Anybody else sick of the sight of Infantino?

[ChessingtonBee]

Blatter was bad enough - a corrupt bar steward.

Infantino is more slimy. Peace prize to Trump - though he knows everybody else will see through it.

You cannot watch a match without his face appearing on screen.

Remembering 1966 and having been at the quarter final and semi final, we were aware of Jules Rimet but r soles like Infantino never got a look in. It was just Alf Ramsey and the team plus key players from the other sides.

 

[Melman]

Yes he's a massive throbber

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Why is FIFA on everything as well?

I’d be more than happy if we boycotted the World Cup.

As he'd been dead 10 years, he was unlikely to show up

President at the time was Stanley Rous, who I imagine turned up at a few.

 

[EastBilneyBee]

......how else is he going to collect his 'Frequent Flyer' and airmiles perks - the WC only comes around every 4 years, he's got to make hay while the sun shines - talking of which, who's bloody stupid idea was it to have the WC in USA in the heat of summer, and so soon after the last time it was held there - AND they're looking to bid for the 2038 iteration as well, apparently????

how long before football - sorry, soccer - becomes a game of 4 quarters of c25minutes each?

and yes, it would be interesting to find out who (else) voted for Trump to have the peace prize?

 

[JANORAK]

I saw a ghoulish-looking Collina behind him at a match a few days ago. I wondered if he could be tempted to take matters into his own hands. I suspect not.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Yes

 

[Houghton Bee]

Doubt the paedophile appeasing **** will spend a cent of his own money during the entire competition.

 

[nocoat]

No more mentions of Trump now please (at least until he isn't a politician any more). We all know how this plays out!

 

[hanworthbee]

Yes and John Terry

 

[Chomp]

Yes and John Terry

I have been wondering who appointed JT as the go to figure for the TV cameras when we’re playing.

 

[Mr Tree]

I've barely noticed him, but was already sick of the sight of him, so yes

 

[Gee Bee]

As he'd been dead 10 years, he was unlikely to show up

President at the time was Stanley Rous, who I imagine turned up at a few.

Rous was shown on tv and mentioned constantly during 1966

 

[Gee Bee]

I have been wondering who appointed JT as the go to figure for the TV cameras when we’re playing.

Disappointing that he’s not wearing full England kit though.

 

[Banana]

You cannot watch a match without his face appearing on screen.

The broadcasters are obliged to show him at least once a match, but not whilst he is on the phone.

 

[RoyBee]

Slimey doesn’t even scratch the surface does it! Utterly loathsome.

 

[whyteleafebee76]

Does he teleport to games as he is at a lot of games. Or is it a hologram of him perhaps?

 

[A Real Mysteron]

I have been wondering who appointed JT as the go to figure for the TV cameras when we’re playing.

I’m sure he’s got an England kit on underneath, ready to join in the celebrations.

 

[tinman]

Haven’t seen him at Wimbledon yet. I’ll keep looking.

 

[kaebess]

Slime ball of the biggest order.

One of his flights was less than a 100 miles ? Took longer to get on the plane, fly and land than to drive in the car he was already in.

Says FIFA is sustainable ! His carbon footprint just on flights alone over the competition will be more than 200 average peoples, total annual usage.

Unbelievable Jeff

 

[ChessingtonBee]

Disappointing that he’s not wearing full England kit though.

Maybe they could give him a job dressed up completely in St George's Flags like that old fellow used to back in the day( the old bloke wore union flags though).

 

[Hippobee]

Yes. And follows in the steps of Blatter and Platini.

Corrupt to the core. If the object of FIFA is to make billions and offer a backhander or two to a few shady characters to get a WC staged in a country on the other side of the world, then objectives achieved.

As far as being a force of good for the game. Hmm.

I have never been less interested in a WC than this one, and George Dawes bears much of the responsibility.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Sycophantino

 

[sheffbee]

just a thoroughly nasty horrid little man. I don'tsuppose he likes me much either!

 

[kenbee]

He has one of those faces,you just want to punch.

 

[ChessingtonBee]

Rous was shown on tv and mentioned constantly during 1966

In the days of 405 lines, black and white telly, picking out people in the crowd was not a thing. The queen obviously featured after the cup final. Otherwise not much.

I can recall Rous’ name. Cannot remember ever seeing him on telly though.

 

[JANORAK]

More interestingly, I saw Hierro and Rio Ferdinand behind him yesterday(?), and Ines Garcia featured pleasingly and often, in the Spanish match.

 

[Bee(h)Iver]

Yes and John Terry

Has he been with a different player’s wife each time? I’ve always imagined he collects them like panini stickers…

 

[jlove]

Personally, I’m sick of the lingering camera shots of ordinary-looking people in the posh seats for no apparent reason.

He's literally standing next to the Queen as she hands over the trophy

 

[GuyBee]

Yes, been sick of him for more than 10 years. He lead a campaign to get rid of the corrupt Blatter. Now its like Nero following Caligulla

How has Mexico, had it 3 times since we hosted it once in 1966? How come the US, Spain, Germany, and the Middle East will have hosted it twice before it comes here again......earliest that can be is 2042, when I'll be 80. Thanks

 

[ChessingtonBee]

QED. Not spotlighted at all matches - like infantino. Stood next to the Queen. Nobody cares who is next to the Queen.

They just look at her and the winning team, followed by the losers.

I certainly don’t remember Rous.

 

[TadB]

Why is FIFA on everything as well?

I’d be more than happy if we boycotted the World Cup.

We did once, and it set English football back 10 years, it took anther 10 to recover, assuming it ever did,

We're not very good at corruption.

There was never a vote taken to give Trump that ridiculous peace prize, it was a unilateral decision taken by Infantino and that sums up the current state of FIFA and he’ll no doubt be crowing that this is the greatest World Cup ever.

 

[Pixelator]

He has one of those faces,you just want to punch.

He has a face that looks like you could rip it off and reveal his true alien visage. It's a barely passable disguise.

I reckon it will be Kurt

 

[SOTGBee]

Yes, I am too, and all the other people in the posh seats I don’t care about, and picking up little kids crying to focus on

 

[Banana]

He has to be on TV. He's that ecomaniacical (is that a word?)

 

[aslan]

Yes, I am too, and all the other people in the posh seats I don’t care about, and picking up little kids crying to focus on

That's the best bit

 

[BURFORD BEE]

Self serving Slimeball!

 

[FarnhamBee]

It's not always him, FIFA bought a job lot of old "The Hood" puppets when Gerry Anderson gave up making Thunderbirds . . .

 

[JANORAK]

I actually haven’t noticed him tonight (in Miami). Assuming his omnipresence, I must’ve looked away just at the right time! I have noticed Mario Kempes, Simeone Snr., and Mr & Mrs Beckham in the posh seats.

 

[heebeegeebee]

And a dog wearing ear defenders.

No. Missed that. I was expecting a Spice Girls joke…

84mins I can see an og. settling this… 2 Argies injured and subbed…

See what you did there

 

[Shirley Bee]

Yes, odious creep. But at least we don’t have to listen to him as well, like we do with Wayne ‘state the blindingly obvious in a thick Scouse accent’ Rooney.

 

[Rob-BEE]

Absolutely. But if it wasn't him it would be someone else equally abhorrent. Is what it is.
