I suspect that they are just rubbish at hiding the fact they are fixing matches which is why it always seems to be them that are at it. I would be amazed if it is not happening elsewhere as well
Who here watches Italian football anymore? It's a downright traveshamockery. The last game i watched was Juventus - AC Milan with penalties denied, goals that should have stood were disallowed. Cards flying all around and in the end, by miracle because AC Milan shouldve won that match, Juventus won and took the national title later on. From the kick-off i already had my doubts about this match, but seeing the Juventus coach being questioned raises alot of questions. But don't they ever freakin learn in Italy, Juventus was already put back to the first division for match fixing and fraude in 2008 or 9.
I grew up loving Italian football channel 4 on Sundays. Still have a soft spot for Lazio even now. I think they'll lose all their top players to Epl, la liga, bundesliga and even Ligue 1 could overtake it in the next few years
It just goes to show how far the Italian game has fell. When I was growing up the Italian teams were the best around and won the Champions League a lot. I would also be surpriced if it wasnt more widespread and you cant count on FIFA to sort it out cos in all honesty I wouldnt trust them to organise a piss up in a brewery
Match fixing is big all over the world, unfortunately, the Itallions dont seem to be very good at hiding it. Obviously no OMERTA in Italian football.
