Infantino: USA could host World Cup tomorrow

New FIFA president Gianni Infantino says he holds no debt to the United States for helping crack down on corruption in his ranks with the investigatory tools it has at its disposal, or for U.S. Soccer helping get him elected.

"The infrastructures are there and the football of the United States has really progressed a lot in the last few years in the population," he said. "Women’s football is absolutely fantastic.

The men’s national team has been participating in the World Cup since 1990 so the results are there.”
