SOMEONE ASKED, IS SOCCER GREAT MESSI CORRUPT ? . The stench of CORRUPTION is SETTLING over world SOCCER like a poisonous fog, and players are paying the price. Not so the ORGANIZATION that runs the sport around the WORLD. Let’s watch, for a moment, the soccer player many people believe is the greatest of all time: The BALL SLIDES into his path in a pocket of space, eight yards outside his opponents’ box. He lets it roll and then pokes it between two defenders to a teammate, darting inside towards the top of the box. The ball comes back and he plays it to another with a second touch, then he ghosts into the box where he waits, patiently, until his teammate shoots. In a flash he deflects the shot, with the speed of instinct, right past the goalkeeper. Lionel Messi has scored, and it was not just any goal. It was his 72nd in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, more than anyone else in the HISTORY of Europe’s premier soccer competition. By the end of last month, he’d made it 74, and set the record for Spain’s La Liga along the way.
