“I hope your right, because this FIFA thing might be the crime of the century, if not the last two centuries.”

Maybe for the U.S. But I'm guessing that the countries where soccer is really popular it is business as usual. I knew a guy in college from Honduras. When he came to the U.S. the first time (for college) he had a $20 bill in his passport as he gave it to the American guy at the airport.

The Customs guy just laughed. “You don't need to do that up here!”

My friend was amazed. He said where he was from, NOTHING got done without a bribe. Car mechanic, plumber, city paper work, etc.

Yeah, I remember when the FIFA scandal almost collapsed the world economy.
