    Ultra Axiomatics, Axiomatiques, Axiomatischen, Axiomáticos, Assiomatici, Axiomatici et al.:

    The new Netflix documentary looks at the sordid history of world soccer’s governing body. It’s like watching a true-crime show, like the ‘FBI Files’. Speaking of which: FBI investigated FIFA the same way they dealt with organized crime in the
    United States (American Mafia, Cosa Nostra).

    Like politics, football is based on passion. Passion always leads to corruption.

    Looks interesting... not that anybody would be surprised.

    Many years ago I read a book, "How They Stole The Game" by David Yallop
    which was about FIFA, primarily the Havelenge era and early years of
    Blatter. FIFA was corrupt then and very little has changed since that book
    was published. FIFA are the football Mafia... minus the 'Blatter sleeps
    with the fishes' sort of thing.
