Ray Hudson spot on (as usual) on his crtisizim of Barca when they played RM...

What did he say?

I'll preface my remark by saying Hudson is a fanboy of Barca, but he was pretty critical on how uninspired they looked against RM especially since they had a make shift backline. He did say that Shakira's baby father looked good though (which is what I thought) & how he was returning to form.

Separately, kind of amazing that Barca will proly miss Tito for some more time & continue to play on (fairly well) however over with RM, Mourinho seems to be facing mutiny...

Widespread match-fixing uncovered

At a press conference in The Hague, in the Netherlands, the European Police announced that after investigating more than 700 football matches across Europe, they found 380 of them to have been fixed, including Champions League, World Cup qualifiers, and European Cup qualifying matches.

Europol, which had been leading the investigation for the last 18 months, has already made 50 arrests, and they have a list of 425 suspects, which include match officials, club representatives, players, and other criminals involved in the game.

The organization believes that a crime syndicate in Asia had organized the operation, and that the alleged criminals were making upwards of €8 million profit on each match that was rigged. Europol also announced that the match-fixing had been taking place in over 15 European countries.

Aren't you racist too?
I guess you can't expect much from people whose ancestors were rock throwing cave dwellers....

Huh? What you mean?

European ancestry (cro-magnon?) is derived from cave dwellers who could only throw rocks to hunt or scavenge...Later becoming barbaric tribes... More complicated than that but that's the jist of it...

Wow...

Yeah....thats not a good look AT ALL :x :smh: damn near every major level of competition in Europe involved in match fixing...I know Juve and some refs in other countries had been implicated but this is a whole nother level dammmmn
 
You almost think they can't release the details if it's as far reaching as it seems to be... The outage & back lash that could occur could be bad. But like Mr Marcus may have alluded to, is anyone really surprised?

Does anybody know what happened to GolTV? I watched Bundesliga games on there like 2 months ago. For some reason it's not showing up on my channels list. I'm located in Miami and I have Comcast 0]
 
I wonder what match was fixed in england...I'm thinking, just a thought, maybe when Man Utd lost AT HOME to besiktos (sp?)

Just guessing
