B: lukewarm national sentiment towards soccer. If this were the UK or Germany for example then FIFA could threaten to ban them from International competition as effective leverage

'Lukewarm' is wildly optimistic, try utter apathy. If you guys want to return the favor and investigate our sports leagues that would be great; sadly I doubt any of them used your banks.

It's so cute that the rest of the world doesn't realize how thoroughly the DOJ will gently caress FIFA.

I think you're too optimistic, or I'm too cynical, because if they start getting blowback ("the US is destroying our game!") I can see them quietly wrapping up the case and taking plea deals from a few midlevel patsies.
