Abrechnung mit FIFA-Boss Infantino: Dieser WM-Skandal muss Konsequenzen haben! | Großkreutz & Küpper

One phone call, one less red card… and suddenly the football world is turned upside down. In the new episode, Kevin Großkreutz and Corni Küpper discuss the major FIFA controversy surrounding US striker Folarin Balogun: After receiving a red card, FIFA lifted his suspension. The twist: Donald Trump is said to have raised the issue with FIFA boss Gianni Infantino beforehand. For many, this crosses a line: Are decisions still being made according to the rules – or are they now being made based on phone lists? Kevin and Corni offer clear, pointed, and opinionated commentary on the case. What does this decision mean for FIFA's credibility, video assistant refereeing (VAR), and the integrity of the competition? And why must this World Cup scandal have consequences? They also discuss Jürgen Klopp as a potential new national team coach: Is this job really right for him? Can Klopp manage the national team, or is he primarily the man for the daily chaos at his club, for the locker room energy, the fire on the training pitch, and years of development? Of course, we'll also be looking ahead to the remaining World Cup quarter-finals: Spain vs. Belgium, Norway vs. England, and Argentina vs. Switzerland. France has already qualified for the semi-finals with a win against Morocco. And what does Borussia Dortmund have to do with all of this? You'll find out in this episode. Let us know in the comments: Does the football world need to draw consequences from the Balogun decision, or is it all just a big fuss over a single incident?
