A few years ago, the FIFA president was flattering 2018 World Cup host Russia and Vladimir Putin despite the concerns of human rights activists, says Sky's Rob Harris. Then Russia was banned from this World Cup for invading Ukraine.

The first deflection of the World Cup came from Gianni Infantino. Maybe even an own goal.

An attempt to show empathy appeared performative when he said, bizarrely:"Today I feel gay… today I feel [like] a migrant worker." Countless died prematurely. The lack of post-mortem examinations means we will never know the full human cost of Qatar hosting the World Cup with £200bn of new infrastructure.

With no local officials speaking to the media this week, he seemed to be the voice of the Middle Eastern country.But while he dismissed criticism of Qatar, scrutiny he considers to be hypocritical has produced changes leading to improved working condition for migrant workers.

RobHarris Buff coloured envelope speaks volumes of him

RobHarris Share with us your bank statements… please… corruption at its best

RobHarris He was just calling out all the hypocrites and was right in what he said!

RobHarris Should be very interesting of this guy is still around when the Cup comes to North America in 2026. He will be roasted.

RobHarris Infantino is Infantilo ……

RobHarris He is rgt so many cultures around the world we are telling how to live. Do people forget we have migrants come for cheap wages to pick fruit & veg while someone sits on benefits with no job 🤔 about time uk fixed itself for mental wellbeing of its citizens

RobHarris Bloody egg head 🥚

RobHarris Whose bread I eat, I sing thy song. How many millions?

RobHarris If he feels Arab and gay he will be getting thrown from a tall building whilst the villagers at the bottom wait for his body to land and begin to pelt stones at his corpse whilst laughing a screaming with joy.

RobHarris hypocrisy of west is blatant for world to see..

RobHarris You focus on football, I focus on money that Qatar paid me to keep you quiet 👍

RobHarris Cheapskate media attack. Public wanted a response. They got it from him. After realising their western countries got slapped in the face & asked to look into the mirror themselves...now media (without reflecting its fault too), turn it around to blame Infantino back.

RobHarris This guy is getting paid. FIFA is still corrupt.

RobHarris Infantile.

RobHarris I thought blatter was bad.

RobHarris We should abolish FIFA altogether.

No, it wasn't. Only hypocrites and ignorant people that have never opened an history book would call that 'a rambling tirade'. But, sorry, I forgot you lot at sky news suffer from selective memory

totally unnecessary guilt laden speech

The West have plundered Africa, Asia and the middle East for thenlast 3000 years and they continue to do under the guise of democracy. I applaud FIFA for standing up and telling the truth.

Just boycott, you still can watch on television

🛎🔚 alert ⚠️

Infantino when he gets to his hotel room after the press conference.

Infantino back on the Columbian marching powder

To be fair what he said was not far from the truth. We are constantly told that the UK is full of racism, homophobia, sexism and misogyny. We won’t let migrants cross, left Europe and sit by on Ukraine. We are not diverse enough and have are wrecking the plant. We’re told daily.

Talk about a man desperate to keep his paycheck

Ginger hair and freckles... FFS Is this man for real. This man is on the verge of a mental breakdown. It's time England left FIFA seeing as we are such a terrible racist country who does nothing for migrants from all over the world.

The epitome of a handwringing liberal swallowing the effluent of Islam. He’s the type of self loathing character who has sold Europe out . He’s a disgrace .

Was pathetic

Absolute clown. Bullied because you’re ginger is hardly the same as killing migrants and persecuting anyone who’s LGTB

First own goal was giving it to Qatar.
