Basically, FIFA is saying to the US DOJ: "Yes, our folks took bribes. They were bad people. But they aren't here anymore, so give us the money you seized back."

Would have been even more hilarious if FIFA had elected Tokyo Sexwale as their new president a couple of weeks ago. Yes, that's the guy's real name and not something you can buy from a Japanese vending machine.

(For the record, it's not actually pronounced "sex whale". It's pronounced like the rapper Wale: "wah lay".)
