Charles Davis, author of independent news outlet The Redoubt, joins the show today all the way from Vienna, Austria.

Josh and Joe are joined by Tom Kludt, special correspondent at Vanity Fair and a former TPMer. They discuss the World Cup, FIFA, corruption, doping, and more, including why Sepp Blatter, as corrupt as he was, may have been better for soccer as a sport than FIFA's current head, Gianni Infantino.
