Is It Fixed??

The football World Cup is now on.

And Australia got totally thumped, humped and blasted by Germany in their first game. By four goals! oh dear ------4-0!



Interesting outcome, even worse than possibly feared. Will they get past the preliminaries?

An even more interesting interview today was on Radio National here in Australia with Declan Hill, author of the book, "The Fix". It is based on his PhD thesis at Oxford that examines the fixing of soccer games worldwide.
The interview is absolutely fascinating, and definitely gives one something to think about regarding football.

Go the Socceroos!
