Soccer Match Fixing

Interesting look at how easy it was/is to fix World Cup exhibition games. Can't say I'm surprised. When you have an organization so obviously corrupt like FIFA - it is almost expected that the whole of the organization would be corrupt. As they say a fish stinks from the head down. Two years to even begin investigation allegations. No permanent suspensions or criminal charges in obviously fixed games. Way to go FIFA!
