I know that most people don't care about soccer in the U.S., and certainly they didn't care back in 1998 when this scandal happened, but I'm a big fan, and this one totally shocked me. It involves one player sleeping with another player's wife--which caused that player to be kicked off the World Cup team. The player that was kicked off just happened to be the captain of the team.
I remember when it happened, and I couldn't understand the move. Now I get it.
Read the story here if you're interested. It's a doozy.
By the way, I'm going to the World Cup this summer in South Africa and I'm totally excited about it. (That's not a joke...I'm serious.)
I promise to stay away from all of the players wives.
