Infantino watched from the stands as England suffered a 1-0 defeat to Spain in Sydney.

Olga Carmona scored the only goal of the game with a fine hit in the 29th minute.

And it saw England’s dreams of winning back-to-back tournaments come to a shuddering end Down Under.

The Lionesses were not best pleased with their opponents, with some fans accusing Spain of play-acting throughout the game.

But the most controversial moment of the tournament may have come AFTER the final ball was kicked.

Fifa chief Infantino handed out medals to both England and Spain before presenting the latter with their World Cup trophy.

However, he caught the eye for the wrong reasons after wearing bright white trainers with a dark suit.

The combo left many supporters scratching their heads.

One fan said: “Infantino wearing trainers with a designer suit is peak cringe. Embarrassing.”

Another declared: “There’s no excuse for a grown man wearing white trainers with a suit.

“Infantino looks like a page boy at a wedding reception who’s been allowed to swap shoes after the photographer has finished up.”
