This just in: FIFA is probably corrupt.
British journalists working for The Times and posing as Americans claim to have caught two FIFA executive committee members — Amos Adamu of Nigeria and Reynald Temarii of Tahiti — offering to sell their World Cup votes. The men sit on the 24-member panel that will determine the hosts of the 2018 and 2022 tournaments on Dec. 2.
The reporters staged their sting, which focused on the 2018 event (England is in the running) and was captured on video, before the U.S. pulled out of the race on Friday.
