  • 55-zip. Now that’s a high scoring game!

    Seriously though, I only watched the WC for the first time this year, and I don’t know the history behind FIFA corruption. What I observed over the past month was:

    • FIFA forbidding host cities from running any other events during the WC (I’ve never heard of such arrogance)
    • some serious price gouging around tickets which was no doubt helped by the former
    • reports people couldn’t even bring their own water bottles to a summer event in freakin’ Florida (this is just criminal)
    • the Trump card scandal
    • allegations of certain teams (notably Argentina) being favoured in the officiating

    And now, of course, selling the whole organization out at the highest levels. So how did we get here? Or do I not want to know…
