FIFA president Gianni Infantino hit out at criticism of Qatar from Europe on the eve of the World Cup in a bizarre press conference address.
The game's global governing body has been attacked for its decision to take the finals to Qatar, where the treatment of migrant workers and the rights of LGBTQ+ people have been in the spotlight.
Ahead of the opening game of the tournament on Sunday, Infantino walked into a press conference and delivered an extraordinary monologue, speaking for nearly half an hour.
