Kevin Lamour, FIFA COO, just said to @apnews.com that even he didn't nothing about Infantino's plan and he too was deceived. Happy to read that: thanks to my sources, for once I was the first on this news. I wrote it yesterday in Italian newspaper 'Domani'. www.editorialedomani.it/sport/uefa-r...
The Titanic's orchestra is packing up its instruments, Gianni.

The cold war between UEFA and FIFA is coming to an end; we are witnessing the onset of Football's World War 1. As someone wrote to me: #NoKing. My article for Domani (in Italian). www.editorialedomani.it/sport/uefa-r...
If you are intrigued by the story of Lazio and #Polymarket that I touched upon yesterday on @endofsportpod.bsky.social, this article is for you. footballpolitics.substack.com/p/lazio-poly...
It is time to show some backbone, at least on this issue. And my Italian colleagues at today's press conference really ought to ask Malagò where he stands in this all-important battle against Infantino - a matter that is somewhat more significant than the problems facing our national team.
Pallonate in FacciaUEFA and European federations are threatening to boycott the World Cup in opposition to Infantino's plan, which aims to transform the event into a company in order to sell shares to private investors (close to Trump). 👇
To put it as simply as possible: Infantino is the greatest threat football has ever faced. He cannot be re-elected in 2027, and he should have nothing more to do with the world of sport.

If you want to know all the worst, sordid stories behind the hilarious decline of Italian football, you just have to listen to this.
The End of SportPirlo, Polymarket, and the Decline and Fall of Italian Football @valmoggia.bsky.social of @pallonateinfaccia.bsky.social joins to discuss the Pirlo/Russia/gambling scandal and what it teaches us about the larger structural problems in Italian football. open.spotify.com/episode/4uBs...
A cringeworthy masterpiece from an Infantino who is now completely out of control.
Pallonate in Faccia"Sorry that you were so consumed by hate and criticism that you missed the beauty of the World Cup." In the past few hours, FIFA President #Infantino posted a long message on Instagram against those he considers his "haters." 👇
There is an aspect of the World Cup that very few have discussed, yet one that has had a far greater impact on the lives of local communities than the cost of match tickets: the short-term rental business. I wrote about it for Domani (in Italian). www.editorialedomani.it/sport/i-mond...
A different kind of football is possible. My new article on @valigiablu.it (in Italian, for those who can read my complicated language).
Pallonate in FacciaThe last World Cup was yet another confirmation of the Faustian pact between Infantino and the worst of international politics. But changing football is not an impossible mission. Pallonate in Faccia on @valigiablu.it (in Italian). www.valigiablu.it/trump-infant...
