FIFA President Gianni Infantino is abandoning a controversial $20 billion private equity proposal to sell stakes in future World Cup profits. Top FIFA executives are publicly distancing themselves from the plan, which triggered fierce global outrage and threats of a complete boycott from European governing body UEFA. Jonathan Wilson, football writer for The Guardian, joins to share what's behind the conflict between FIFA and UEFA, whether there is a bigger battle over the governance of world soccer, and whether Gianni Infantino can survive the backlash.
