Truly unprecedented behavior now from Gianni Infantino. Because of his trip to the Gulf, his own Congress, which members have been present in Paraguay for since Monday, has now been delayed for 3 hours. Folks in Asuncion fuming.

He has been too busy being a daytime Stormy Daniels for Trump.

The private jet used by Infantino, provided by FIFA sponsor Qatar Airways, appeared to be in Nigeria for refuelling earlier this morning. President of Paraguay expected to deliver some words at Congress. His schedule changed too now.

Members have been told their buffet lunch has now been moved forward to before the Congress. May assuage some folks, and prevent hangry delegates.

Gianni Infantino 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 begins FIFA Congress by apologising to members for not being around last few days and delaying the Congress by several hours because he was in the Middle East. Says it was his decision and it was very important to FIFA he was rubbing shoulders with Gulf and US leaders.

“I felt I needed to be there to represent you all,” Infantino told FIFA membership before offering the carrot of a good time in Miami next month at a special summit. Sure they’ll enjoy that.

Another notable absentee: the head of the Asian Football Confederation, Sheikh Salman did not travel to the FIFA congress. To be fair probably likely to get more time with FIFA president in the Gulf.

Paraguay president Santiago Peña delivering what might go down as me of the longest addresses from a head of state at a FIFA congress. I suppose he has been forced to wait a long time for the Congress to begin because of Gianni’s transport issues. He did thank FIFA for giving Paraguay hosting right

I think the bribes are well worth it.

certainly he does

And yet he’ll still be lauded amongst the gen pop as a hero for delivering the World Cup hosting rights for Paraguay (albeit one match) and the automatic qualification that it brings - something that I suspect he’s well aware of.

He's worse than Blatter.

Little doubt.

A shamefully corrupt man

Everyone from the after-crop of FIFA Havelange and Blatter breed would have been this way, still it's a huge disgrace!

New Onion headline “Well, We’ll, We’ll, not so easy to find a FIFA President that doesn’t suck shit, huh?”
