Only Zagreb could get a financial penalty or something but it wont have any influence on Lyon or Ajax. Or there should be prove that Lyon payed money to Zagreb for letting them score so much.

    It is just the season Ajax is in I guess, playing bad and having bad luck in the competition, a lot of fights in the border, the half of the squad is out with injury's and now this.


    Match fixing is match fixing, look what happened to Juventus and co in Serie A a few years ago. If Zagreb threw the game to Lyon on purpose then I don't see no reason why Uefa can't call it a forfeit and award Lyon a 3-0 victory, effectively eliminating them. If they did a dodgy deal behind the scenes then I'd expect both teams to be fined and potentially prevented from entering the competition next year.

    It may well be though that it was a completely legitimate, unlikely, incredible comeback...
  2. The UEFA announced they wont do any research on this match...

    What to say about the UEFA?? I now just hope Lyon will play against Barcelona and will get killed with 43-0. Or maybe they can offer Barcelona some money too...........

    43-0 would be a great game. A least the French gambling authority are investigating, which says something about the game when they're investigating a French team. Platini is too much of a tit to launch something against his home nation. If ARJEL do find some evidence then it's going to cause a real storm.

    What is ARJEL ?


  5. +1, absolutely


  6. Autorité de régulation des jeux en ligne (English: "Regulatory authority for online games")

    ARJEL has now said it is "carrying out checks" on the match in Zagreb amid suggestions of foul play.
  7. I really hope that no foul play happened. It would be horrible if it did.
  8. Dont believe thats true. Believe Zagreb didnt go all out, thats not sports like, but not forbidden.

    However, its weird that football players feel the need to gamble on matches. They should forbid that, even gambling on other matches.


  9. Zagreb were down to 10 men yet went and took the lead Certainly went out to give it a go...
  10. Yeah well, than explain getting 7 goals in rapid succession Anyway, dont believe they were paid off, just not motivated and just plain bad.
  11. Ajax send a letter to the UEFA that they want them to research it, its the only think we can do. Of course nothing is going to come out of it but at least it some kind of signal.
