Soccer Money Matters

[facon12]

It looks like FIFA is implementing an online payment and tracking system to reduce fraud involved in player trading. (for those of you non soccer/futbal fans it happens a lot) I think this is all well and good but this quote made me groan:

"In an online system, you cannot cheat," FIFA legal chief Marco Villiger said.

If they think that just because the system is online that they are 100% safe they have a lot to learn. FIFA is typically backwards on technology so this sort of expectation isn't a surprise, i just hope someone actually implementing this system is a little bit smarter than their legal chief. Tracking things online will help with their problems as long as that system cant be compromised. If you can break into it or steal someones password to the system, you could create even more legitimate looking fraud in some ways.
