Soccer and Match Fixing: Is FIFA Up to the Task?

The New York Times published a comprehensive report this weekend on the problem of match fixing for gambling purposes in soccer, and detailed a particular case on the eve of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in which a referee from Niger allegedly received upwards of $100,000 to fix an exhibition match between South Africa and Guatemala.  The report reveals the apparent ease by which officials in some national federations can be infiltrated, but also FIFA's capacity -- or lack thereof -- to effectively address match fixing on the part of players, referees, team officials, and national federations.  http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/01/sports/soccer/fixed-matches-cast-shadow-over-world-cup.html?hpw&rref=sports
