I'm actually referring to within the world of soccer itself: the people that follow the game - they all accept the diving, the feigning, the time wasting, handing out silverware with pens, and the fact that the game is as corrupt as all hell - they all accept it - it's bizarre.
I tend to think there are certain elements of the soccer watching crowd who get off on the politics of it all and pride themselves of the knowlege of such.
( I can understand it to an extent, I used to watch Formula one, when there were many different engines/technical aspects to the sport, which I found as interesting as the racing / LOL at stupid punters who didn't think Coulthard would slow down and let his teammate win. ).
It's a bit of an arrogant stance for FIFA to take such a situation for granted though, as it is by its very nature frustrating for the casual observer to watch, and it doesn't help the sport appeal to new audiences.
