London: Joe Cole and Gary Lineker harshly criticized the World Cup cameras for constantly cutting in front of Infantino. Joe Cole and Gary Lineker couldn't understand why the World Cup live broadcasts kept cutting to FIFA President Gianni Infantino's face the entire time.

According to Thai News Agency, Infantino, who flew across the United States, Canada, and Mexico during the group stage, attended up to two matches a day, often hundreds of miles apart, and on some days even required three connecting flights. But recently, Joe Cole and Gary Lineker, two former England internationals, commented on this issue, asking what the point is for fans to see Infantino's face so often.

Infantino was greatly disappointed by the change in Folarin Balogun's red card punishment for the US player, from an immediate one-match ban to a one-year suspended sentence. US President Donald Trump later admitted that he himself called FIFA to request a review of the decision.
