Big news in soccer/futbol to close out a Tuesday. "Several" top officials for FIFA arrested in Switzerland and being extradited to the US on a sheeek ton of charges. Crazy stuff. FIFA has to be the sketchiest of the professional sports because it seems like every year you hear something new about it. From taking bribes to influence the location of a World Cup in twenty years to money laundering and beyond. FIFA has some crooked people running it, and it's good to see the US, which puts soccer so low on the totem poll of sports, is finally step up and do something about it. It'll be very interesting to see the fallout from this in the weeks and months to come.
