They’ve already got extradition set up and everything. From the Reddit comments “What if I told you that the last country to fully embrace the world’s favorite sport was the one who saved it.”

I think India is the last country to fully embrace football.

I don’t even have 4 hours to watch guys run around in a field. I surely don’t have 2 days.

But then I’d have to explain to customs that I was smuggling a dirty bomb back into the states.
Otherwise, sounds great!

From the times article you linked to...
“These individuals and organizations engaged in bribery to decide who would televise games, where the games would be held, and who would run the organization overseeing organized soccer worldwide,” said Ms. Lynch, who supervised the investigation from its earliest stages.
sounds like they took a page out of bernie’s book.

Cricket is neat to watch because it’s so civilized. “Let’s all stop for tea now, chaps.”
And if you’ve got some errands to do, no problem: Come back to the TV 4 or 5 hours later, and it’s still the exact same game with the same side at bats - you’ve missed nothing!
And finally, the rules are dead simple:
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that’s in the side that’s in goes out, and when he’s out he comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out. When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game.
