Fifa president Gianni Infantino blasted for ‘peak cringe’ and embarrassing fashion faux-pas at Women’s World Cup final
FIFA president Gianni Infantino was blasted for his “peak cringe” performance at the Women’s World Cup final.
That’s after committing an embarrassing fashion faux-pas in Australia.
Infantino watched from the stands as England suffered a 1-0 defeat to Spain in Sydney.
Olga Carmona scored the only goal of the game with a fine hit in the 29th minute.
And it saw England’s dreams of winning back-to-back tournaments come to a shuddering end Down Under.
The Lionesses were not best pleased with their opponents, with some fans accusing Spain of play-acting throughout the game.
But the most controversial moment of the tournament may have come AFTER the final ball was kicked.
Fifa chief Infantino handed out medals to both England and Spain before presenting the latter with their World Cup trophy.
However, he caught the eye for the wrong reasons after wearing bright white trainers with a dark suit.
The combo left many supporters scratching their heads.
