Corruption is Everywhere - Even in German Football

German FA officials charged with fraud

BERN • Swiss prosecutors yesterday charged former members of the German football federation (DFB) and a former Fifa official with fraud over the true purpose of a €6.7 million (S$10.3 million) payment before the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Former DFB president Theo Zwanziger, its general secretary Horst R. Schmidt and former Fifa general secretary Urs Linsi are accused of jointly committing fraud, while Wolfgang Niersbach - Zwanziger's successor as DFB president - has been charged with being complicit in fraud.

The Swiss attorney-general's office said that proceedings against Germany great Franz Beckenbauer, who headed the 2006 World Cup organising committee, will be conducted separately because he is currently unable to participate "for health reasons".

Northwood's Proverbs

The Secret to Happiness is the Joy of the Lord;

and the joy of the Lord is His manifest presence in your life.

It is our Privilege and Responsibility to Glorify God;

and we glorify God by manifesting His character every moment and in every situation.

Humility and Pride

You can tell a humble man that he has a problem with pride and he will agree with you;

but if you tell a proud man that he has a problem with pride, he becomes your enemy.

This one thing I know for sure, that whenever there is a problem with my relationship with the Lord, it is not His fault.

Some people are just plain lazy;

some people are just overly sensitive to gravity;

others are simply economical with their energy.

It's not enough to preach the Gospel; you must be the Gospel.

If you can describe your life in a nutshell, there's a good probability that you're a nut.

As a good Canadian, I'd like to apologize in advance for anything I might say that offends you; sometimes my mouth hits high gear while my brain is still in low.

Never allow the thought, "I am of no use where I am"; because you certainly can be of no use where you are not. Oswald Chambers

We cannot even begin to approach the Truth until we are willing to go wherever the Truth leads us.

The newest object of idol worship is 'my opinion'!

Suffering is the only experience we have in common with every other human who ever lived.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

-Blaise Pascal
