I have only read a few bit parts of it but for peope who find it interesting to about how corrupt FIFA is then I recommend this book. We all know already, of course, how corrupt FIFA is However, this book is written by an Australian, Bonita Mersiades, who was part of the Australian bidding team for the WC's in 2018 and 2022 so one get insight into how the FIFA representatives openly operates...
One thing she said was that Australia spent around £28M and only got 1 vote. Even Desmund Toto had apparently asked Australia to support some of his projects if Oz wanted South Africa's vote...
Name of the book is: Whatever it takes. Inside the story of the FIFA way
