DOHA, Qatar — European soccer has again showed public frustration with FIFA president Gianni Infantino at the World Cup. This time it was in the Denmark camp. Danish soccer federation president Jesper Møller pledged he wouldn't vote for Infantino in March when he runs unopposed for re-election and also hinted at wishing to walk away from FIFA membership.
