There is supposed to be (no sources named) a DFB document from 2000, offering "considerable advantages" to Jack Warner from CONCACAF, in regard to votes for Germany in 2006. And it's supposed to be signed by Beckenbauer. (Bild wrote about it, but as they're normally totally pro-Beckenbauer, write about him all the time and have him write commentaries, I'd not be surprised if this was legit.)

Hmm it probably is. Interesting developments anyway. It would have been almost impossible to organise the tournament without bribes.

Isn't logical that Ronaldo's Man Utd time isn't in there? I thought it was a movie about his time in Real, not a documentary about his whole career.

true!

I guess because it was pitched as a documentary (or that's what we were lead to believe), people expected an entire career retrospective, but nope, it's behind the scenes bit for the past fourteen months.

Still surprised that Mourinho rocked up though, considering himself and Ronaldo don't have the warmest relationship, but then, it would have been more damning if Mou didn't go.

Ronaldo's mama looks a wee bit like Carrie Fisher!

She reminds me of Mare Winningham.

Had no idea who she was, but when I googled her name, I nodded in agreement.
