That would be the FIFA that has awarded the next two World Cups to probably the two most corrupt countries in the world

A multi billion dollar piracy act but they've only spent $200,000 trying to combat it.
Seems to me that they realise there's not much ( technology wise ) that they can do.

The one thing that surprised me in the article was not the piracy but that La Liga had agreed a sponsorship deal with Saudi Arabia to loan players from the Saudi world cup squad to top Spanish sides.

It would be great to see Ronaldo's reaction to being dropped in favour of an unknown Saudi player
