It's a manipulative documentary, that is clearly aiming to spin the subject matter into a narrative where the pure and just United States of America swoops in and saves the day. I'm of course referring to the documentary's handling of the FBI investigation on FIFA leadership. Couple of the lines from the interviewees, hand picked to showcase USA as the saving angel, legitimately made me roll my eyes.
Outside of that, the subject matter is interesting but the documentary perhaps focuses too much on the corruption of the business instead of the corruption of the sport itself. Would have loved to see at least some input on alleged match fixing, coercion of teams and paid referees (2002 world cup). Also: please don't dub over the lines of the central figures in your documentary! Just give us some subtitles.
