Netflix's 'FIFA Uncovered' Docu-series is a lot of fun.

I mean...we're not breaking any new ground here, FIFA took corruption and dialed it up to 11.

Awarding Russia and Qatar at the same time so the sitting committees could take maximum bribes before riding off into the sunset was as plain as day.

I'm glad it pissed off the USA to the point where they actually mobilized some of their influence to actually do something about it but I dont think Warner, Glazer, Platini or Blatter & Co. actually ever suffered any real consequences.

Nobody spent a day in jail, maybe a few bucks were paid back? I'm not entirely sure about that either.
