Europol and Police have uncovered a huge match fixing syndicate based in Asia, over 380 matches all throughout Europe are labeled as suspicious and a total of 8 million Euro has been made in profit. This scandal will dwarf the 2006 Italian scandal as 425 match officials, club officials and players in over 15 countries have been suspected of involvement in this affair.

2 UEFA champions league matches one on English soil, several top-flight matches in European national leagues and world cup qualifiers are among the matches in question.

Most of the time, match fixing doesn't happen in games where everyone questions the calls that were made. It is too early to point fingers.

I've been pointing fingers since 2009 man.

Two words, Tom Overbo.

This 100%. That was the worst match of reefing i've ever seen. Chelsea should have won at least 3-0 but he kept them back and they got flowering knocked out to prevent the 2nd straight all-English champions league final.

Cost united the champions league pretty much and we had to sell Ronaldo because of the barbie.

He still sided with us  :o!

Jukes

yeah ele I was totally for you guys that match and nao. Chelsea should've certainly had at least 2 penalties, let alone 3-4, biggest rip-off of all time.

I'll always prefer the English alternative over an abroad side, unless I feel for that side or the English side are being total cows *cough cough* parking the bus *cough cough*

I also remember both goals, Essien and Iniesta, being all class.

elephants

Hahaha, wisely using tactics vs being cows ;)
