ON JULY 7TH a motley crew gathered in Trump Tower to toast the New York skyscraper’s latest tenant: FIFA, football’s governing body. Eric Trump, the president’s son; Ronaldo, a Brazilian footballing great; and a handful of FIFA bigwigs beamed for the cameras. The biggest wig there was Gianni Infantino, FIFA’s divisive president. As well as celebrating his new office, Mr Infantino was at Trump Tower to unveil the trophy of the Club World Cup. The tournament’s final takes place in New Jersey on July 13th between Chelsea, an English team, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a French one. It is Mr Infantino’s pet project: his name appears twice on the gleaming gold prize.
