First, John Oliver took down FIFA, and now it's Jon Stewart's turn.

The Daily Show host ran a segment on Wednesday night devoted to the corruption charges brought against 14 officials of the organization and, more importantly, why it took 24 years to expose them.

Stewart's segment was filled with zinger after zinger, which we've highlighted a few here, for your FIFA-mocking convenience:

"FIFA is so bad they got arrested by the Swiss."

"You know you’re corrupt when the indictment ends with ‘and so on.'"

"Americans may not watch soccer, but we will gladly, nay, enthusiastically finance and launder its dirty, dirty money."
