FIFA president Gianni Infantino has claimed the World Cup has been “the best ever.”
The Group stages were full of final day drama and Infantino says “record breaking” TV figures prove the popularity of the tournament so far.
Infantino said: “I have seen all the matches, indeed, and put very simply and very clearly, this has been the best group stage of a World Cup ever. So it’s very promising for the remainder of the World Cup. But the matches have been of great, great quality in beautiful stadiums - we knew that already. However, as well, the public who was there was incredible.
