JEFF POWELL MBE: It's time England led the football world again by standing up to mafia godfather Gianni Infantino - his plan to sell the World Cup is a bribe by any other name and there's only one way we can save our sport from extinction

Daily Mail columnist Jeff Powell MBE argues that FIFA president Gianni Infantino's plans to commercialise and effectively 'sell' the World Cup in share lots represents a form of bribery that threatens the integrity of football. Powell calls on England to take a leadership role in world football by standing up to Infantino and opposing the plans. He frames the issue as an existential threat to the sport, comparing Infantino's approach to corporate greed trampling on the traditions of the game.
