Disgraced FIFA Exec Jack Warner Is Very Happy the USMNT Missed the World Cup

Jack Warner has not had a lot to smile about since 2015. That's when Warner, the Trinidadian former vice president of FIFA and president of CONCACAF, was arrested by U.S. federal prosecutors on charges of bribery and fraud as part of the FIFA scandal that rocked world soccer.

Warner's ire turned toward the United States in September, when he lost an appeal that would have prevented him from being extradited to the U.S. to face those charges. Warner has just 28 days to appeal the decision before he has to come to the dreaded U S of A, a country he feels exposed him as the corrupt, lying man that he is.
