    Maybe it will put an end to the Ghana love fest that has been here for the past four years

    From the article:
    As part of a joint investigation with Channel 4's Dispatches, the Daily Telegraph filmed a registered Fifa agent, Christopher Forsythe and Obed Nketiah, who sits on the management committee of the Ghana under-20 team, allegedly promising they would be able to arrange a deal to rig international friendlies.
    There is no suggestion that any of the World Cup games or players are involved in any match-fixing.

    Ghana not on the take.

    Fifa on the take.

    What's not to love about plucky underdogs playing good football and doing well for themselves?

    We are laughable in comparison with our crappy football and lack of ambition yet if someone posted a similar comment about Ireland in any other country's forum we'd be outraged.

    In what way are they not?

    He's only a registered FIFA agent, he doesnt work for FIFA. It obviously takes both sides to pull off something like this.

    Just sick of people going on about how they were cheated out of a SF place in 2010.

    This might explain why refs have been refusing to award blatant penalties at the World Cup, FIFA must have known this programme was coming.

    Manchester United's 6-1 defeat to Manchester City, just sayin' ;)

    or

    Football: Man Utd blow away the Gunners in 6-1 route

    Everton 1 - 6 Arsenal 2009 (the defending in this game was just awful)
    Arsenal 6 - 1 Southampton
    Norwich City 1-6 Manchester City
    Chelsea 6-1 Queens Park Rangers
    Aston Villa 6-1 Sunderland

    These are the 6-1 games in the PL in recent years, which one is the fix?

    At least two fixed matches in the Europa League Qualifying matches this afternoon/evening, most people have no idea how much of an issue fixing is.
