The federal judge overseeing the wide-ranging corruption case involving soccer's global governing body FIFA said at a hearing on Wednesday that a trial could begin in September or October of next year. At the hearing in front of U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie in Brooklyn, New York, Assistant U.S. Attorney Evan Norris said the government does expect to bring additional charges in the case although he also said it was "too early to say" if additional defendants would be charged.  So far 42 individuals and entities have been charged in the case that has rocked the soccer world.
