Soccer's biggest corruption scandal.

The U.S. government’s star witness in a big-money bribery case engulfing the world of soccer 

Err...no. Maybe in the Americas this is big news. In Europe....no one cares. It's not "engulfing" world soccer. It is not even mentioned on the BBC's football page.

If they had paid the politicians 'cut' they wouldn't be in this pickle.

Wherever there is big money to be made, corruption follows. ALWAYS!!!

With so much money changing hands for these "rights" I am surprised there arent more cases like this.
