Today I join others from across our game and call for Gianni Infantino to resign as FIFA President.
Infantino has debased the office that he promised to elevate. He has lied, deceived and tried to feather his own nest at the expense of the game he is supposed to serve.
He has lost the support of his senior staff, his closest advisers, the vast majority of people who devote their lives to this sport and even, it would seem, the FIFA Peace Prize winner.
It is too late to save his dignity but it is not too late to save football. He should go. Now.

Dizem que Pelé não teria chance no futebol moderno.
- O campo tinha o mesmo tamanho.
- O jogo durava os mesmos 90 minutos.
- A bola pesava até 30% mais.
- As chuteiras eram mais pesadas, duras e com menos tração.
- Os gramados eram muito piores e a arbitragem deixava bater.
A pergunta não é se Pelé jogaria hoje.
É qual jogador de hoje conseguiria jogar nas condições de Pelé.
“Why everyone suddenly hates Messi” is genuinely the most misguided take of all time.
I’ve seen so many posts similar to this lately. Painting Argentina and Messi as the ‘victims’ of a big hate campaign. Pull up whatever irrelevant algorithmic data you want. Blame paid accounts. Quote psychological theory. At the end of the day… it’s pretty simple.
Barcelona allegedly paid off referees for 2 decades, spanning Messi’s entire career…
The Argentinian FA are being investigated for money laundering. We’ve all seen the blatant refereeing favouritism across two World Cups now. We all saw their violent, aggressive and petulant behaviour all tournament. We aren’t blind…
Inter Miami, disproportionate to the rest of the MLS, hoarded old European talent and walk the league as soon as Messi arrives. Somehow qualifying for the Club World Cup without actually meeting any criteria for such qualification. This is a plastic club, with no history and purchased success…
While you can’t blame all of this on Messi, obviously. He is clearly complicit. He clearly benefits from the purchased success of such institutions. He is clearly a money milking machine for FIFA and America. Something Infantino is well aware of… he ‘suffers’ with Messi after all.
And people don’t like it. People don’t like blatantly manufactured success. People don’t like cheats. People don’t like teachers pets. People don’t like players that try and get other players (Cucurella) unfairly sent off in a World Cup final when they are clearly being outclassed on the pitch. People don’t like people that lack integrity.
But nah. I guess we’re all swept up in mass hysteria! We’re all brain washed! And this is dangerous rhetoric!
Shut up. The Messi bias is nauseating.
Ronaldo was 40 years old when he scored and won a Final against Spain. Messi is 39 yes old & couldn't register a shot on target against Spain.
The media won't tell you this.
🚨Portugal foi a ÚNICA seleção da Copa do Mundo 2026 a ter todos os ingressos esgotados de todos os seus jogos na fase de grupos.
Efeito Cristiano Ronaldo. 🤯🐐
