We've long since punctured the ceiling of bananas-but-feasible FIFA investigation details, and yet the stakes keep going up and up. Via The Daily Mail:

The German government sent a shipment of rocket-propelled grenades to Saudi Arabia in order to secure support for their bid to host the 2006 World Cup, according to the latest sensational claims in the FIFA scandal. German newspaper Die Zeit say the country's Football Association arranged for then-Chancellor Gerhard Schroder's administration to supply the arms in order to swing the Saudi vote from Morocco to Germany ahead of the vote in 2000. It helped tip the knife-edge vote in Germany's favor as they defeated South Africa 12-11 in the final round and duly hosted the World Cup finals six years later.

Germany also handed out investment promises and straight cash to other countries to swing hosting votes in their favor, but yo ... RPGs. Part of the reason Germany got the 2006 World Cup is because they gave out anti-tank weapons as gifts. This gets wilder every day.
