Money flowed like water through FIFA before the FBI got involved and indictments came out. I’m convinced billions were involved in Qutar 2022. And yes, they still had to win, but the decked stacked in your favor never hurt. Seeing Brazil in the Round of 16 is harder than avoiding them until the final. England, Brazil, Argentina, and the Netherlands beat on each other before France got by a decent Italian team and Germany got beat by Croatia, which led to the complete tear down of German Football management.
