Couldn't agree more.

They haven't begun to scratch the surface of the rot in this organization. The "beautiful game" has been quite ugly for some time now.

Corrupt? Lessee....give the World Cup to a country that has no real soccer team, no history of participation in the World Cup at any really significant level, plays in sweltering heat so the schedule has to be rearranged to play in the winter when all the soccer leagues are in full swing, and so on. What possible hint of corruption is in all that? :biggrin2:

Professional sports stopped being about "competition" long ago.
