re: the keane article

im not likely to believe a source that repeats a paragraph to start the article

that guy seems like a douchebag if hes the one im thinking of, hes the one that threatened to keep england from getting .... something or other

He is. He's one of those entrenched powerful FIFA types who keep Blatter up top.

As for the article itself, it's the same on many sites. This is just the first one I came across.
