Lord Triesman, publicly accused Spain and Russia in 2010 of bribing FIFA officials, is not surprised of the allegations.

I was ridiculed at the time for publicly claiming that Spain and Russia were bribing referees but who won the Cup that year? Spain. Maybe I should’ve kept that information to myself and bet on both teams.

I love football and am a big football fan, but what has happened to this organization is a terrible thing. These things have been going on for years.

Spain won ALL their tournament games by one goal, each and every time leading with 1-0? There is no coincidence in my mind…! – says a Lord Triesman who was working with FIFA’s management in 2010.

In 2010, Jorge Perez Arias the secretary general of Spanish football federation had labelled the idea of his country trying to bribe World Cup referees as ‘ridiculous’ and ‘impossible’.
