These are desperate, Fifa coins poor foreign nationals

These are desperate, Fifa coins poor foreign nationals. They have their passports removed. They live in filthy cramped quarters. They work in unbearable summer heat of 50c. Half die of sudden cardiac arrest. Does New Zealand want to sanction this atrocity for a few games of soccer.

The football World Cup has never been clean. The Fifa Fair Play Award, won by New Zealand in 1999, may be the most ironic bauble in sport. You can go back to 1954 when Germany's shock victory over Hungary was deemed suspicious. Needles and syringes were found in the German dressing room. The team doctor said he had injected placebos. But many thought that Pervitin, a stimulant used on troops in the war, had been given to the players.

Diego Maradona was dosed with cortisone so he could play through the terrible kicking he received over a career. Many believed that Argentina's 6-0 victory over Peru in '78, when the host nation needed to win by four goals, was a fix. Four years later Germany and Austria colluded to play out a 1-0 result that put them both through.

Dr Eufemiano Fuentes, the infamous Spanish Doctor Dope, has said, "If I would talk, the Spanish football team would be stripped of the 2010 World Cup."

You get the picture. Football is filthy. How glorious it would be if one footballer withdrew from this World Cup, sickened by all the cheating and corruption. How glorious it would be if New Zealand set an example to countries that could make a difference www.eafut14coins.co.uk like America, Japan, England and Germany, and quit Fifa.
