Corruption in European football in Soccer ·
wallace As if anyone actually cares what he thinks.
It’s honestly unbelievable... you guys still haven't managed to get a decent headline right. It isn't "scam," it's "fraud," and it shouldn't be "European"—it needs to be "Euro." Just fix it already.😠

Can you ever truly forgive me? I originally kicked things off back on the old B92 forums, thinking that was where the real conversation lived.
I honestly wouldn't hold my breath; I suspect Americans will only start showing a genuine interest in these kinds of financial frauds once they realize how much it’s actually hitting their own pockets.
Turns out that assumption was dead wrong; there isn't any corruption happening over in Mexico.
The content in this American thread is nothing more than a lazy copy-paste job straight from a news site like CNN.
I suppose I should add a little postscript here, though at this point, what else is there to say? It’s all just more of the same noise we deal with every single day in this country.
I suppose I’ll start paying closer attention to my American grammar and spelling from here on out, mostly because I have zero desire to accidentally bruise anyone's national pride. If you really want, I could even start a thread over on CNN using nothing but pristine, textbook American English as a sort of gesture of good faith—a little way of showing I’m truly sorry for the slip-ups. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Corruption in European football in Soccer ·
According to a report from Newsweek, FIFA is currently digging into what might be the largest match-fixing scandal in the history of European soccer. We're looking at 26 different matches spanning Champions League qualifiers, the Europa League, and the EP. Most of the teams under the microscope seem to hail from Eastern Europe, including some outfits from the States and Mexico. FIFA has already handed over a massive mountain of documentation to the FBI.
I suspect there's a direct link to organized crime syndicates out of Asia. Since there aren't actually that many teams from the US or Mexico involved in these specific qualifying rounds, I honestly think we'll see official announcements very soon that confirm everything we already suspected—it was just a matter of finding the actual evidence, right?
For those of you who happen to read German, you can track down the full investigation on the Newsweek website.
