The Last Word with Matt Cooper · Who Will Win The FIFA World Cup 2026? · 11 Jun 2026 podcast

They've suddenly found a bit of form before the tournament.

South Africa back for the first time since 2010.

And this is when you get into it.

So I think, like a lot of this tournament, there are two sides to it.

Yes, there's a lot we can actually criticize, but that can actually kind of...

stand alongside stuff to get excited about without that necessarily contradicting each other.

Well, I mean, this is the thing.

Like, so...

This visa issue, it's been such a telling controversy about this World Cup because it articulates so many, it kind of brings together so many strands around it, not least Infantino's very craven relationship with Trump.

But as you say there, or I touch on, that it actually has resulted in nothing for FIFA, begging kind of the question of what the actual point of this is.

I mean, FIFA have essentially helped

sorry, the Trump administration have helped FIFA on nothing they need.

But then it's remarkable after that, after this failure, which is beginning to actually cause political tension for Infantino, where he got into this tournament looking unassailable.

And at the moment, like I wrote this on Tuesday,

I've been told from a lot of Federation heads that there are impressions being made on Federations to write letters of endorsement for a new term for Infantino.

But then, like, I mean, he's gone on about just chill, relax.

I mean, it's easy to do that when you're flying around in a Qatari private jet and none of this stuff affects you.

And again, this is...

Oh yeah, and they're more than willing to flex their power there.

And look, people might say, go on, it's a referee, it's not a team in the way the issue had been with Indonesia.
