For nearly a decade, Russia and Qatar have been suspected of buying votes to win hosting rights for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. On Monday, for the first time, the U.S. Department of Justice explicitly described the scheme.

Good for the DOJ. This bribery scheme was suspected from the moment these counties were awarded the World Cup. The 2022 World Cup should be moved to England, who hasn’t hosted in over 50 years. https://t.co/vPRR7OMD5q
