If anybody calls me corrupt because FIFA is corrupt, I can only shake my head. Everybody who says something like that should go to jail."U.S. attorney general Loretta Lynch is working on that too. In May, 14 top FIFA officials were arrested in Zurich, Switzerland, and charged with corruption by U.S. prosecutors. Blatter is set to miss this Sunday's Women's World Cup Final in Vancouver, Canada, for the first time, citing "personal reasons" for not traveling. It's widely speculated that Blatter's lawyers advised him not to make the trip over fears that he could face charges in Canada. Over the past month, the United States Department of Justice has dramatically cracked down on corruption that has plagued FIFA, the international governing body of soccer, since the 1970s. In an early morning raid at a luxury hotel, Swiss police arrested sports executives attending the annual FIFA Congress, just days before the organization's elections were to be held at its headquarters in Zurich. With American officials flipping former FIFA executives such as Chuck Blazer, it seems clear that FIFA's house of cards will inevitably fall apart. Beyond the scope of the arrests, what has developed since this legal action is only more of the same in FIFA's typical circus act. The war of words between comedian John Oliver and former FIFA executive Jack Warner taking place over purchased airtime on Trinidadian television, the timely theatrical release of United Passions -- a film on the history of FIFA described by the Guardian as "cinematic excrement" -- and the resignation of FIFA president Sepp Blatter four days after winning his re-election has provided entertainment value for the public, and hope for soccer fans who want to see "the beautiful game" change for the better. Yet, one has to wonder why it has taken the legal action of a nation generally viewed as apathetic to soccer to bring much-needed justice to the world's most popular sport. Some speculate that the Americans are simply seeking revenge against FIFA for a failed World Cup 2022 bid, but it is most likely that the FIFA scandal ultimate team coins is just another episode of foreign intervention. Politics and sports often go hand in hand, and this most recent unfolding of corruption in international soccer is undoubtedly characterized by the geopolitics of today. The Europeans and the South Americans, home to the giants of soccer, have applauded these legal developments, while officials in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, as well as Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin, have accused the United States of imperialism and colonial subjugation. The takedown of Sepp Blatter, according to James Kirchick of the Foreign Policy Initiative, is not so different from the cases of "the tin-pot dictators America overthrows every decade or so."
