Are we surprised? FIFA is all about image and sponsors these days, much like the IOC so reports like the above are buried until the people involved are long gone so the Organisation can claim things have changed.

Had to laugh at the bit where the bribe was mistakenly transferred to a FIFA account instead of Havelange's private account, Irish government style.
