Infantino meets Putin

Day -782. WorldCup2018‬.

New Fifa president Gianni Infantino visited Russian stadiums that will host the World Cup, met with Vladimir Putin and announced that the World Cup will definitely go ahead in Russia and that it will be the best ever. I would have challenged him, just as a twisted joke, to have told Putin that Fifa were thinking about moving the World Cup to the U.S. as there was concerns about Russia's record of silencing political opponents, and incidents of racial abuse in stadiums. Now that would have either been one hell of a meeting to read about, or it would have been the meeting of which the details Infantino would never have been allowed to share.
