Infantino faces FIFA rebels in Zurich after his World Cup stake sale collapsed

Who wants him out, what they object to, and the election calendar.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino was due to face the FIFA Council in Zurich on Thursday, his first meeting with it since his plan to sell a minority stake in a FIFA commercial subsidiary covering tournaments including the World Cup collapsed in July, days after it was announced. A company launched by Joshua Kushner, brother of Jared Kushner, was identified as the proposed lead investor. The presidents of UEFA, the AFC and CONCACAF have called for him to go, and some members want to limit his powers. Infantino, 56, stands for re-election in March 2027; nominations close November 18.

r/baseball relives Game 3: Bauers' 11-pitch homer and a stunned Dodger Stadium

The two most-upvoted clips of the swing that put Milwaukee up 3-0, and how fans reacted.

Two of r/baseball's top posts of the week came minutes apart in Game 3 of the NLCS. One is Jake Bauers' two-run homer on the 11th pitch of his at-bat, which gave Milwaukee the lead for good; replies note how unexpected his October has been for a player one commenter calls "borderline awful" in the previous series. The other shows the Dodger Stadium crowd after Bauers and Garrett Mitchell went back to back, with a top reply complaining that the broadcasts showed no Brewers fans celebrating. About 14,000 and 8,300 upvotes in a 2.8-million-member community.

Brewers homer their way to a 3-0 NLCS lead over the Dodgers

One win from the World Series, against the team that swept them in last year's NLCS.

Jake Bauers and Garrett Mitchell hit back-to-back home runs off Blake Snell in the seventh inning to retake the lead, and Milwaukee beat Los Angeles 6-2 on Wednesday for a 3-0 series lead. Jackson Chourio had homered on Snell's first pitch of the game, and Bauers' two-run shot came on the 11th pitch of his at-bat. The two-time defending champion Dodgers had trailed 3-0 in a best-of-seven series only once before, in the 1966 World Series; only the 2004 Red Sox have come back from 0-3. Game 4 was Thursday at Dodger Stadium.
