Indeed.

But there is at least one team in that list I would believe could do such thing. And it is not The Spurs.

On the other hand if the only clue that is that it was played in England is there any chance it was the away team they investigate? If so the list of possible culprits increase.

Edit: Just read about it and it is a match that was played during the last four years. Does that increase the number of suspects?

I think the only English teams are those named above - although Liverpool may just fit that timeframe.

Rumor has it that it is Liverpool that is being investigated but that the main suspicion is against the away team (from Hungary) in that match.

Yes - Debrecen. And apparently the goalkeeper managed to muck it too if the rumours are true. The bet was for 2 goals in the match. Debrecen lost 1-0 [8|]

Maybe the strikers in the other team had a bet for a 0-0 draw. [;)]

Yes, apparently Steven Gerrard was criticised for being profligate in front of goal. Maybe he had a tenner on himself not to score a 2nd [:)]

I finally admit that European football sucks. I have been a dumbass for denying that parusski was correct [:)]

US Men lose 2-1 to Honduras in World Cup qualifier round. Looks like the Hondurans outbid us on the bribes. When oh when will we ever get a handle on how to compete / properly bribe in international soccer? [:@]

So where does that leave you in the qualification table? Are the US going to Brazil next year?

Dunno. When the Hondurans outbribe you, goodness knows what it would cost to get past the Brazilians! [X(]

Oh, you meant for the World Cup competition cutoff? We're not done for yet-additional qualifier matches are pending.

BIG match today

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United

We lost to the Magpies on the opening day of the season but then they suffered a disastrous first half of the campaign. However their form has been revitalised by the signing of every available French footballer in the January transfer window so its going to be tres tres difficile for the Spurs today.

Fingers and everything else crossed - if we were to win we go 3rd [:)], if we lose then Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool can really apply the pressure [&:].

Tottenham seems to have a good season despite that they have a new coach and haven't improved the squad that much.
