The more I see this current FIFA president the more I dislike him. He's just a political clown.
FIFA robed Elvis Chepezeze a South African goal keeper best goal scorer of the season no wonder what's happening now
It’s very dangerous for ur enemies to cook in your kitchen…wise man of AMERICA 🇺🇸 👍
GO IRAN WISH YOU BEST OF LUCK.
Shame fifa
FIFA = Máfia
Did he go to other countries' dressing rooms to chat in the same way? I don't think so.Scotland had 2 penalty kicks taken away. They didn't even watch them on video. If they did, I missed it.
FIFA IS A TRAITOR TO FOOTBALL !
I want Iran Vs USA game I want to see something 😢
As an American, let me say this, screw you Infantino!! You are a snake and a coward, sucking up to an authoritarian wanna be like Trump.
Your sympathy for the team and the people of Iran is as fake as the clown leading the US from the White House.
The brave athletes from Iran have no guilt on foreign policy, have no guilt on the bigotry and xenophobia of this Trump administration, and neither are the rest of athletes, referees, reporters, that have been subjected to humiliation and racism, just because the idiot in the white house and Infantino sees them as not worthy of respect.
Im rooting for a different team than Iran to win the World Cup, but I sure hope they shut some bigots mouths by going far in the competition with their talented players.
Tomorrow Belgium plays against Iran. It scares me as a Belgian fan because I expect the Iranian team to come out extremely strong just because of how badly they were treated by Trump and FIFA. If I was treated that way it would make me stronger and more determined.
It must be said that the whole world is watching and witnessing abhorrent injustice and pain disged out to Iran by tge USA. This is nothing shirt of sporting/football terrorism. At the end of the day, FIFAmust be held accountable.
CORRUPT BOLD HEADED SLIME😢
Empty words
Infantino, the most corrupt president of FIFA ever, and that is really saying something. He is more interested in licking Trump's butt rather than upholding integrity of his sport.
BS!!! If fifa cared they would have had the wc elsewhere!! Total nonsense!
Pitiful clown. If you can not secure fair treatment for all participants of your tournament from the host country, you take your tournament somewhere else. There is plenty of countries with fine stadiums in other parts of the world, happy to step in.
gross corruption in our faces !
What about some action FIFA is a flop.
FIFA is corrupt period
Trump sucker!
Completely fake video they got on well 😊
Trump is the biggest baby, an embarrassment to America & the world. The man has no manners & no shame, a thug by all the meaning of the word.
May the oppressors be cursed
