FIFA corruption knows no bounds. [View all]

First, it allowed Trump to co-opt and keep the World Cup trophy that belonged to Chelsea.

Then last week, a hastily manufactured Peace Prize to Trump.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some referees make controversial calls that would elevate the U.S. team to the semis, then the finals, and World Cup.
