Infantino's bizzare speech & Eric Dier on playing in Doha

FIFA President Gianni Infantino delivers a bizarre speech saying he "feels like a migrant worker, like a gay, like a Qatari" as he responds to criticism over FIFA hosting the World Cup in a country where human rights are restricted.

Meanwhile England's Eric Dier says the players "have absolutely no say in where we play", before adding that it's a "difficult situation" having to answer "these kind of questions".
