The Athletic FC.
Hi, this is Jack Lang, football writer at The Athletic.
I'm here in Mexico City where it's just starting to rain again after a massive downpour earlier.
I was at the Estadio Azteca for Gianni Infantino's opening remarks before the World Cup.
You may remember three and a half years ago at Qatar, his infamous speech, today I am migrant worker, today I am...
Gay, all of that.
Today's effort was less spectacular, probably for better if you're a Cheney and Fantino.
He was asked about a few of the issues bubbling away ahead of this World Cup, the ticket prices.
He was unrepentant on that dynamic pricing, just part of the modern world, according to him.
He was asked about referee Omar Artan, Somali, who hasn't been allowed to travel into the U.S.,
Initially, he said sometimes we have to chill, relax when faced with such issues.
Clarified that a bit, saying that he had been working behind the scenes.
But obviously, that's not a great look for FIFA or the U.S.,
And there was also a lot of the typical Infantino reverie, touching the trophy in front of him.
What a wonderful trophy.
The football, the magic and power of the football.
Children's dreams, all of this stuff.
And of course, his mission that football should unite the world.
Whether that's going to go according to plan over the next six weeks, we're going to have to find out.
