  1. It might of been the most lucrative WC but it was also one of the most corrupt WC. From giving certain teams a easy path through out the tournament to overturning a Red card to allowing one team the ability to hurt opposing players without any consequences, this WC corruption went too far.

  2. FIFA is corrupt from the very top to the very bottom, all the main people in FIFA knew about the bribes and authorities them. So it’s not just a matter to remove the head from the shake but to complete end FIFA for once and all. Just look at the corruption FIFA are involved with Trump and his family members. Football is a game of the people, not those who want to exploit this oldest of games.

  3. Europe just need to cut ties with fifa completely. Infantil can sell the rights to watch Americans play „soccer“. He might be surprised how profitable that’s gonna be😂😂😂😂😂😂

  4. And now, the Burger King highlights of the Coca-Cola Ferrari 2030 World Cup Volkswagen Round of Sixteen match between BMW Germany and Mercedes Brazil at the Pizza Hut-Dominos-Deliveroo-Uber Eats-Barbie Bilbao Stadium. Stay tuned to find out who’s been named the American Express Man of the Match.

  5. The world is not ready to be so so so commercial like this..

    ticket prices r too high..
    Hydration breaks for ads..
    Banned red cards from host gov influence..
    more money to distribute..
    more teams, more money, but lowering the tournament’s quality..
    not helping Iran team having smooth tournament scheduling..
    Not promoting ban on USA n Israel for attacking Palestine..
    now selling d org to private investor..
    Too much!!

  6. Football started as a poor’s people sport. Money into the sport is what ruined it… now you don’t have players, you have divas. Regardless of game results, they still get paid anyways, no motivation = weak players.

  7. The soccer world has NOT "turned on FIFA". The major events are still attended and watched by millions of spectators across the glode. Because most of them do not care how corrupt an organisation is as long as it delivers an easily consumable product.

  8. Well, he got into bed with Trump. His actions with Trump made me want to vomit. That's it, game over. Just resign Johnny. The longer you hang on the more pathetic you are. I never paid that much attention to the World Cup, primarily because of Trump. If he stays, I'm done with FIFA tournaments all together.

  9. Hypocrisy galore! UEFA states football is for everyone. Fine,but why then did they sell the TV rights of all their club competitions? They all sell TV rights for games to go behind a pay wall, so why can FIFA not do that for the WC?

  10. FIFA is a registered non profit. Private Equity has no business partially owning a non profit.

    Note: I am aware Infantino spun off the Broadcast rights in a subsidiary for profit entity, but it still stinks to high heaven.

  11. Something seriously wrong about the title of this video. The partial privatization wasn’t a FIFA endeavor—it was clearly something that was hatched when 2 greedy, insatiably power hungry, narcissistic individuals met, sat down and hatched this sinister plan.
