Synopsis

On World Football this week.....Is homosexuality the biggest taboo in football?...we investigate homophobia in the game...and ask why gay players are so reluctant to 'come out'?

We're in Venezuela following the kidnap and murder of an entire football team. We look at how South American players continue to be targeted by political groups and criminal gangs.

On the pitch....there's trouble for Real and Atletico Madrid....we hear from the Serbia coach Raddy Antic who's managed both sides

And as swine flu spreads across Western Europe - will football be the next major casualty?
