Soccer It to Me!

Soccer, the most popular sport in the world, has just been exposed as being a criminal enterprise benefiting its overseers, the FIFA. Mucho millions of dollars of bribes have been paid to FIFA executives in order to select venues for the World Cup matches ... as well as, now it seems, to pick sports equipment sponsors for the FIFA teams ... see: Washington Post Article.

If soccer fans think that the corruption in this sport stops at the picking of venues for the World Cup matches or equipment sponsorships, I think that they may have a few more surprises. In particular, the officiating at the last World Cup matches had too many questionable calls for my taste. And I also suspect that many players may someday also be implicated for shady dealings in key match-ups.

Ole!
