... Eduardo Li, Julio Rocha, Costas Takkas, Eugenio Figueredo, Rafael Esquivel and José Maria Marin...Sounds like the Swiss have their own problems with illegal Mexicans.

They should all be behind the bars quickly “not the french bars for an apero” of course
To: mikey_hates_everything
That was the first thing I thought of as well, based on the rumors of shenanigans surrounding the 96 games here in Atlanta.

Not a good sign when the politics of a sport is more entertaining than the game itself.

Anyone that pays attention to soccer knows that FIFA is 100%corrupt. I’m just shocked someone was actually indicted.
To: bob_denard
Soccer was originally invented for people with no arms. If you had arms, you were required to play goalie.

"Nine soccer officials and five others were charged for corruption." Who cares....
Soccer is a stinking commie game that's played mostly by girls and wineos..... Like softball... (Going to my bunker now).

Hmmm, let's see ...
Bloated big government bureaucracies, check
Bleeding-heart enviro regulations that are choking growth, check
Pandering to the Homo Agenda, check
playing down the Islamo-terrorism menace, check ...
Golly, I think we ARE Europe now

In Oklahoma, we refer to soccer players as “Foot Fairies”..
