Episode 706 - FIFA Uncovered

arseblog.com
About this episode

With the World Cup ongoing, I chat to Miles Coleman, the writer and producer of FIFA Uncovered – a four part documentary series available now on Netflix. We chat about the origins of both the film itself and FIFA as an organisation, as well as decisions that were made and moments which set it on a course to corruption. We also discuss some of the key figures, including Joao Havelange and the man who followed him, Sepp Blatter; the culture inside FIFA and how football decisions are made; whether anything can or will change; and lots more.
