if america cared at all about football there would be a World Cup SuperPAC that would funnel half a billion dollars into Sepp Blatter's pocket tomorrow

also FIFA just essentially bribed a US company so that America wouldn't make a fuss over moving Qatar to the winter

Yeah, the US is transparent enough that when cities decide to spend hundreds of millions of dollars of public money to replace stadiums that aren't even 20 years old, we can at least track down political donations and say "yep, the team owner gave a boatload of money to the mayor." Of course, that doesn't stop the city from spending that money, but at least its transparent.

You've done well, kiddo.
Doesn't even need to be FIFA, if the English FA told the premier league clubs they did not need to release players for the competition and refused to move the season around pretty much 75% of the top players in the world would be omitted from the WC.

They'd be expelled from the champions league if they did this so they won't. Either all of Uefa refuse to release players or no-one does.
