Boom. Wouldn't surprise me after the report about that firm actually choosing the national team sides.

wonder how much Nike bribed the NFL so they could put the Seahawks/Jaguars/Bucs in the trash they call their uniforms now

Did she really just butcher the pronunciation of FIFA?

I haven't watched it, but I saw on Twitter she was referring to FISA, which is the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act

to be fair... she probably thinks "goal keeper" is the person in the administration whose job is to keep attacking Fox News

I was just impressed with her in the press conference. I'm embarrassed to say this is the first exposure I've had to her.

The IRS Bro lit the place on fire.

Was hoping that Traffic would be mentioned

Can someone give me the quick and dirty on Traffic Sports? This is the first I've heard of them.

This particular division seems to deal primarily with managing CONCACAF events. You may not remember, but you've probably seen their "Traffic" ad boards.
Traffic is a Brazilian company that owns a couple of clubs (e.g., the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers), has been heavily involved in 3rd party ownership (e.g., Gale Agbossoumonde), and is involved in other shady shite like managing CONCACAF events.

Not sure if the Traffic Sports USA is associated with the brazil one, but the USA one is a soccer event management company. They set up game locations for tournaments and friendlies.
Their resumé shows they have organized CONCACAF WC qualifying matches, Gold Cup's and CONCACAF Champions League matches. I'm assuming where the bribes came from.
