> Where did Infantino come from? Answer: UEFA

That’s such a weak argument. So every European person or organisation guilty by association? Are the Swiss doubly guilty?

> Europe had managed to keep the lions share of footballs global revenues to itself, while keeping Africa as basically a "football nursery" where teenagers get almost trafiked across Europe before 90% are discarded.

UEFA is not running any African competition or including any African team. What’s your point?

African federations might see the short term gains of Infantino’s bribes, but long term maximising profit is corrosive. They have a much better shot at growing the African cup of nations, which is not doing too bad and increasing in popularity (even in Europe to some degree).

It is not hypocritical of UEFA to point that out.

> Just saying, Europe & UEFA arent necessarily the angels in any of this

That’s a strawman. Nobody said that.
