Franz Beckenbauer is (allegedly) a crook

[BlueAnorak]

Franz Beckenbauer handed over a big wad of cash to get the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

So that's another crook working at Bayern...

Doesn't come as a surprise
Nor word hearing South Africa won the rights to host the world cup by bungs

Absolute fucking joke..............I mean lets just say this is all above board how did he think it would look to the outside world ??

That Hall of Shame does read like a rags roll call though - supply of dodgy meat, peeping Tom's, Touting, Shagging your brothers Mrs and so on - Europe's so called established elite do seem to attract lower life forms don't they?

isn't it funny how, for the most part, we are under the illusion that fair play and hard work lead to a successful outcome, but it turns out it is by far better to just cheat and bribe your way to success!!!

and they would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those pesky paper trials!!

Ah, so that's what they mean by Financial Fair Play.
