When you are talking about 150 million changing hands, this is high level organized crime.

This has long been suspected by sports folks here in the US. We should withdraw from that org. until the entire process is transparent and public.
Personally, I think the entire thing is rigged. Why do we need FIFA anyway?

Yes, true - Rugby Union Football is a far more satisfying game than soccer to play & watch..
&,
The corruption in soccer runs from on-field (penalty milking dives/fake injuries, no video referee review), to the top of FIFA, with bribes, slave labour scandals rigged voting, secret Swiss bank accounts..
Disgusting..

Well, regardless, here in SJ, right now esp., soccer is King. Carlie Lloyd has established that.
The town next to us here, has built an incredible new sports complex.
The complex has 2 Baseball fields, and 2 Soccer fields, all artificial turf, and well lit.
The field set up for American football is hardly used, unless they put a movable Soccer Goal
A prediction, in 10 years, the US will dominate soccer.

Not only FIFA authroties are gangsters but they also protect gangsters of football associations in all the member countries. I remember when we had in Poland corruption scandal in Polish Football Association and goverment tried to punish it, FIFA stepped in and threatened that Polish national team will be excluded from World Championships if goverment wont give up the case...
Such situation happend in many countries. It is one great worldwide mafia...
