Gianni Infantino after he finished preparing a speech where he identified himself as a gay Arab African migrant worker who understands discrimination because he used to be ginger pic.twitter.com/rbEzAWOqbJ

What's really striking about this (absolutely extraordinary) speech from Infantino is how angry and bitter and...unhappy he seems on the eve of what is, in theory, meant to be the world's greatest sporting carnival and his crowning achievement.

Infantino: Hold my beer, but only inside a FIFA suite and not in the rest of the stadium
Exceptional effort from Gianni Infantino to see how many absurd, harmful, misleading, unhinged and downright disrespectful things he can fit into one address.

It’s a massive shame for Qatar that Infantino is doing this speech. He’s the worst possible ambassador for their country.

FIFA boss Infantino told WC nations 2 weeks ago not to drag football into every ideological/political battle. He is now 45 mins into a speech on global immigration, workers rights, LGBT issues, European colonialism, freckles, female suffrage, racism, disability, orientalism...

Infantino's 'opening remarks' have now gone on for 22 minutes of a 40-45 conference. He is yet to take a single question. His comments are historically rambling & deluded. It is beyond belief that this man is in charge of world football -- & has just been reelected unopposed.

Gianni Infantino going full Trump. Dividing and ruling by playing Europe off against the rest of the world. Insulting to say he feels like a migrant worker when the men who built this World Cup were paid as little as £1 an hour to live and work in often terrible conditions pic.twitter.com/yUT7x6z79l

Infantino has out Blattered Sepp Blatter today. This speech will go down in history, just not in the way he intended https://t.co/xicJcBrNB0

If Infantino’s speech was competing in the “World Cup of speeches” - he would have lost all games 0-4
