It's a lot easier to get paid in the US than in all of the other countries in this hemisphere. *laughs in Canada*

It is very funny to me how resistant American goons are to the idea that the US soccer federation and all the corporations associated with it are just as dirty and corrupt as the rest of the soccer establishment. Yeah, man, it's totally someone else bribing on behalf of the US. joepinetree fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Mar 31, 2024 |

There was a sports agency called TFM. You may not have heard of TFM. But you probably remember Traffic, which was what became TFM. Traffic was the agency that was originally from Brazil but moved to the US and got caught as one of the groups bribing everyone to bring Copa America Centenario to the US. Funny how those bribes were needed, when you also had giant crowds, tv, and nebulous promoters. Also, funny how even after uncovering all the bribes Copa America Centenario still went ahead. In any case, TFM, which used to be Traffic, is now Roc Nation. Because the Jay-Z owned company wanted to "expand its opportunities" in the coming world cup, to be hosted in the US. Busy few summers. Copa America in 2024, club world cup in 2025, actual world cup in 2026. But yeah, totally, the US doesn't have to bribe anyone, it just makes sense.

Jose posted:Chuck blazer wasn't corrupt at all he just had a Manhattan penthouse purely for his cats paid for via bribes I really want to know how that works. Do you hire a household employee who lives in the penthouse and feeds and takes care of the cats? Because I would honestly be comfortable with that job.

Thinking about how America, the worldwide bastion of morality and financial transparency, simply doesn't bribe or take bribes from anyone.

Americans would never bribe anyone! Most righteous nation! It’s just money doing the talking! More people would go to Brazil for another World Cup than some deserted mall town with a sprayed-over nfl field.

Americans think their country doesn't have corruption because they legalized it and called it lobbying

If you think your FA/confederation aren't corrupt, they just aren't as good at it as the other ones

Remember when England lost the bid for 2022 and 1) blamed the BBC for being rude to fifa 2) complained that they had been assured that their bribes would be sufficient to secure the bid

I remember Australia complaining that their gifts of "a nice box of wine" to each committee member somehow couldn't compete with envelopes full of cash being slipped under hotel room doors
