John Oliver really wants you to know about the corruption in FIFA.

Around this time last year, the Last Week Tonight host devoted 13 minutes to mocking the organization's nasty business practices. On Sunday's episode of Oliver's show, the host again went after the organization, this time zeroing in on its president, Sepp Blatter, who is running for a fifth term.

"If you don't know who Sepp Blatter is, think of Roger Goodell. And now, think of Roger Goodell's asshole. That is Sepp Blatter," says Oliver.

Oliver goes on to discuss Blatter's support for putting the World Cup in Qatar, as well as his ridiculous ideas for improving the popularity of women's soccer.

Oliver was clearly ahead of his time; on Wednesday, several officials -- Blatter not included -- were arrested on corruption charges.
