Don't twist my words. I did not say it's perfectly acceptable to cheat.
It is clear from my comment that corruption is inherent in sports. Take the Salt lake City Olympics for example. In most cases, backroom deals are done... money, TV rights, lucrative contracts. Only this time, it was very obvious. I mean, it was hard to miss the flashing petro dollars signs :)
No way it is acceptable to cheat, but this wheeling dealing has been going on for long. Not as if Qatar & Spain were the first. But why did FIFA take so long to clean up the mess, and that too they raise a hue and cry only when it serves some ulterior motive.
