The Emerging "Arms for Soccer Balls" Scandal

A dark day for Fifa after claims of arms deals for World Cup votes from the Guardian [of the UK]
"The shockwaves from the corruption scandal that brought down Sepp Blatter continue to reverberate, with claims in Germany that the 2006 World Cup vote was influenced by a shipment of rocket-propelled grenades and allegations in Egypt that a Fifa executive solicited bribes during the 2010 bidding race."
This scandal just got SOOO much darker than I had suspected.  I am beginning to wonder if FIFA is going to survive as a professional sport organization.
