As the investigation and arrests continue, do not miss this collection of the best FIFA jokes following the dramatic events on Wednesday that saw seven people held by police in Zurich.

PLUS! MORE FIFA FUN:

We were tirelessly trawling through Twitter as the United States accused the world football organisation of accepting bribes and kickbacks estimated at more than $150m over a 24-year period.

US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said:

Two generations of soccer officials used their positions to solicit bribes. They did this over and over, year after year, tournament after tournament.

They corrupted the business of worldwide soccer to serve their interests and to enrich themselves.

But that’s not very funny, so let’s move on to the FIFA jokes we found as the police investigation unfolded and arrests were made in Switzerland:

Hope these corrupt FIFA officials get booted out and given very large penalties. If you sighed at these puns I'd like to see you do Blatter.

The beautiful irony is that #FIFA has been trying for decades to get the Yanks interested in "soccer". They got the FBI interested at least.

I guess the FIFA officials thought it was ok to accept kickbacks as long as they didn't use their hands.
