Romario wants soccer bosses behind bars

Romario, who led Brazil to the 1994 World Cup, said on Wednesday the nation's soccer bosses should serve prison time for the national team's humiliating 7-1 World Cup defeat to Germany.

One day after the semifinal thrashing, Romario, now a politician and member of the Chamber of Deputies, said the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) was plagued by corruption because clubs have elected the same leaders for years.

"Our football has been deteriorating for years. It is being dragged down by leaders who don't even have the talent to juggle the ball," Romario said in a letter posted on social media.
