FIFA Arrests Made for Fraud

but we cannot also have the game run by say England/spain/Italy/Germany with their self interest ways or also ran by Real Madrid/Barcelona/Man Utd and co with their greedy corporate self-interest ways either.

This is my worry too Dave. Unfortunately I think this exactly the way we're headed.

For all their faults FIFA did some great work in the developing football countries.

Only because someone made a personal fortune out of it.

Most large organisations are self serving and corrupt. I'm not convinced whatever replaces FIFA will be much better. I imagine they'll simply be less arrogant and will know how to hide the money better.

Yeah I think too that whatever organisation replaces Fifa will not necessarily be better corruption wise. Sad thing though, but not surprising in this age.

Both should have been banned for life anyway as they can never be trusted again.
