PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The corruption charges against FIFA officials leave those who follow soccer closely stunned on Wednesday morning.
Soccer fans have long expressed their concerns with how FIFA operates. But actual arrests and charges, CBS 3 soccer expert Kevin Kinkead says, are surprising.
“This is unprecedented,” says Kinkead. “I can’t make any kind of comparison to American sports.”
FIFA controls everything soccer, Kinkead says, and it has never been challenged by a government like this.
