"25 billion for a piece of the big cake? That's wrong! You can not sell out football. Football - the most popular sport in the world - belongs to the people. #Fifa #Uefa @Infantino #FIFAWorldCup."

-- Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter railing against the proposal by investors to pay $25 billion for the commercial rights to two FIFA competitions. What he didn't realize is that the "@Infantino" he tagged was not his successor, Gianni Infantino, who presented the proposal to the FIFA Council but a California-based company specializing in baby products.
