Its now. They have all just made their speech to the assembly.

Tokyo Sexwale has dropped out, so now there are 4 left.

First round of voting went like this:

Infantino 88

No one got the 104 votes needed in the first round to win.

Doesn't matter who is president really.
Whole organization is corrupt to the bone and an insult to the game.
They should once and for all destroy them and build it up again from the ground.
Now we have again a guy who was with UEFA from 2000 on. Anybody who thinks he isn't doing exactly the work of Blatter and Platini is a fool.
Oh well, better than fukking Salman, the guy who had no problem torturing athletes from his country because they had the "wrong" religion.

Damn, risky play that paid very nicely!
Well done pal

EDIT: And since it doesn't matter anyway who is the new pres, I think they should have just voted for the guy with the killer name! TOKYO SEXWALE, I mean: does it get any better???

Thank you. I was very happy with the 2nd round of voting. I was sure most of Ali's votes would have gone to Salman. But thankfully not.

Not sure, but if I am not wrong, Ali is Sunni and Salman Shia? Might have played a role for some countries when they switched
