Chuck Blazer spent $6,000 a month on an apartment for his cats. He was also an FBI informant. You really need to read the Daily News investigation.
No one really knows if the women will win their lawsuit against FIFA regarding turf at the 2015 World Cup: "CSA and FIFA have potentially persuasive defenses under the law. But fans, sponsors, broadcasting companies, politicians and other important constituencies may not care about technical legal distinctions. Simply put, if the public believes that women soccer players are being treated worse than their male counterparts, CSA and FIFA’s business could take a hit. This creates an incentive for CSA and FIFA to try to settle with the players."
Things the New England Revolution have: a playoff win. Things they don't: a new stadium. "Eight years after the Revs declared their intent to move out of cavernous Gillette Stadium in Foxborough and build a soccer-specific arena in an urban location, the project is not much closer to reality than it was in 2006, despite the current momentum of the team, league, and sport," the Boston Globe reports. "That means one of Major League Soccer’s founding franchises is now one of the last without a tailor-made stadium."

If you can make it there....
