HACK JOB: In S.F., Ann Killion notes the official Twitter accounts of both the FIFA World Cup and FIFA President Sepp Blatter "were hacked" yesterday by a group calling itself the Syrian Electronic Army. The "tweet attack is merely another example of the intertwining of soccer and global politics." It is an "example of how, even in the midst of national crisis, soccer remains an obsessive, galvanizing force" (S.F. CHRONICLE, 4/23). The hacking included messages "suggesting the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar had been corrupted" (ESPNFC.com, 4/22).
