    So we now know what we had all suspected for as long as we’ve followed football – FIFA is rotten from top to bottom.

    As details began to emerge yesterday it became clear that the only guy who looked like he hadn’t dirtied his hands was Sepp Blatter. It really is terrible what all those corrupt individuals have been getting up to behind his back.

    If you can’t recognise the above as sarcasm we may have an issue, but let’s turn our attention to the allegations that we ourselves paid exorbitant bribes to secure the 2010 World Cup. The man with the longest track record of corruption is former FIFA executive Jack Warner, with accusations against him stretching back to 1991. Here’s the Telegraph summing up the 2010 bid:

    Warner is alleged to have nurtured relationships with South African officials as they tried to bid for the 2006 World Cup – at one point sending a family member to Paris to accept a briefcase containing tens of thousands of dollars in cash www.health-canada-pharmacy.com from a South African bid committee official in a hotel room.

    The money was then delivered to Warner in Trinidad and Tobago.

    [He was] told the South African government would pay $10?million (£6.5?million) to the Caribbean Football Union in exchange for his vote.

    Warner is said to have admitted that he accepted the South African offer, but South Africa, which won the bid, was unable to produce the funds.

    Eish, that is a tad embarrassing isn’t it? So who saved our bacon then and paid our bribes for us?

    Arrangements were instead made for the money to be paid from funds that Fifa would have sent to South Africa to support the World Cup. US prosecutors said that soon after the wire transfers were made to accounts held in the name of the CFU, Warner began diverting large portions for his personal use.

    Thanks FIFA for coming to the rescue and lending us the money to bribe you. Your generosity and dedication to spreading the game of football really does know no bounds.
