'Fifa needs to clean up its act.'

Gary Neville . Image: Alamy Stock Photo GARY NEVILLE believes Fifa president Gianni Infantino is “the worst face” to represent the Qatar World Cup after his controversial monologue on Saturday and wants the governing body to “clean up its act”.

🗣️ "FIFA is a poor representation of what football is, a beautiful game... I think FIFA needs to clean up its act." “I’m sick of these leaders like Johnson, Trump, Infantino and Blatter — they don’t unite, they divide, all their language is about division, even though they think they’re bringing people together, they’re not.

“We’ve got to have independence and democracy. He elects himself back into position and I think he’s the worst face to represent the Middle East, Arabs, Muslims and the Qatar World Cup.” “From accusations of corruption in the bidding process to the treatment of migrant workers who built the stadiums, where many lost their lives.

“Weird, really strange considering there was a league programme only seven days ago,” Shearer said on the BBC.really like? Rare insights on sport's biggest names from the writers who know them best. Listen to Behind the Lines podcast.“There’s a lot spoken about, but I hope once the football gets under way it starts feeling like a World Cup and we can sit and enjoy what’s hopefully a great spectacle.
