoolsGold]

Can't wait for the whole circus to be over and the domestic leagues to start back up. How sad is that!

 

[Zoophonic]

I really do think Infantino thinks FIFA are a force for good in this world. why else did he go to the G 20 in Bali. On the contrary, they are totally the opposite. Infantino is a corrupt bureaucrat with a massive lack of self awareness and almost God complex.

Reading comments like this on here are as close as I'll be getting to this world cup.....the quicker it's over the better... absolute pile of stinking sh ite

Getting replies of that’s the total number of migrant deaths not just from stadium building. I’m like your half right as it doesn’t include deaths for Kenyan and
Philippinno workers the two biggest exporters of Labour to Qatar, wonder why they don’t publish deaths of those.

Oh, that’s a good point.
We should only count the slaves that died specifically building the stadia.
The other slave deaths in Qatar are really ok.

FIFA really are in absolute denial aren’t they?
