JFK (John Fitzgerald Kennedy) was a 2nd rate President, a Neo-Conservative before the term became popular, nowhere near as good as Eisenhower, for instance, or Lincoln. However, I am fairly certain that JFK had nothing to do with the soccer bribery scandal raging in the UK in 2006.

========================================= This is Andres Escobar's Own Goal against his own country Colombia in 1994 World Cup Finals match against USA. He was end by his countrymen for this when he returned home.
=============================================== On July 2, 1994, Escobar was shot outside a bar in a Medell'n suburb. According to Escobar's girlfriend, the person shouted "ĮGooooooooooooool!" (mimicking south american sporting commentators for their calls after a goal is scored) for each of the 12 bullets fired. The liquidate was widely believed to be a punishment for the own goal.1 It is not clear whether the liquidateer acted on his own initiative, or whether he was sent out by one of the gambling syndicates who had bet large amounts of money on Colombia to win the Cup, or at least qualify for the second round. The BBC issued an apology the following day after its pundit Alan Hansen commented on another match that "the Argentine defender wants shooting for a mistake like that." 2 editliquidateer Humberto Mu-oz Castro was found guilty of Escobar's liquidate in June 1995 and sentenced to 43 years in prison. Mu-oz had been working as a bodyguard. The sentence was later reduced to 26 years due to his submitting to the ruling penal code in 2001. Mu-oz was released on good behavior due to further reductions from prison work and study in 2005 after serving approximately 11 years, in a controversial move. ===============================================
