FIFA President Gianni Infantino has taken soccer fans on a wild ride in recent weeks - and upsetting several soccer federations in the process. The chaos began when he proposed a highly-controversial idea, in which stakes of the World Cup would be sold to private equity investors. UEFA, one of the biggest soccer federations in the world, immediately called for his job and threatened to pull its athletes from FIFA competitions until he stepped aside. However, Infantino still has vocal supporters, ranging from Argentinian officials to U.S. President Donald Trump. So where does that leave the state of soccer - both in the present and in the future? Andrew Pinsent fills in for Bill and is joined by Anthony Leblanc, a former NHL CEO and co-owner of multiple franchises. Today, he is an advisor to potential expansion partners for the National Hockey League.
