Good Read! depending how you look at it

Pick up a copy of the "Fix" Wow! I must admit it makes you look at
football games ( and other sports) at times with a bit of an eyebrow raised.

I heard the author on the radio the other night. he sounds like an ass, but some of the evidence he claims to have is really damning...he says there were World Cup matches that were fixed...including Brazil v Ghana in 2006...

not surprised, it happens all the time. just look at the money being betted on for a big game, you would understand the magnitude if a team loss or won what monetary effects it would have on the parties involved.

boss I like some things in the book. Especially how players go about fixing the games, its not what I really vision in match fixing. What was also startling is what goes on behind the fixing. Maf knocks on a player door, shows him a picture of his family back home and tells him do it or else. Dam!
