You may recall RNC Chairman Reince Preibus faced similar charges several years ago.

It was the US who initiated these actions and those of us who have known that FIFA absolutely stunk, can only say "Thank you"!!

I'm glad the Swiss are now getting in on the act.

I'm not an American, so this is not me patting my country on the back.
