Sepp the Incorruptible

We can debate Obama's Nobel Peace Prize all we want, but honestly he should win another one for taking down FIFA
 
The trouble is, seems like everybody in any sort of leadership position in FIFA was tainted. Sepp was certainly thorough, we have to give him that. So thorough that today there seems to be virtually no one with sufficient experience in the organization, who is "clean" enough to clean up the mess. And another mess, maybe an even bigger one, is what we are going to have for years - perhaps decades - to come.
 
Sailor, before you start to take too seriously the large doses of nonsense that are typical of the German press writing about Sepp, you ought to look over this more academic study - done by the German Council on Foreign Relations, that is, by the Germans themselves - on the reporting being carried out in the German language media about Sepp. The German press appears to be engaged in a campaign of disinformation and distortions about FIFA and its current ExCo. Unfortunately, the English language media has not been much better. If ever there was a moment for remembering the famous adage, "don't believe everything you read in the papers" it is when you read about the current FIFA ExCo in the German language, and unfortunately English as well, press. Indeed, you would do well to believe hardly any of it.

If it's any consolation, the Austrian habit of blaming Sepp is quite old and well established. By now it might even be reflexive. You shouldn't take that too seriously either.
