Takakannen esittelytekstiä:

World football's governing body FIFA has claimed credit for the success of one of the world's greatest and most lucrative sporting spectacles - the football World Cup - and the expansion of the world game more generally. However, although the most recent tournament in Asia appeared to be an outstanding success, behind the scenes the administration of the world game is in a shambles. Though the President of FIFA, Joseph "Sepp" Blatter, secured a second term at a heated FIFA Congress on the eve of the 2002 World Cup, internecine rivalries persist at the heart of the organization, and FIFA's bedevilled finances continue to be veiled in secrecy.

In Badfellas, Sugden and Tomlinson update the astonishing tale of FIFA's expanding fortunes and recurrent crises. They trace the growth of the FIFA World Cup from its politically driven origins in Uruguay in 1930 to its status as one of the world's most lucrative media spectacles. They show how the interests of small developing countries have been exploited and betrayed and reveal how an organisation founded by seven European nations has come to control the future of the game in more than 200 countries in the post-colonial world. It also documents the fall-outs, feuds and frauds that have threatened the well-being of the people's game.
