FIFA President Gianni Infantino probably doesn't have many friends among football fans in Germany. MagentaTV commentator Christian Straßburger doesn't seem to be a big Infantino fan either. When Infantino was shown sitting in the stands at the Wales vs England game, Straßburger couldn't help but quip. "Unlike in the circus, the clowns are sitting here in the stands," he said live on TV.

Infantino's reputation - to put it mildly - has not only been scratched since his one-hour justification for the World Cup in Qatar. Last Saturday evening he defended the World Cup venue and accused the West of double standards.

"Today I feel like a Qatari, today I feel like an Arab, today I feel African. Today I feel like homosexual. Today I feel disabled, today I feel like a migrant worker," said Infantino at the beginning - and thus set the tone a keynote speech against a "double standard" from the West against Qatar and for the World Cup hosts, whom he practically acquitted of all allegations. He himself should be criticized: "Here I am, you can crucify me, that's what I'm here for." Apparently, with this speech at the latest, Infantino earned the status of "clown" in the commentator's eyes.
