The disparity of pay between the fifa players, especially for the world cup, is ridiculous and there should be some adjustment made. I am sure fixing is very, very rare, but something FIFA has to keep their eyes on. I think its a great point to keep in mind.

It should be here in a matter of days. Ordered it yesterday. At this point I'm more worried about match officials than players. I don't want to sound like a sour USA supporter but I can't help but wonder, given the bad calls that follow their matches, if this fix is in against certain teams as well. Playing Ghana in the next round, the last team standing from Africa, I have my worries of getting screwed again. I’m eager to read Hill’s book. It should be here in a matter of days.
