Yes, seriously bad miscalculation on this one by Infantino! After what went on in the World Cup with the Balogun/Trump debacle, UEFA were already well on the way to gunning for him so this has given them an open goal to get more support from outside Europe for getting shot of him! You never know with Fifa but surely his days are numbered. Whether his replacement is any better is another matter of course.

Opinion pretty much divided then.

Apparently he's gone crying to Trump to make them let him keep his job.  What a fucking bellend.

English FA with balls of steel. “Please take our letter back supporting Gianni we no longer mean it cause we will get flak if we still do. Principles? Oh yes of course we have principles” And don’t forget to construct some gallows for Eckhert

Infantino said to have "full backing" of the FIFA executive crooks. As one of those there was from UEFA, it will be interesting to see this spun.
