On a very special episode of the Men in Blazers pod, Rog is joined by New York Times' Global Sports Reporter Tariq Panja to discuss the widening fallout surrounding Gianni Infantino's plan to sell off 20% of the World Cup to private investors. Tariq and Rog break down how the plan came to fruition, how Joshua Kushner, brother of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was involved, and why UEFA, CONCACAF, and much of global football reacted with fury. Plus, Tariq explains what the future holds for Gianni Infantino and if his FIFA presidency can survive this controversy.
