How corrupt is that!! Total disgrace, won't police themselves, full of untouchables.
Superb programme, why can't they get cleaned up.

Olympics have done it (to a certain extent), so why can't FIFA.

IMHO England should withdraw from bidding (as should all other nations) till FIFA gets sorted out, but money talks, and it is more lucrative covering it up and getting the tournament, and no doubt paying backhanders.

    Nothing no one doesnt already know. As long as theres big money in football it will be corrupt.

    There is big money in a lot of things.... but they don't need to be corrupt!
    It's only if we allow it to be.

    Andrew Jennings' book on the subject is a very good but depressing read. IIRC it's called Foul, and claims to blow the lid on not just the backhanders in Panorama, but the way the whole of FIFA is apparently up their eyeballs in this sort of thing.

    Clearly I don't know if any or none of it is true, but Jennings seems to know his stuff.
