How can the world take a FIFA presidential candidate seriously if he is not funded by a half-baked, thrown-together, get-rich-quick scheme by a gambling company? FIFA is all about taking risks. Sometimes you have to take the bribe...erm...risk...and send the World Cup into the desert during the Summer. It's a risk that needed to be taken. Without a betting partner, Figo is an independent man, able to make his own choices and decide on the future of the game without an ulterior motive. Wouldn't it be a much wiser move to have a company that specialises in risky decisions, make those decisions for him?
