“We really have no influence on these decisions” – England defender Eric Dier on World Cup controversies (Video)

There has been plenty of fire exchanged between some European countries on one side and FIFA, represented by president Gianni Infantino, on the other.

But faced with these questions, England and Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier says he and his teammates have absolutely no influence over World Cup decisions, being, at the end of the day, just football players, not politicians.

🗣 “We are footballers, we’re not politicians.”
