European FIFA boycott spells trouble for Gianni Infantino

It is probably an understatement to say that football's world governing body, FIFA, is no stranger to controversy. But it looks like the organisation's current boss, Gianni Infantino, has pushed things a bit too far.

Fifty-five European countries have now promised to boycott all FIFA competitions if the proposal goes ahead.
