FIFA usually wins big, but lost some confidence during the World Cup in Qatar.

Even before the epic final, won by Lionel Messi and Argentina, FIFA president Gianni Infantino called the tournament, held in Qatar, "the greatest World Cup ever". 

There has been a scandal announcing the success of the most political competition in the 12 years since the wealthy emirate was chosen as host by the former FIFA president

FIFA's main role is to oversee the rules of international football and ensure that the World Cup takes place on time.

When the match started, the focus was on the pitch and FIFA raised the issue at the start of Matchday 3 when Messi and Argentina lost 2-1 to Saudi ArabiaS

A day later, Germany lost to Japan and Brazil impressed the world in their first game against Serbia. Morocco took over and were the first African or Arab country to play the final

The show moved on to a group stage which saw Japan, South Korea and Croatia qualify for the round of 16 and Germany and Belgium

Teams from every country qualify for the tournament, and Infantino can repeat his claim that football has "been truly global for the first time".

While Sunday's final was a classic, Argentina won on penalties after a 3-3 draw, and everyone but France felt they had won.

FIFA presidents have always booed each other in the World Cup final. The same thing happened on Sunday when Infantino was announced for the award show.
