FIFA is worse than the Mafia

  • Youth players (i.e. supposed future World Cup stars) using old equipment
  • The inability of semipro players being unable to buy equipment or play on an appropriate field because soccer officials in some countries would rather pay their executives to stay in lavish hotels
