FIFA president wants better behavior from male players and says they have 'something to learn from the women's game'
FIFA President Gianni Infantino holds the official ball of the upcoming Women's Soccer World Championship as he poses for photographers during a press conference at the end of an executive committee meeting in Rome, Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2019.
There is less simulation and time wasting in the women’s game, according to Infantino, and it’s time for men to clean up their act to improve the image of soccer. “Women are nicer than men,” Infantino said Saturday. “Probably generally because sometimes ... we men feel that we need to show how strong we are, as probably human nature, and this is reflected as well in some of the behavior in society in general ... but also on the football pitch.”
