LONDON -- Officials in the English-speaking world should try to be humble rather than pompous when they talk about ethics and ending corruption in football, a FIFA vice president said Tuesday.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Victor Montagliani pointed to how recent allegations of wrongdoing in English soccer over the last week shows that no part of the game is immune from scandals.

As president of CONCACAF for five months, Montagliani has been overseeing the cleanup of a confederation including North and Central America and the Caribbean that became synonymous with bribery after the sprawling American criminal investigation into football.
