I watched a BBC report on corruption in Brazilian football. How the national teams of Brazil and Argentina were used for financial gain by the governing bodies of both teams. It happened when both teams were sent to play a friendly in Qatar in 2010. $2m was paid to companies in Buenos Aires.

What stood out in the report was the comments from the Brazilian football supporters. They know it is corrupt and every single one condemned it utterly. They have bankrupt clubs, poor attendance and all their best players play abroad. Yet the governing body is rich. They hate it for ruining their beloved game.
