This was in news last week.
The Singapore guy video was on the Internet and said he fixed three games in last years World Cup for 600k or something.
Was filmed by an Australian undercover.
So what's England's excuse then?
Some guy in Germany won a small fortune betting that Cameroon would suffer a 4-0 defeat by Croatia and predicted the first half sending off.
I can see how money could've been made from a Cameroon defeat coupled with a sending off, but I don't see how an exact result (such as 4-0) can possibly be fixed. Anything can happen. Croatia could have missed a hatful, taken their foot off the gas, or carried on scoring. You'd practically need all 22 players in on the fix to contrive an exact scoreline.

Or the ref?
Oh dear. An obvious opportunity for some knee-jerk ignorance and instead you took the time to think it through. Schoolboy stuff.
