Pablo Torre Finds Out · How FIFA Tried (and Failed) to Sell the Soul of Football · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

And I think that he knew something was coming and he was gearing up for a fight.

And it's a shame because...

It was a great show.

You know, it's always a great show.

It's the World Cup.

And there'll be a lot of people at FIFA who have put in an incredible amount of work only to basically see it all go up in flames, you know, within two, two, three weeks of the tournament ending.

And it's very, very hard to see how they would ever again want to work for this man.

Well, because it's been a pattern under Infantino of pretty appalling governance, of, I would say, elasticity of rules and policies and consultation that has alienated pretty much everyone, including now even his own closest allies.

I mean, his advisor, Carlos Cordero, quit on Friday morning

I messaged Carlos on Thursday night about 7pm to say, I heard you knew nothing about this, do you want to comment?

And then I woke up the next morning and he quit.

Yeah, and he had been essentially running around after Infantino like a little puppy since 2021.

Very involved with all the planning for the North American World Cup and White House meetings on the White House task force, all of that sort of stuff.

And he basically said he wants to distance himself from it.

And then there was the most extraordinary statement from the COO of FIFA, Kevin Lamour.

This was really an extraordinary one because Kevin is a previously UEFA executive, moved over to FIFA maybe a year and a half ago.

He's one of the few people, I would say, from FIFA land that almost universally people outside of FIFA speak well of.

Right, right.

And so I don't say that lightly, but he basically came out and said, look, we've all been completely deceived by Gianni.

This was a one-man show.
